Post subject: MIJ E Series (84-87) Neck Profile?

Hi Everyone,

I have several (3) MIJ E series Strats (84-87) and I absolutely love the necks on these things! My hands are relatively small, and these necks fit just right! That being said, I've been considering getting a Fender Custom Shop custom order, but the main issue for me is matching these necks. Does anyone know what the neck profile is for these? I've searched around and found conflicting info, so now I'm really confused.

All three of my MIJ E series strats feel exactly the same, so I'm convinced that the neck profile must have been consistent, I just can't figure out what they are.

For what it's worth, all 3 came with the Kahler tremolo and locking nut.

Any help and info is appreciated!

Is it not possible to send one of the necks to the Custom Shop and have them replicate it for you?
The machinery they have access to can do this sort of thing completely accurately the only difference you'll find will be down to the consistancy (or lack of) of the timber used.
You have 3 of the MIJ guitars, so why not send in your absolute favourite feeling neck.

Thanks for the suggestion Stratmangler. I could (and might have to) go this route, but since the necks are so consistent, I figured it must be a known profile. Beyond that, with all the confusion out there, it would be nice to have a definitive answer just to know. That way in conversation I can talk about the neck and someone else that knows that profile will understand what I am talking about.

:D

So...does anybody know?

Fujigen-gakki made the MIJ guitars - they do not comment on them, as it would be a breach of confidentiality of their contract with Fender.
Fender Custom Shop might well be able to get them to spill the beans, but you or I never will be able to get that information from them.

It's easiest to send a neck into the Custom Shop.

Ok, let's try this again. :lol:

Let's say I'm not going to build a custom shop guitar...

I've never felt another Strat with as nice of a neck as these MIJ E Series guitars. I've read many comments similar to this on this forum and other places. Does anyone know of any other Strats that feel the same...or does anyone know what the neck profile for these guitars is called?

Thanks for your help!
