I'm purchasing a brand new
[url=http://www.fender.com/products//search.php?partno=0101570852]Image
American Deluxe Stratocaster FMT HSS[/url]
1) Does my new strat have a Multi-radiused neck?
2) What does Multi-radiused neck mean exactly? the back of the neck or the frets or both? lol
3) Is there a such thing is "Multi-radiused fretboard" or does the term apply only to "Multi-radiused neck"?
Any information is appreciated...

Sounds like you are talking about "compound radius" fingerboards. That's when the fingerboard is, say, 12 inches at the nut, gradually flattening along its length to 15 inches at the heel. Or similar.

To the best of my knowledge, your new Strat has a 9.5 inch radius 'board. In fact, I can't think of a production model Strat with a compound radius - but that doesn't mean there isn't one. Any takers?

Compound radius 'boards are more a luthier type of thing, though Parker do them a lot on guitars like their Fly.
