Are the dimensions of the strat neck versus the tele neck equal? I recently purchased my first Fender (a fat strat) but when I was demoing the tele the neck on the tele felt fatter, and somewhat easier to play for me (I have long fingers). Is it just my imagination? I am looking to purchase the Tele as well.

There will always be some variation between one neck's thickness to another's, even within the exact same model guitar. Then, there are some models which by design, will be thinner, fatter or whatever to that of another model's.

So, you were not imagining such things. And at the risk of sounding like I'm double-talking you, there are Strat necks that are thinner, fatter and the same as Teles and vice-versa. You are really going to have to play several Teles until you find a neck which works for you.

Yeah, there are several different variations of necks used by Fender. I seem to recall though that Tele necks are, by and large, bigger than strat necks. That's fine by me because I like the baseball bat-style neck, but some people don't.
