    I like that they went easy on the relicing. So many of them seem like massive overkill. Kinda surprised they used a 9.5" radius and jumbo frets. I wouldn't think of those as 50s specs. I'd certainly like them better than tiny frets and a 7.5", that's for sure. I'll be interested in hearing it!

    I like it, Robert. It has the quintessential vintage Strat look to it. Even better they crafted it with a modern radius. I owned one Strat that had a vintage radius and for my hands was tough to pull solos out of. I'd like to hear it but you's make a broom sound good. Congrats!
