Squier Strat

KP Willits · 10-20-2008, 06:49 PM

I know I am going to get laughed at here, but I bought a Squier Standard Strat last month because I wanted something inexpensive in a single coil to mess around with. My question is does anyone know the fingerboard radius as I would really like to replace the nut and need to know. Also looking to putting some GFS pups in with Alpha pots, a Switchcraft jack, new 5 way switch and pop some Orange Drops in. I would appreciate some good info.

Thanks

What year Standard? I think its a 9.5 inch radius.

Ask Skynyrdpicker about the GFS pups, his Xaviere Strat has the vintage setup... I was thinking about these for my MIM:

Pretty sure it is an 08. Got it new at GC last month.

Yeah, looks like a 9.5 inch.

EDIT: I was talking about my MIM having a 12 inch radius and my Affinity having a 9.5 inch, but it seems in 01 the Deluxe MIM had the 9.5 inch neck.

No wonder I couldn't feel the difference.

DJ you are a gentleman and a scholar. Is the new baby keeping you up nights?
