What is the radius of a early 80's SQ Squire series

This the Japenese Squire model right after the JV series(the "exact" knockoffs) and I think are probably as good except they changed the headstock to the early 70's variety and used the 3 bolt neck. All so they would not compete with the American inferior guitars and keep the buyers who preferred the look of the original to a superior guitar, as who would want that ugly 70's look, admittedly not the prettiest Fender.

But I think the overall guitar(wood, neck, quality control) hadn't changed from the very highly regarded JV which did not have the alterations.
Mine is a great guitar(Strat) but wondering what the radius is? It sure doen't play like a 7 3/4" but my guess is that it is. Thanks.

Anyone else have one of the SQ Strats or Teles?

I have a Squier Strat from late-'82 (it was my first decent electric guitar; I got it for Christmas!) with the large '70s-style headstock and bullet truss rod end. The radius is definitely 7.25".

Oddly enough, it's my only electric I don't have pictures of; I'll have to remedy that! :wink:
