I've got a 2006 FSR red metalflake no pickguard MIM Strat I bought new on the advice of an old friend, even tho it is not visually my usual cup of tea. With the Callaham Block, trem bar and hardened screws (not the saddles yet) and gotoh 'kluson' nickel tuners, it is actually a very tasty sounding and playing lil guitar. I don't even know which pickups it has and it has only one tone control, but I prefer its sound to the vast majority of Strats I hear. Does body mounted pickups and no big frontal rout help, I suppose so.
Anyway, I was checking the thickness of the c type neck (no match for my Jimmie Vaughan) and the neck is .84 at the first, .87 at the twelfth.
Isn't this a small amount of taper? I'm used to .06 or a bit more. Ya'll see this often on Fender Strat necks?
Much obliged.

By the way, this Meguiar's Paint Cleaner has done a great job of transforming a satin almost salmony piece of maple covered in fine scratches into a quite glossy, almost MIM Classic quality poly neck finish, nice nice fretwork for MIM.
