I am definitely enamored with the shape (deep C-shape or U-shape) and more importantly, the thickness, of my STL50's neck. I haven't put calipers on my STL50's neck yet so I don't have exact numbers, but does Fender make anything similar?

Thanks!

EDIT: I've been reading this board so much for the past month that I didn't realize that this was my first post and I forgot to introduce myself:

Hello, everyone! I'm a gearhead (or "guitarded" as my wife would say) like most of us here and have far too many guitars compared to my ability to play them. As far as Teles are concerned, I have 2005 Fender American Deluxe and the 2009 SX STL50 mentioned above, and I hope to have Ron Kirn build be a Koa Custom later this year. My current guitar projects are stripping/reshaping/rebuilding the STL50, putting together my dream Strat partscaster (Mayer neck, AmStd body, Rumpel 55/62 pickups), and setting up my new Agile Harm 1 P90 semi-hollowbody. My current music projects include working my way through MI's Harmony & Theory and Blues You Can Use. I'm probably a bit different from most here in terms of musical taste - post-hardcore/indie/alt rock/blues and not much country (though I am warming up to Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw).

Anyways, howdy!

the SX necks you speak of to be much like the Fender Thinline Re-Issue necks and the Tele Deluxe Re-Issues(2 wide range buckers) especially the "U" shape used on the Deluxe.

Is the SX a U? I always thought of them as a chunky C. The Deluxe would be closer with the 12" radius but from my recollection neither has the jumbo frets of the SX. Another exception. Fender typically uses a one piece maple neck rather than the maple on maple design of the SX STL50.

Welcome, and you surely have NO hang ups with owning different T Style guitars..from Fender to SX and soon to be a Ron Kirn custom.

I applaud your taste and your musical knowledge..as for the Country side, try some more vintage Honky Tonk like Buck Owens..very fun to pick on a Tele.

Thanks for the warm welcome, guys, and hopefully I'll be able to check out those Re-Issues next time I'm at Guitar Showcase. Have a great weekend.

+1. Don Rich, Buck Owens' guitarist, was one of the true masters of the telecaster.
