Yes, yes I am kidding. My other strats have a 7.25 and 9.5 radius. Also the stainless frets, are nice first guitar I have ever had with them.

Plays like a dream! Upper register wheedlie wheedlies and bends are just effortless compared to my other guitars. I may have missed my calling not having this neck before. I am too old to be cool anymore, and my level of playing is certainly not masterful enough to be relevant in a mature kinda...

Troubled treble can you post a pic of your strat withe the vintage trem?

This will blow your mind. A maple neck with a MAPLE board :o

I just ordered a new Fender American Special trem for 44 bucks. Vintage mount screw spacing and modern 2 1/16 string spacing. I am sure the Callham is great, but 165 is too high for me. Also, last eve, I did try the thinner saddles from and old Carvin bridge I had lying about and it doesn't...

After further review, the bridge spacing is just too wide for the neck. It just isn't going to work. I have done all I can to "improve things". The Callaham bridge is fairly spendy. Any other thoughts? If I have to I will drop $ 165 for one but that seems pretty steep.

Okay gentleman, I slighly filed the neck pocket and scootched the neck over a hair. I strung it fully and it seems this mostly fixed the trouble. However, the high e, and the low e still have to be shoved way to the inward side of their respective saddles. I guess I am just going to live with it...

Thank you all for the help. I have called and e-mailed Warmoth. Sales MGR supposed to get back to me they say. For fun here is a pic of my first guit an 82 Smith strat I bought new and a 60's closet classic cust shop strat and the warmoth for your enjoyment

Better quality pic( this is how far over the string has to be on the saddle to sit ok on the neck)

Here is a close up of the bridge/offending string pushed over to where it lines up ok on the fret board. I also do have a white switch tip lying about somewhere. I also knew 57 classics pole pieces would not line up but my other strats sound fine this way so that isn't my trouble. Just no way...

I unscrewed the neck and tried to adjust......no joy.

I can make the string line up ok by moving it all the way toward the inside but to do that it literally has to sit directly over the inside saddle height adjustment screw. The neck itself fits in the pocket right now perfectly like a glove, with out removing body wood I can't move it.

I am not sure of what "macro" on the camera means? Do you mean a full guitar pic?

Here are some pics

Thank you sir will do.
