I own a Fender Malmsteen Strat. It is probably my favourite Strat and pretty much perfect as it is. I suppose you could go for things like locking tuners and a 22nd fret etc, and possibly a narrower spaced bridge, or a wider nut if that is what someone prefers, but I dig the Malmsteen for what...

The body blank with just a neck pocket would work, of course, you would have to measure and rout for your bridge and pickups etc.

With a fixed bridge, it will not make much difference. A similar break angle for tremolo equipped guitars is preferred.

Staggered aims to give a similar, closer to optimum break angle to all the strings.

I am saying it is not as straightforward as just putting on a different pre-cut fretboard.

Except, a fretboard is not slapped on. It would require a separate CNC program.

I would use the 2 point American Standard rout. Which dimensions are different on the body you have?

It's quite common to have to take care of where the wires are going, otherwise things will not fit. It can also happen on Strat types.
