Hi everyone, I'm thinking of getting a 24 fret extension on the Stratocaster I'm building, but I don't know what the necks look like. My issue is, I know the 21 and 22 fret Stratocaster necks have a really nice curve on the high end, which really adds to the aesthetic of the guitar, but I don't know whether the 24 fret extension necks end in a curve or a straight line. Please post photos of 24 fret Warmoth Strats! Thanks.
 
Looks like it's squared off at the end.


See this example:

Looking at some mock-ups of 24 fret necks on the Warmoth site, we see some renderings like these, which implies they're square-ended...

But, then if you look through the Showcase, you see examples of actual necks like these 28" baritone scale necks...

and some 7/8 (24 3/4") scale necks

...but no other examples. So, you can't infer a ruleset from what's on display. If you want the curved end, it looks like you could just cut/file the end bit yourself. There's wood there to work with, and I doubt it would be too tough. I guess if it was me, I'd call to get a definitive answer.
