Round Strat neck pocket and square Tele neck pocket.

[EvilBatman]

I'm leaning towards nabbing a Warmoth V body and leaning towards USACG for the neck. My question is this: Is there any technical or practical benefit of choosing a rounded Strat neck pocket over a square Tele neck pocket? I can easily get the neck to match the chosen pocket and I would prefer going with the square pocket simply due to preferring the visual look of it.

Also, does anyone know of other body makers that make a traditional V bolt on body? I'm thinking Warmoth Switchback, but the offset body starts to tickle my OCD tendencies after a while.

I'm of the opinion the Tele neck pocket is more resistant to movement because it's more square.

Easier to swap necks later with strat style as you will have more options. If you are ok with tele headstock shape then that will be your choice if you decide to swap necks later
