strat forearm contour

[dstroud]

anyone notice a difference in the forearm contour of different Fender strats? I've got 2 KNE strat bodies with very gradual forearm contour that are the best feeling ones I have. I've got an MIM strat that has a pretty abrupt slant. Some USA strats look like they are more gradual, but that's just in pics. Was wondering if anyone noticed a difference in the forearm contour from the less expensive to more expensive fender strats, or all they all different? tia!

The angle and radius and depth of the contour can differ.

wow cool, thanks for that! I guess there are quite a bit of differences!

The contour usually depends on how much the person building it feels like sanding that day.
