So, I was sorting through my parts pile...

I love the look of a natural grain Strat. Usually they are 70's reissues, so they come with the oversized headstock, of which, I am no fan. I can't see your headstock, but I'm betting it's not oversized.

It's not...

I'm starting to consider trying a Strat/Tele neck in that scale.

I have a 24.75" tele and love it.

I have 2, one a Wizard profile and one their standard thin, both on strats...it's amazing how much of a difference that 3/4" makes to the feel for me...

Some people claim that the shorter scale alters the tone some but I either don't hear it or don't care...

I don't have a 25.5" scale to compare it with, but it sounds all tele to me.

What "they" say is the lower string tension takes some of the "snap" out of the tone...like I said, I don't hear it...

I was pricing the 24.75" necks earlier on Warmouth's site. They don't come cheap.

No, they do not...they do show up in the showcase from time to time, priced lower...it's worth checking on every few days or so...

I always go roasted maple, then you don't need finish.
