is there any rhyme or reasoning behind Fenders design and use of different Strat bodies, some are 1/5" thick while others are 1.75 and thicker.

and weights can go from 5lbs to 8.5lbs..

was there ever a norma set that certain deminsions would be used for different models or price points, I notice my mim seem to be thicker and much heavier than my American, but yet my squier is only 6lbs and skinny..

Hey, aren't you that forumite who ripped a bunch of people off on this and other forums selling/trading gear? Or is that a different "indianscout"?

[lndianScout]

this has to do with fender body widths in which way?

please try to stay on topic..

Yeah, I remembered there was some history here and now that you mention it, yes, I remember some members having bad deals warnings listed in their sigs... 

Oh, and no idea about the strat thickness variance - consistency sure would make aftermarket trems and blocks easier to spec.

Uh-oh. Here come the unbanned. De-banned? Unbanninated? Reinstated?

Whatever. 

Different body woods will contribute somewhat to weight, and maybe the heavier woods are made thinner to compensate? Just a guess.

More variety means more reasons for consumers to build a collection.

I recently purchased an affinity squier and wanted to do a neck upgrade the pocket measurements was all correct but once I got the neck off I noticed how thin it was, so I measured it against my MIM strat..

huge difference..

Man, if this is *the* IndianScout then I'm amazed he'd show his virtual face.

Wow.

[GreatDane]

Its him. Click on his ID and see all the old posts associated with his nonsense.

[lndianScout]

it's not hard to show your face when you were completely cleared of any wrong doing, but then I guess that doesn't matter to a bunch of forum lawyers..

but can we stay on topic please

The cheaper the strat, the thinner the body. Generally speaking.  While a few of the cheapies such as the Squier SE Strat has a "regular" thickness body, most of the lower end Squiers have thin ones.  None of the USA  or even the Mexican ones have thin bodies for what it's worth.

I missed the part where IndianScout got *completely cleared* of any wrongdoing. Can someone link me to it? I do remember a lot of good forumites getting jerked around, deceived and ripped off by him though. Its all pretty well-documented in the posts associated with him. IIRC, he even got banned.

[lndianScout]

if you're looking for a date or something, you're going about it the wrong way, try a little kindess it goes much further..

Do you have any gear you want to sell?

[lndianScout]

no actually I'm looking for a set of bugandy / blue / silver lace sensors for my strat if you happen to have any.

Seriously... That's about as dumb as wondering why his Affinity Strat is thinner than other Strats and thinking this means ALL Strats vary.

[larryguitar]

Well, let's see...are you your 'son' again this time, posting with dad's account to move some gear while dad's sick. Or is your wife sick, or are  you doing indian tobbacco rituals over guitars you're selling?

Really, you want to stay on topic? Fine.

I don't. I want to make sure nobody here forgets that you're a liar, and about as trustworthy as a $3 stepladder. And that's the topic I'll be staying on.

I think management has co opted banned accounts to stir shit and create traffic.

It's working.

But instill can't post a pic
