Well, it's almost 7:00am and the weekend wasn't too bad. According to UPS at 1:30am it was on a truck to the local hub, from there it will go out for delivery. UPS usually shows up between 4:00 and 7:00pm here, so I have a few hours yet.

The fretboard has a slight curve to it, the center is higher than the edges. Modern Fender's use a 9.5 radius and Gibson's use a flatter 12 radius. Vintage Fenders use a 7.25 radius. Supposedly the flatter the radius the easier and better sounding bends, the more curved radius is supposedly better for chord playing. |

The Fender Limtied Edition '68 Startocaster is only available Left-Handed. That is great for me cause I'm a Lefty. For whatever reason Fender USA is only importing the '68 Lefty into North America. Fender Japan has dozens of other MIJ models available for their domestic market. |
