Strat body round over...Curtis?

Does anyone know what the edge rounding for a vintage strat should be? I have an unfinished body with 3/8" edge round. It "feels" like it's a bit square shouldered - maybe it should be 1/2"

Cheers

I've been using 1/2" on my Fender-style roundovers. It looks and feels right to me.

I use 3/8 . . . 1/2 just seems too agressive for me. 3/8" also matches my MIM strat body. But who knows, I know early 50's strat bodies had more agressive cutaways than later years. Plus however it feels to you is what's important.

For me, 1/2" would've made a gap with my pickguard, so I had lots of reasons to do 3/8". Check your pickguard and any other bonafide fenders you may have around.

Done some more looking - both warmoth and musikraft seem to think fender standard is 1/2". Bugger...

Is this easy to correct?

You can go from 3/8" to 1/2" with no problem. You can't go back from 1/2".
