The 7-1/4" radius is the whole point of a vintage reissue, IMO. If you can't be comfy on one then it'll never be a player for you, just a collectible. Unless of course, you have it refretted to 9.5", but then, there are other vintage-modern Strats that are basically just that without need for mods (i.e. the RW EJ or the Gallagher)...
Good point. Those radii were in fact what many of us started out on....come to think of it, the older instrumentals that we played did not have the huge bends of much of today's stuff.... I guess the Les Paul board has "corrupted" my senses a bit. LOL!
