As another hardtail strat guy, that’s NICE! I actually really like the 7.25” fretboard radius, but I like it best with narrow tall frets. With vintage frets, the setup really has to be perfect to avoid fretting out on bends up the neck. But my roadworn tele has a 7.25” board with narrow tall frets and it’s the nicest playing electric I own or probably ever have...
