'63 type bodies
However, they say that the radius is 7/16". I'm pretty sure it is supposed to be 1/2". But who is going to get upset over 1/16"? Better than Fender's 3/8" blocky looking bodies, imo

The price is right too.
I'd love to have a mahogany-bodied '63!

They have knotty and clear pine Tele bodies too!!!

I've never measured a body with any less than 1/2 radius.

I'm guessing that Stew-Mac intentionally left the radius slightly undersize to account for personal preferences in prep methods prior to applying a finish. Some light block sanding would likely produce a 1/2" radius rather quickly.

From the looks of it they got the front contour right at least.
I wish they would say 'an' original rather than 'the' original... as we all know, different people have different ideas as to what constitutes 'the' blueprint spec for a particular year...
Good point. I've seen a number of Strats from the early '60s that had very different body shapes from each other.
