I have a several different guitars. Not all guitars have the same width, thickness of necks. For example, Gibson necks feel like you're holding a baseball bat in my opinion, however, I have guitar with a Peavey Tracer neck that is nice a thin. Love that neck. Go and check out other Squires, they are probably the same as your neck. I'd also be interested in knowing how much different a Squire neck is from a Fender Strat.
