I have 2 x Stratocasters, a 2005 SRV and a 1997 62 AVRI . . . Whilst the neck on the SRV Strat is chunkier than the 62 AVRI its not quite the monster you'd believe it to be, in fact its a joy to play and Im not a guy with big hands. The 12" radius is a plus but even so, its such a comfy neck . . . The neck on my 62 AVRI is slimmer and has a vintage 7.25" radius but since I've had medium jumbo frets fitted by Steve it doesn't fret out whilst bending notes. Given a choice of both guitars I always pick up the SRV first.
Update . . . 17.04.18
Gas is so cruel, yes the SRV has a great neck, and yes the Texas Specials are amazing and the guitar is put together really wel and Ive wanted one for ages but . . . over the last two months I've really started to gas for a 57 AVRI Stratocaster . . Aaaaaarrrrgggghhh
