I often see people kinda diss stratocasters for being bolt-ons and having prett much everything loaded into a plastic pickguard. It always sounds very funny, the strat being one of the most successful desings in the history of musical instruments (no wonder they are still being played all around, being essentially the same instrument and still look futuristic and cool in 2019).
Among the pearls of popular wisdom is the misconception that "if the neck is screwed in place by four screws, any neck will fit" and "how can a kit guitar (wtf?!) be masterbuilt or premium?
Well, no need for Ouija boards to figure that Strat necks (or at least American made strat necks, which are finished by hand and adjusted to the strat they'll equip) aren't as interchangeable as people usually deem them.
As na example, John Mayer's main strat for 10 years was a John Cruz black strat. After lots of road wear, the neck got twisted, compromising a proper setup. John had Cruz make him a perfect replica neck, and yet he hated it. It just didn't feel like the old one, though it was made by the very same máster luthier as a 100% identical replica. He then put the old neck back on the guitar and still plays it as it is.
