Are all Fender neck pockets the same?

Most everyone makes neck pockets that are 5/8″ or . 625″ deep except Fender. Back in the day Fender did use a 5/8″ deep neck pocket but they don’t anymore and that is important, at least on current Teles and Strats since 1996, and maybe more from my measurements. But you can’t be sure every Fender model is the same.

Is a Strat or Les Paul easier to play?

A Les Paul has lower string tension when compared to a Strat with the same gauge strings. This makes a Les Paul easier to play. An easy way to deal with the longer scale length of a Strat is to use lighter gauge strings. Lighter gauge strings reduce string tension, which makes the Strat easier to play.
