Trying to Make an Accurate Model of a Stratocaster
I'm refining a 3D model of a Fender Stratocaster and I have a question about the way the neck is configured. I don't know much about electric guitars (I play classical), although, after a visit to fender.com, I'm learning fast. On the model, the top level of the neck is slightly straighter than underneath -- well, it's hard to describe succinctly, so here's a picture:

Was the original modeler just sloppy (they were with some other parts), or is this for real?

From that diagram, it doesn't look like there is any difference in rake - it looks simply like you have not centred the neck correctly in your image.

While string lengths will all be slightly different, for intonation, as far as a standard neck goes, treat them all as identical length. The neck just has a taper.
