a standard strat is 1.75 inches thick
a squier is generaly 1.5.
i have just build a guitar from scratch, and now that i have everything put togethor, i have realised that my body is actually 1.5 inches.
It is one piece ash, and it was supposed to be the perfect guitar.
I just wondered what effect you thought this reduced thickness would have.
imagine shaving 1/4 inch off the back of ur strats, how would it sound different?

It seems to me that aside from having a guitar which was easier on your shoulders, the only difference would be almost inperceptibly decreased sustain. Considering that Strats, with their jangly, lightweight, free-floating trems, aren't monsters of sustain in the first place, I think all you have on your hands is a nice, light guitar. Nothing to fret over in any case, -especially- if you're happy with the sound.
That's all IMHO, anyway. =)
