For your viewing pleasure here is an example of a Fender Custom Shop 56 Heavy Relic Stratocaster, this one as 6105 frets and 9.5″ radius for improved playability over vintage necks. The necks thickness is close to 1″ at the 12th fret, yet it is surprisingly comfortable and the resonance from the added mass is to die for.

Fender just did a limited run of 500 pieces of the John Mayer Stratocaster with specs similar to reliced Strat John Mayer plays on stage.

Among the goodies are a black finish for the body, all gold hardware, white pearl Schaller tuners, and a newly designed InCase gig bag. A Custom Shop Relic version is in the works, however that one is in a whole different price range.

This Strat is essentially a 60s-style Stratocaster with special tuners, 6105 frets, and flatter 9.5″ radius for improved playability.
