The Frankenstrat replica has a compound radius neck I believe.
Is it feasible that for its time that this guitar would have had that?
I'd have had assumed it would have had a singular radius however i know its had a gazillion necks over the years.

It’s hard to imagine it has a compound radius back in the late 70’s,, but then again who knows?

Not sure the year of the neck that was on it.
The neck was made in early 80s I expect but can never be sure.
It was swapped a million times.
From the kramer beak to the hockeystick and back to the charvel headstock.

Who knows...

Wonder if it was a decision on Fenders part to do that.

Yea that thing has had a lot of different necks, I don’t get that guitar anyway,, I mean I really dig the clones people are doing on there own and the kits like the one DB has so people can build them, but to pay fender 25grand for a beat up pile of scratched and rusty parts. I just don’t get it?
