Just by way of a thought on fret wear - I have a couple of guitars with original Fender 7 1/4 inch radius fingerboards that have had the frets finished flatter. The fretwork is (or was?) a pretty standard trick; mine are most-excellent set-ups done by Bill Puplett and have lasted for years, but they look completely shot-away if you sight the neck. Come to that, I've also seen guitars finished with necks that flatten as you move-up the frets (compound radius) and even twisted necks that are designed to follow the way your wrists align as you move-up the neck - not on Jap Strats admittedly but they're out there.
