If Dale has really given' the truss a good tightening, the only thing that I can
think of that is causing the issue with the 13's on the Highway 1 Strat is that
the truss may not have been installed enough towards the back of the neck. Thus
it would not be able to counter-act the pull of the heavy strings. If this is
the case, over time even the 10's will bow the neck. I've had no prob with 13's
on three recent Mexi-Strats so I don't think it's a case of not makin' 'em like
they use to.

Really? I would've thought that pretty much any
Standard Strat or better could handle 13's. Have you
tried putting strings that heavy on any other late
model Strat? I'm about to try 12's on my Yamaha.
