Vintage Strat

Vintage strat neck versus Modern strat Neck?
I tried some vintage reissue strats and a lone star strat and the vintage reissues were a bit harder to bend the strings. I know the only differences are the frets and the neck radius. I was told that the neck radius only causes fret out (which i didn't find), so is this true? And could the frets make a big difference in terms of bending the strings?
Thanks
Please Read the question as whoever just answered the question first wrote something that I never asked. Thanks....
Hi! The frets will make little difference, as compared to the fretboard radius. Imagine a very small radius, and how once you move the string slightly off-axis how it will contact the adjacent higher frets. If the fretboard had an infinity radius, you would never have to worry about any interference with other frets. Admittedly, bigger frets will allow for ease of "pushing" the strings; but really, it is just a matter of spatial relationships, no mystery involved! Best regards, Dana
