I want to buy a Fender 62 Vintage Strat, but im not sure whether to get the normal or the hot Rod version?
It says the Hot Rod has Reverse Wound/Reverse Polarity Middle Pickup and im not sure what means in terms of the sound?
Also will the Hot Rods fat 'Fat C Shape 9"5 radius neck feel chunky compared to a 52 Reissue Tele?
Thanks
62 hot rod

I don't think that neck will feel too chunky at all. The 52 Hot Rod is a great neck, and is pretty fat in its own right. If you play a 52 Hot Rod Tele already, the adjustment to the C on the Strat should be easy. The Tele is a 9.5 radius just like the Strat, but is a U shape, so the depth of the necks are probably similar, just that the Tele juts out more roundly, and the Strat is more gradual.

RWRP is the normal strat sound, it makes positions 2 and 4 hum cancelling, and very hollow and quacky. The very earliest Strats were non RWRP, and vintage keenie-beanies say that's better, but these days RWRP is normal.
