Things I learned this weekend: the Vintera range marks the end of the road for the Baja tele, AKA the only affordable tele with a fat neck

Baja Tele is too big to disappear. I think they are putting it aside to bring it back with a pomp only a few years later to improve its current sales

I'll invite any of you haters to take the Pepsi challenge with my VINTAGE RADIUS jazzmaster, best neck in the game by miles, everything else feels like a Squier.

7.25� is my favourite but 9.5� is perfectly fine. Less keen on anything flatter tbh. Maybe I don’t bend shit up enough for it to matter but I’ve never really had an issue.

In my experience, cocaine = barely an inch, if you're lucky.

Rampant homophobia aside, I seriously doubt I could tell the difference between 10� and 9.5�.

Have they just re-named it? Switching etc looks the same.
Also available in Surf Green and Blonde.

I like 7.25 well enough, but for me it's the frets that make all the difference. Regardless of radius (or at least difference between 7.25 and 9.5). I like my frets like I like my hot dogs. Medium Jumbo. And fat.
