@roge69charger I don't want any guitar on which I can't get exactly the kind of neck that I want... as opposed to what Gibson or Fender would like to cram down my throat. If a guitar isn't comfortable to play, nothing else matters. I have a 40 year old Les Paul Custom (it didn't cost that much when I bought it used back in the day.) I never play it because the neck isn't chunky enough and I no longer like fingerboards that flat (12" radius.) I'm no longer willing to compromise.
@Maafa1619 Tell what I like playing in Rock type guitars Gibson SG's. They feel just right. But, that's me. Plus, the Amp is a very important factor, just as the Pup's. But, I know you already know that. Take Care!
Well, I was also use to playing the original Hagstrom 1 from 1963, and adjusted to it. it was a real skinny neck, I'd notice my fingers use to over lap, but got the hang of it. I actually use to like the tele with the C Neck. You're correct different models and necks.
But, I'm safe with my main two instruments. my Gibson L4. Is perfect. And , My Custom Classical/Bossa Nova type guitar. I'm just use to aclimating to various guitars for so many yrs, My expertise is not on Rock guitars anyway.
@roge69charger It's a very thin neck. If you want to put up with that thing, go right ahead. I don't know what you mean by "the USA made." Different Fender Telecasters have necks of different sizes and necks. The only ones that I've played that had decent necks were the Nocaster and '52 Reissue models. However, I prefer a chunkier neck still i.e. the man sized Allparts Allparts TMNO-FAT. FYI, Gibson necks suck too.
@Maafa1619 I wear x-tra large gloves, I have Large hands, Play on a Custom made Classical Ramirez type guitar and Gibson L4. I have no probems what so ever on this model. Compared to the USA made. It's quite close.
I have one of these guitars, and I love it. But, my bridge pickup died dead. I replaced it with a Fender pup they use in the MIM tele's, It sounds better. This guitar is worth the money and more. Grab one. if the electronics are weak, that's a cheap fix. I replaced the switch (which some have had problems with also) with an all parts. I think it's gonna be around forever. Great guitars.
@bashfulbrother NEVER ! This is one of the best necks I've had on any of my guitars this neck has held up in all kinds of weather going from hot to cold and cold to Hot without ever having a problem...This neck has held up beter than my MIA Tele. I LOVE this neck and how Slick it is. Great Neck!!!
@dontommy069 I have the Butter scotch and those alnico V's SCREAM and I LOVE their NECK! NEVER had a problem with anything on this guitar and I LOVE the slick NECK more than my MIA Tele!

@Stevegio301 I totally agree, had a made in USA, It's just as good. And, I have large hands. No Problem.

If you like that neck, you must have tiny hands.
I threw the neck from mine in the garbage (actually it's in a box in the closet) and bought another one from Allparts.
