The only solution is to find an AV 52 RI for the price of a Baja:





I've got a few of these AV 52 FSRs and a few of the Bajas; At M A P the Baja is better value for money. A lot of players are gonna find the 9.5 radius and the larger frets easier to play, aside from chords. Each set of pickups has a different reason for existing; the one you choose will depend on the sound you are after. My FSRs have stock Nocasters, not OVs, but I have 3 OV equipped guitars so I feel pretty familiar with them.

Many folks would be delighted with either guitar and if so, buy the best example of either you can get your hands on. Otherwise, choose the one that seems right to you. Neither is superior in any absolute sense.
