MIM neck sizes

I have been reading carefully, trying to glean the facts here...

Do you agree that the chunkiest MIM Telecaster neck is the Baja? If not, which one? I would like to find the MIM neck closest in feel to the AllParts TMO FAT.

Thanks a million!

The Baja, '72 Thinline, and '50s Classic necks are probably the biggest, but I don't think any of them are nearly as big as the TMO-FAT. I have a TMO-FAT and it's just HUGE.

I agree, the TMO-FAT is biggest. The only one remotely close is the Baja; all the others are enough smaller than the Baja you will know it. All the Reissue types come next, with the 60's Classic being the skinniest of those.

To add to what Boris said, while not Huge the MIM James Burton Std. has a 9.5 radius w/ Vintage frets, and is rather Chunky...and the 69RI has a lot of shoulder and U shaped (But has those funky stamped Schaller like tuners)..just a few more to stir in the Mix.

I have a 55RI that is chunky as hell. It's much bigger than the MIM ones. It's a CIJ one I picked up on Ebay.
