What are the necks like on the Vintera short scales? Are they all the same or do they vary between models? And how do they compare with other offsets that are currently produced by Fender/Squier?

I got one of the OTM Jaguars last year and posted about it in another thread. Love this guitar.

Looks like a good guitar! How does the neck compare to one on your friend's CIJ?

I've not had a chance to compare them side-by-side but from memory they feel quite similar. The CIJ neck is maybe a little nicer due to it feeling a bit more worn-in, but the reason I wanted a Vintera in the first place was because I loved that CIJ's ever-so-slightly chunky neck and 7.25" radius, and I think the Vintera fits the bill nicely in that sense.

Thank you! That was exactly what I was hoping to read!
Now I want it even more! 🙈
Any clue about the pickups? ”Vintage-style Jaguar Single Coils“ could be anything for me!
Any comparison to AV62s/AV65s?

The chunky neck...that's the only thing holding me back.
This guitar basically checks every box but I love the slim necks of mij Jag-Stangs or mustangs.

I wouldn't call it chunky exactly, just that it's chunkier than the neck on the Squier VM. Best thing to do would be try one in a shop if and when that's possible for you. I find the neck super comfortable, and I like thin necks generally.
