Interesting. These are Tele-style guitars, but note the fretboard radius of 350 mm (~13.75 inches). This is a good bit flatter than a standard Telecaster (~240 mm / 9.5 inches) and slightly flatter than the standard Gibson radius (~305 mm / 12 inches). To my mind, this is a good thing if you find the smaller Fender radius more difficult to play.(*)

I have a Tele-style Yamaha Pacifica (no longer manufactured) with a 13.75" radius, and it's a joy to play.

(*) Leo Fender apparently settled on the original 7.25" radius, later flattened to 9.5", because it made chords easier to play, especially near the nut, at the expense of bending. Bending notes on the smaller radius either leads to "fretting out" or requires a higher action to accommodate it.

Great deals, and a few other guitars are included as well.

Note about the "Offset" model - if you're after that one I recommend spending about $15 more for the "DLX Plus" offset model. That has the more authentic bridge/tailpiece that is a signature of that style guitar.

The Offset model in the first post has a standard bridge/tremolo, so it's more like a strat with funny pickups and a cool shape. Which is fine - but worth noting the difference if you're looking!

Well then, I'm here to help! How about the goldtop DLX Plus in mahogany with a maple top?

It also qualifies for the BIG25 discount, making it a relative bargain at $168.74 out the door.
