Nice light guitar (just under 7lb) with a fairly big neck, and a chunky ashtray bridge that makes the US made ones look like a child's first attempt in metalwork! here's a gratuitous photo of my using mine at the end of last year
With so many comparison web sites out there, how do I choose the best one?
I always liked the look of the JD Teles. I even got Fender to send me a wiring diagram (on paper, in those pre-internet days).
Just wondering now, what's the fingerboard radius and how big are the frets?
The frets on my JD were levelled off when I bought it 2nd hand (lower in the middle than the edges, for some strange reason), so I've no idea what profile they were originally but they look like your regular vintage frets I guess...

Seeing as a re-fret would have cost me as much as I paid for the guitar I just left it, but the 'slinky feel' hasn't really bothered me to be honest.

Is the V neck chunkier than say a MIM Classic 50’s?
They are Basswood, and no, the neck is not any chunkier than a 50's classic. It's a typical '52 Tele V shaped neck (I've owned about 6 over the years), and IMO nowadays they are unjustly overpriced.
