Question for those who have one of the Traditional Jags, how chunky is the neck on these? I've read the comments stating it's a fat neck, but how much compared to other offsets? As chunky as the Mascis JM? I don't really like super thin necks, but really chunky baseball bat necks aren't my thing either. So I'm wondering if a thick U-shaped neck would be good for me.

It’s certainly a handful. It’s also 9.5 radius and pretty narrow at the nut. Last guitar I bought before this is a vintera mustang and it now feels like a toy to play ;)
I also have an Ed O’Brien strat with a V neck and the Jaguar feels bigger than that - also quite a bit bigger than my Jazzmaster which is a cij from about 15 years ago.

It’s a fantastically made guitar though and I’m not regretting buying it blind.
