Awesome Guitar
I've wanted to get a '52 Reissue because I love the vintage stuff and especially that fat neck. It was just to much money though, then I saw the Baja Tele, and I fell in love, the neck is very similar and rits my hand perfectly, its got all the vintage stuff and the bridge pickup is nice and twangy, its perfect, I play mostly in the bridge position but with all the upgraded electronics you can mess around and get all sorts of nice tones in the neck position. I play mine through a Fender Blues Junior amp and sometimes with a Phase shifter and it sounds great, I go for that Waylon Jennings sound and I feel like I can pretty much get it with this guitar, now I just need to up my skills to match this great guitar and get that great sound.

I mostly just play and jam at the house now. But if I were gigging again, this would be my number one easily over my Les Paul standard. Neck takes a minute to get used to. It's beefy but not bad at all. Tone is huge and it just blows me away. Packaging was good. Everything was good right out of the box. I want another one of these. I got the blonde btw. Oh, a couple spots with light buzz. But that's any new guitar. Nothing a little tweek can't fix.
A great guitar at a reasonable price

This has quickly become my guitar of choice. I have 4 other nice electrics (G&L Legacy and ASAT Tributes, D'Angelico DC, Custom Strat) but this is the one I play the most without question. It is extremely versatile. The 4 way switch gives you Neck Only, Bridge Only, Both Neck and Bridge in Series and both Neck and Bridge in Parallel. The extra one is much fatter sounding that the others. The S1 switching allows you to change in/out phase along with the 4 selector options. This gives you 8 different options. Each has a unique sound that is useful. I have never played an American Tele that I like better than the Baja. Fender should have charged much more for this guitar.
Looking for that vintage tele sound? Look no further!

I bought this guitar about 4 months ago and I've been loving it ever since! Huge variety of tones! 4 way tone switch equipped with an out of phase s1 switch for all positions except the bridge, giving you not only that classic broadcaster tele sound but also tones I never expected to come out of a tele. Only thing I would change about this guitar are the medium jumbo frets.
GREAT TELE!!!!!

Great Tele sounds out this well made beauty! Custom Shop-inspired and well constructed. I also own a 2005 Fender vintage 52 Telecaster and the Baja plays and feels ever bit as good! The Custom Shop 'Twisted Tele' pickup at the neck and a Custom Shop Broadcaster single-coil at the bridge offer great tones and with the added 4 way switch you can even get a nice humbucker sound out of position 4. Plus you also has the expanded S-1 options which gives the out of phase options. Really cool sound in position 4 again like a out of phase humbucker guitar played in the middle position (think Peter Green tone). I my humble opinion the best bang for buck Telecaster on the market today!
Best guitar I've ever played

Words cant describe this guitar, and its inexpensive. I've wasted thousands over the yeas trying to get the right tone live or otherwise until I picked up the telecaster. Does everything. Plays any kind of music. I even play classical with it. 10 times more comfortable than any acoustic made and the tone makes them all sound sick. If you've been struggling to find an instrument to play live that is comfortable, great tone, and cheap. Buy a tele. No more hollow shoe box sound of the $4000 acoustics with arm kicked out all night. But if your budget is lower; buy a fender squire affinity tele. They are absolutely awesome as well. Take whichever one you buy to a tech and have it set up and or change the stock bridge to a stew mac compensated bridge (Squire comes with one) Need acoustic tone live??? Role back the tone knob 1/4 inch and use a soft pick or buy a boss acoustic pedal or maybe your amp has an acoustic simulator setting already.
