Awesome guitar for the money. The neck is fantastic. 10/10
-
Brilliantly built, awesome semi-glazed neck, excellent width of neck, S-1 switch gives it a total of 6 different sounds, clean sound is brilliant - vibrant, snappy. I play indie music and it is excellent for it, cant rave about this guitar anymore, one downside it doesn't handle high levels of overdrive to well but i would say this baja could match an american but at half the price!

Pros
Just about everything!
Cons
Fender’s ‘deluxe’ gigbag is decidedly not so these days.
Verdict
The versatility and almost laughable price of the Classic Player Baja Telecaster make it an option that you’d be mad not to audition: an extremely likeable guitar.
