NOTICE GLOBAL

I bought this new guitar (dmo, so very good price compared to new, what I'm going forward was clear from the beginning) because like many people, I permit charm by the characteristics of the beautiful, I possde a model with white cream pickguard. This Telecaster was a terrible passion, no less than five of my knowledge have also!

And it is this passion that I would come dposer a BMOL: Fender possde a strong marketing team to sell to the "custom shop" Mexican guitars unworthy of the name as their heads displayed.

So yes, the Baja's beautiful, color, maple key, the bridge 3 brass saddles like the old days, it has everything a great ... but was still expensive for what it is.

I blame him (less than the 5 best essays in addition to the mine are also the result of an unfortunate accident ...)

Approximate _CONTRACT MANUFACTURING: we see the dboucher dfonce for micro cot easel easel precisely
_frettage typical production Fender Mexico: fret not at the same level, difficult to hold a sustain at a bend, he finds himself very quickly smothered by too high fret. And what about the extrmit cuts frets grinder with too much angle towards the key ... Nothing new for 650 on average, they are silent and goes his way.
_The Micros "custom shop" ...: stews. It will explain how noticeable sound difference from those of the spare standard telecaster mexico ...
_the violin: not one of the one I tried (mine included) only offered a sound branch dgueulasse but tasteless, depth is plaplat. Let him bnfice of the doubt with the years that can possibly make it evolve, personally I doubt if the wood is not good base, it does not improve with time ...dropoff window

The rest? she has the mouth unquestionably but remains a Mexican, it's for me unworthy of Fender cot finishing ...

Choose a guitar leaves the quality of wood / electro not cavorting, no photo, the Squier Classic Vibe wins hands down. Obviously Fender Japanese production is substantially higher, but prices too. Though.

And if you find this hard on telecaster everybody loves me (me too after dozens of upgrades and planimtrie uros, after, after only one has a mean guitar range in the hands - so it falls to me to new prices, while I had a spcial price ...), make a sound real comparative / finish with one that still has the "sub-brand."

I heard there is little the buyer (seller even thundered in him ...) of a Precision Bass Mex said in a store "any fawn Mexican are the same as the USA, Fender USA sends mexico woods and its specifications, and as it is a neighboring country Fender US Contrle maintain continuous production and is seen, it is much better than the m *** Asian art. "
In voil one that fantsme lot and certainly not tried much other than Fender Mexico ...

Fender mexico is bogus for the price, but then a point ... Oh yes. Epiphone Les Paul and it is not nearly the same thing: a trade policy coronation ...

Needless to developed caractéristiques.Mexique, 21 frets, ash, maple etc ...

Regarding the frets, they are not covered with varnish to me as I read sometimes stinks, and the level of aesthetics anything reported. I noticed reading the reviews on this guitar that everyone has not quite the same wood through the paint for me is seeing a lot of the wood grain, I would love a little less good but it ' is a detail.
When I have a new guitar I have control maximum points so as not to be disappointed with the result so I partially disassembled to take a look under the hood and possibly made some alterations if necessary. The lifts are the taff but we'll see in the long term. When the handle is in its very beautiful.
The electronics against seems a little chip that's a bit crap.

Overall this is good because the only thing that is possibly fishing electronics and this is what is the easiest (and cheapest) to changer.c is just a visual impression because I was not identify any suspicious sound (crack) use so for now everything is correct we are in a good copy telecaster us.

UTILIZATION

the handle is really excellent. This soft V profile has surprised me comfort because I thought (in twisted) this profile going to be awkward because of its size and that it is contrary forme.Au me better than C different from my other guitars and so on that's a really good surprise. Like what nothing is worth trying.
The profile of the body is not so bad as you might think (compared to the stratosphere).
I think access to very decent treble.
the acoustic sound is really not bad. the sound is brilliant even when the strings start to vibrate well ternir.La guitar handy sustain is not ridiculous at all despite a system of bridges that I find archaic.

SOUNDS

His side I'm glad this is not the sound of an authentic telecaster 52 ... but at the same time is not what I think of buying when I took this baja. I wanted a typed his telecaster and that's it.
All positions are nice, however, the S1 is not my cup of tea. It is not really useful, the four basic positions are more than enough for me.
On my amp shop type fender is great that "twang" well and when I push the overdrive is really nice.

OVERALL OPINION

So initially I wanted a telecaster but it was not essential to me so I expected to be pretty hard to judge its qualities and defects. And in the end I have to admit it is really well done, it is very playable and it sounds bien.et bonus it was not too bad set of origin. I patched the 1/4 turn of the screw trusraod and retouched a chouillat the bridges.

The only downside in my opinion is the electronics. s1 is not useful and is a bit of background noise (buzz) but hey it fits well in mind. I will change all that may be in the future for something more simple and classic.

I think it is worth its price, neither more nor less. I do not think this is the deal of the century but not a scam.

I still allows a small note, there may be large differences of a model to another (live in mass production :-/) to you to be vigilant.

Handle very special round, with a very slight V and a touch a little narrower than average (just over 41mm at nut). The pickups are supposed to be custom shop, at that price, it would be amazing. 4 position selector switch S + a-1. All combinations may not be interesting depending on the amp. And whatever the amp to the vintage hi-gain, one of the positions you will always get away. 3 vintage bridge saddles, not easy for the correctness, but essential to the sound.

Mechanics do their job, I still up-grader with schaller and fire & stone (yes, I like it so much that I bought two!). Unlike many publicity photos, varnish body is not nearly as translucent, one can distinguish the grain slightly, but it will be difficult to identify the number of pieces of ash body (it is 600 balls, I'm not done no illusions). Sensations are not as finishing a guitar top 1200/1500 euros, but frankly, I have nothing wrong with my Blonde provided. And since you mention: this is the first Tele Blonde accessible to (almost) all, much less expensive than ri52. And look blonde, even if you do not like the look tele, we must recognize that it has the mouth!

UTILIZATION

So ... the handle will not please everyone, far from it. That said, those who are moving towards Telecaster expect to have a grip vintage, or at least enough away from the spirit Ibanez. However, this small vee not please everyone. Specificity: 41 mm at the nut, against 42/43 in other models of trade, including Fender. There are only offering this Music Man. This gives grip in mind baseball bat sought by Leo.

4 position selector déroutera regulars, but for others, no worries. Only the s-1 switch (phase inversion) leave doubtful. It only makes sense with some very high-gain amps. Access to acute is far from what it does best, but this is the price to pay on a Tele. I noticed a problem systematically knob (with the switch for that matter), which moves in the game, and is therefore not always possible. It will tighten a bit.

For sound, the Telecaster was LE from the grip, even unplugged it twang ...

SOUNDS

This guitar is what you can expect better from a Telecaster, with vintage sound but hot-lapped rather supercharged. For rock, it is. But if you type in blues rock, country, well then, it becomes downright nasty! When I fell for this guitar, I was in full freak Brad Paisley (album "Play") and Hellecasters, and this model was what stuck to my best expectations, these sounds rock / blues modern tinged twang to the former. Some U.S. models could perhaps do better? I have not found too biting RI52 (52 by the hotrod against), but it corresponded more to my criteria rather sharp comfort. And then it stuck to my budget.

It has beautiful sound with excellent microphones provided by desperadoes in fender. Change microphone is not mandatory. I tried the Kinman set, and I dropped, Lekit home made better. I turned to a kit Engine Pickups (handmade Valenciennes Dussenne by Jerome, who also produces micro Aymeric Silvert signature) with a VT0 ... the even better: more accurate, balanced, not aggressive ... to tell you, I play micro bridge solo in a Marshall JCM800 with the distortion on edge ... try it with another Telecaster and you will leave your skin! There, he moves into the mix almost like a humbucker, but 100% single coil sounding. The Broadcaster's vintage ... Even harmonics out with ease. I highly recommend it, especially the micro bridge.

OVERALL OPINION

Basically, this interested me for his Tele handle unusual and I envisioned a bunch of upgrades. 2 weeks répéts and a concert later ... I am going to seek a second (more with a clearance, so for a lower price), history of Baja still retain more or less "stock".
I've always loved the mouths of Telecasters, never found one that suited me so far. So much so, that I got a guitar one day, who looked (vaguely) a Butterscotch Blonde. In this case a Music Man Axis Sport (first model with pickguard). Since then I have had 5 other of the same model (and kept it from 2), a Music Man EVH, and makes a model maker on this basis. I had a lot of Strat (Fender, Schecter, Music Man Luke II, Blade), a PRS, of Gibson (Les Paul Standard, Gary Moore Signature - the real one, not the BFG) Bacchus, and often of old vintage loan quality (Gibson L Series Strat). But one day I declared that I do not ever buy a guitar over 1,500 euros (the price of my Music Man 10 years ago), saying they had a guitar pro at this rate without fear of do a scratch lowering its value. And there was amazing value for money (to wonder if the guys at Fender did not become crazy).

In this case, the first concert my first Baja, my number one spent 90% of his gig on stand ... I really completely cracked on this guitar, its sound, its comfort, its mouth ... It did not become my number one, but in my main group, it is an essential part of his soul and even some songs whose riffs twanguy out of them.

I know it is in the absolute face a vintage or custom shop, but for the price amazing, I'll put a note overall opinion I have put only once (for my number one, of course), ie 10/10. Whatever she feels rather than tapas Sake or hamburgers. It sounds like I wanted, the rest is conjecture. I did upgrade the pickups, but frankly, I could do without! Valeure a safe, it will remain as a reference.

If you are looking for a Tele sounds noisy, grunge or whatnot, I'm not sure whether it is the best choice. If you are looking Telecaster that sounds like Telecasters specialists of this legendary scratch, then this is the best value for money that is unbeatable. This is the second time (only) that I stick a 10/10 to scratching. You hate it or you love literally. For me, it is seen!

I will not detail everything about this model already very well commented below and I agree with almost everything that has been said ... as for me I would add some interesting elements and I speak as an expert.
Stories about the varnish running down the frets are possible, but then it is not luck ... ditto for misalignment of strings ... But I have no problem.
Certainly the very thick paint could hide a few noble wood .. but it remains hypothetical and it's still ash, believe me it sounds good as ash, clarity and resonance of the body.
The type of microphones mounted is excellent ..
the plastic nut is nil string "tilt" in the turns of mechanics.
21 frets, he'll miss a shame .. but we will not cry ..

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice and a little thinner than a les paul gibson.L access to acute is not thought of as futuristic, strings of 1.4 mm 12th fret in case ie very low level of its action , and no borders. Super ...
A significant problem is the good performance of the agreement after pulling your strings .. it does not matter since you have to replace the nut with a Tusq more slippery (same for bridges)
3 Pontets type "barrel" unhelpful to fine-tune the intonation.

SOUNDS

The baja has a wide range of sounds and by its selector button S1 there are 7 different voices.
Fender, the S1 button has the same function on a stratocaster for example it may simply puts a microphone into a microphone type double at the sound color ... Here on the S1 provides telecaster sound colors a little nasal, (as if a wha wha pedal was engaged to set path or if you hear a guitar on the phone). It's cute inspiring and keeps a very grain oldies ..
This guitar sounds very 50 and she has a real authenticity.
Aggressiveness heat gently, for the funk, blues rock .. jazz .. we find happiness.

Regarding the insulation, it is true that stray a little but it is bearable; as a gentleman can always lower the volume, the knob is also used to it.

OVERALL OPINION

I may be the lucky fender in Mexico, but I must admit it sounds very well and this baja.
A guitar is a meeting, it is true, but we must also know that some of the same series guitar can sound more or less ..
I have a U.S. deluxe, but this is well worth a baja American is sur.Il just need to pass the course psychological "Made in Mexico ..", it is a vast history linked to Mexican workers do not realize mondialisation.les not fender pasteboard, far away. The classic player series is one of the best Mexican production. So far, I've read somewhere that the quality of fender baja deteriorated after 2007.

"Big" handle, I love playing with sleeves of this type.
Positions 2x4 pickups
An adjustable tone and volume.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice, great shape reminds of the old school telecaster blues or Rock Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Relatively easy access to acute, with a sound and accurate disticnt

SOUNDS

I use both in Blues Rock (Slide bottleneck)
Its 6 Positions of microphones offered him a high range of sounds
I play with a Fender Blues Deluxe and a Fender Twin Reverb, as saying that it's magic ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since the end of 2011, I tried the American Special Telecaster before buying that one, but I chose this one because it is more versatile.
The Amercian special grows much more extreme level position in microphones (Serious too serious to my taste, too much treble treble)
Excellent value for money! For 630 euros, you ride Fender with all the guarantees that come with it!
I love everything about this guitar!

Bought this a Hesse Music in Johnson City, NY about 8 years ago. With a small 15 watt amp it was about $400.00.

Love the sound of a tele, the feel of the neck is good, not top heavey. Easy to play with the small narrow neck.

On the original there was a staic sound coming through the pick gaurd and was very annoying. After taking it to many shops no one could produce the sound but me. I sheilded the pick gaurd and even rplaced the old one with a celenoid pick gaurd with sheilding. Then after talking to an einginer at the TV station I worked at said to ground the bridge pickup. Now it really cooks except for the noise in the selector switch. With that I use some tuner cleaner evry once in a while and that works for me.

Vary solid body with the old paint because it was painted in Mexico. You can't use that kind of paint in the USA so it has a nice blue matalic paint job. I replaced the original pick gaurd, added copper sheilding, and grounded the bridge pickup. This should have been done at the factory.

Bottomline is that if you want a Tele don't just get a Fender look around. There are many good guitars around that look like a Tele but are finished guitars from a factory and not the unfinished guitar I bought from Fender at a shop.

I went to a local store to BUY the new 52
re-issue tele. I've owned a few "Vintage"
Strats and Telecasters, and I know how they
sound and feel. Beter still, I know how they're
NOT supposed to feel!

Well, I played the 52 for a bit, and while waiting
for the salesman to take it and put it back in a secure
spot I set it into a stand that had previously been occupied
by a $230 USED Mexican Tele.

Hey, who could resist a head to head, side by side comparison???

Not me!

I gotta tell you, shock is a mild expression for my
impression of that little sunburst beauty.

The feel was excellent, and the sound was just what I expected a
tele to sound like... I bought it.

The salesman wasn't the least bit surprised...








Fit, finish, feel and sound... all excellent.


Not a durn thing... Well, I'll be a bit ashamed
at what I paid for it... $200 plus tax.

Outstanding, as good as any Fender I've owned,
and better than some.




Don't hesitate a second to buy one if you're on
a budget. Even if you're NOT on a budget,
they make sense... that is unless you have a problem
with NAFTA

Rates a 5!

UTILIZATION

This is a nice Tele! My favorite guitar that Fender ever introduced is the Telecaster, and a good Tele is one to hold on to. I read somewhere a quote from an ex-Fender employee that worked with the company in the very early years. The quote said something like "We all knew Leo's first design was his best, but nobody had the heart to tell him." I agree with this statement. The Telecaster is one of the simplest, yet most solid guitars around, offering rock-solid tuning stability, crystal clarity, and excellent playability. This Baja Classic Player Tele is no exception. It offers everything that a great Tele should have...

SOUNDS

...however, Fender did one thing I'm not a fan of on this guitar. They included the S-1 switching system, which allows 6 different sounds total. Usually, I am all about that kind of variety, but these extra sounds aren't really that different from the originals. I like the original 3 tones of a Tele better than the additional tones here, to be honest. In trying out this guitar, I checked out all of the settings, and I never went back to the newer S-1 sounds. I feel like it's a waste of electronics, and just overly complicates the guitar. It's by no means a space-age guitar, but if one had to make a simple soldering adjustment, that extra switch could throw them off, and I don't think the quality of the extra sounds justify adding more circuitry that could potentially fail.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall, this guitar is a winner. But the S-1 switching is unnecessary bulk that just raises the price of the guitar. I'd rather pay $50-100 less for the same guitar minus the S-1. It really is a good axe, it just doesn't need this fancy switching. It's a Tele!

Everything has been said here, so I pass.

UTILIZATION

Very resonant vacuum surprisingly well! It's really good slap.
The handle is also very nice, it's really big but less than my Les Paul '58 Reissue.
Its profile is very nice, it seems that it is a soft V, but I do not like that I think we would say V over a large C or a D.
It's been a little Gibson, what, I like it!
The radius of 9.5 "is really top, I do not like a radius more pronounced.
The bends going well.

The finish is correct, as the adjustment. The junction body / neck is well made.
The mechanics do the job, but we feel that it is not of great quality.
The pickguard is too thick, ugly and seen up close.
The switch S1 is a bit shoddy.

The system S1 cons, I am puzzled, as the 4-position switch. For my use, I do not see the interest.
It changes a little, and it changes it into less, so why bother?
It is not impossible that I should just jump and replace it with a 3-position selector knobs and two standard 250k.

SOUNDS

The neck pickup is very good, it is not common on the Telecaster.

The micro bridge, "CS Broadcaster", however I was surprised. Middy enough, it is closer to a P90 (less powerful) than a conventional micro Telecaster. The famous sound of ice pick Telecaster held by some, well, this microphone is completely free.
It is located on the upper midrange, which is that it produces a nice crunch KERRRRANG. However, I was looking for a sound to Steve Cropper, I have a bit of my hunger, I miss some slamming.
This is not the guitar that is in question because in vacuum, this is really slamming.

In fact, we feel that this guitar was designed rather to play in crunch sounds that sounds clean. For stonesiens riffs, it sends severe!
Even for sounds at the ACDC with Marshall type sound, it does.

But it is less in the world of the Telecaster country / twangy / Chick'n picking, with this choice of microphones.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall: fans of the Stones and Black Crowes and even the Reverend Gibbons, this guitar is for you!
Fans of Danny Gatton and Albert Lee, it may need to turn to something else, or change the micro bridge.

It's a good guitar, solid, not exceptional (I compare with my Suhr Classic S and it is not the same world, but the same price either) but that really does the job.

Price / quality ratio: excellent. In time, it becomes downright theft.

It's a Fender Mexican (up Submitted plutt has made me fly!) Is the classic SERIES player, whose finish is excellent: good rglage, coupling sleeve and perfect body , stick a pice covered with a beautiful and comfortable varnish, visible body made up of little pice (translucent lacquer of my vintage blonde can be seen).

The microphone configuration which I have not really been around is as follows, two custom shop (it's not marketing, there are REALLY on the REFERENCE MODELS custom shop 2000 / Euro 3000 is an asset of the Baja):

4-Position Blade Switch and 2-Position Push / Push S-1:
S-1 Switch Up:
Position 1. Bridge Pickup
Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups (In Parallel)
Position 3. Neck Pickup (Standard Tele)
Position 4. Neck and Bridge Pickups (In Series) (Fatter Tone Than Position 2. And More Output Than Position 1., 2., Or 3.)
S-1 Switch Down:
Position 1. Bridge Pickup
Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups (In Parallel)-Out of Phase
Position 3. Neck Pickup (Standard Tele)
Position 4. Neck and Bridge Pickups (In Series) Out of Phase

Drout is a bit to end up with an electronic as flexible on a tele (8 sounds!). They are exploitable and e in the spirit Fender.

The handle has a V-shaped shallow enough I find it perfect, as comfortable as on my Start Plus Deluxe.
The bridge is one of the original rplique (50/60 's), I have a priori on the DJ because I had two American Series with the reliable bridge bridges indpendant 6. For now I have not noticed any default (it is perfectly rgl.

Finally, mcaniques are vintage style, the same as for chavalet if I will make a move too small change Schaller / Fender, but for now I am surprised enjoyable.

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable trs, trs Fender I am, so no surprise that ct l. Access in acute is enough for me, I am more gimmick that riff and solo ...

The guitar is trslgre, wood is certainly not dense trs is not a Les Paul any fawn, but all the same thundering. It is more than lgre American Series, I will not be tonn the economy will be made this ct l. At the same time, when you empty the cheek, it sounds really good dj.

EDIT. NOTICE + 10 days: in fact it was a normal weight while, it seemed trslgre, more than my Start, but it is not so strong that eventually. APRS prcise observation, I see no assemblage of wood, not possible to know if there are 1.2 or 3 pices of wood. In any case the beautiful veining is regretting the absence of a sunburst finish on the MODEL.

Ergonomics? Well, it's not a tele a stratum, then for small containers is less comfortable ...
Do you get a good sound easy? Well, although we easily obtain a good sound package! It is the strength of this guitar, the sound palette is amazing, it's a real little muse Fender!

SOUNDS

The sounds are trs INTERESTED, there are two large families of sounds: sounds typical standard tele neck / center / ct an easel and the other sounds atypical Fender trs on a Tele, the type pais velvety lace sensor (clapton), sounds creuss the Mark Knopfler, sound and dry Troit the Robert Cray, and then finally sounds in the vein of my keith be "hard riff" trs east vintage Tele.

Excellent crunch on my Fender Blues Junior, in comparison with the American Series pickups, it is suprieur, there are many teeth, a slap and crunch. Trs good output level, a pure delight. A vintage 30 2x12 JCM 2000, it is always perfect, though some positions seek trs channel 3 in distortion. In clear and sounds by pushing the reverb of the Fender with the arpges Mogwai is full, trs Dfine with a grain structure (many characters).

Actually, I think they are the best pickups I've ever had on a Fender!

EDIT. NOTICE + 15 days: the pickups are still patants! But I must return partiellemnt on what I said, APRS comparison, I note that the output gain is less than lev modern microphones. APRS INVESTIGATION, I confirem these microphones is to approach the conus t CHARACTERISTICS 52 Tele pickups. That's why they gain less strong than the standard US microphones, however, they have much more grain and nuances.

This is the highlight of this guitar, it sounds to the Manir MODELS "ags", once the use of volume and tonal oprante trs, unlike modern productions (like my Start Plus) that sound "while the bottom."

With the Blues Junior, I push the gain to half of the sound is clear overdrive with just the game of pots of Baja and the attack on mdiator. This is my guitar Premire of this type, and I must say it is beautiful!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months.

What I like most: the look, the microphones, the trs lctronique soft touch on the price (585 euros in tho ...).

What I like least: the made in mexico (ie psychological), the strings are original trs "standard".

I had two American Series in the past (note: never sell a good guitar), I test the Koa that I find such a good trs trs diffrent, Highway 2 The Mexican standard is so-so, blah ...

The ratio quality price is excellent.

It perfectly complte set my guitar and my Blues Junior.

NOTICE AFTER MORE THAN A MONTH

Well, aprsrglage, change the bridge saddles for a 6 American Series, and change strings Ernie Ball 10/46, it is perfect. This is by far the best guitar I had (US Fender Start std, more deluxe, Fender Tele US std, mustang). It allows a lot of things with a good amp lamps, all done mdiator and pots, it's a real instrument.

Ah yes, little rctification: 8 positions, but six sounds (and sacred sounds)

It's a Fender Mexican whose finish is excellent: good rglage, coupling sleeve and perfect body, a neck pice covered with a beautiful and comfortable varnish, visible body made up of little pice (lacquer Translucent my vintage blonde can be seen).

The microphone configuration which I have not really been around is as follows, two custom shop that are the strength of the Baja

4-Position Blade Switch and 2-Position Push / Push S-1:
S-1 Switch Up:
Position 1. Bridge Pickup
Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups (In Parallel)
Position 3. Neck Pickup (Standard Tele)
Position 4. Neck and Bridge Pickups (In Series) (Fatter Tone Than Position 2. And More Output Than Position 1., 2., Or 3.)
S-1 Switch Down:
Position 1. Bridge Pickup
Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups (In Parallel)-Out of Phase
Position 3. Neck Pickup (Standard Tele)
Position 4. Neck and Bridge Pickups (In Series) Out of Phase

A very flexible on an electronic tele (eight sounds)

The handle has a V-shaped
The bridge is one of the original rplique (50/60 '), for the moment none of default (it is perfectly rgl.

Finally, mcaniques are vintage style, the same as for chavalet, trs surprised keeping mcanique!

UTILIZATION

Channel enjoyable trs, trs tonn I (the seller did not lie). Accs easy to acute trs enjoyable for solos ...

The guitar has a normal weight and body TRS is enjoyable. Everything is malable trs.
(Bin may be too much for small abdominal curves). But it sounds very empty dja trs (I'm even tonn)

Well, although we easily obtain a pallette of sounds good! It is the strength of this guitar!! that's what made me crack of aillor wow !!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOUNDS

Above all have micro low volumes less gain and I think she was only six distinctive sounds trs

The sounds are INTERESTED trs,
first the sounds typical of a standard tele ct and the other sounds of fender DIFFERENT trs, of the smooth pais clapton, sounds creuss the Mark Knopfler yeah!, sounds drier and then finally the hard riff sounds like keith trs.

Patants clean sounds depending on the position of the selector and I push back not all that it can make crazy ,,,,,,, and yet I play on a Peavey 5150 ....

Excellent with lots of crunch biting, a slap and crunch. Trs good output level, a pure delight.

In saturated sounds ripped, I'm bleuff. Trs net, trs aggressive sounds a nickel.

This guitar is versatile wish: blues, jazz, hard rock, but also mtal (not too aggressive even when its not heavy enough to a) a style I would say no problem because the sound pallette is HUGE !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try it,,,, hum,,, is the adoption.

Actually, I think they are the best pickups I've ever had on a Fender

OVERALL OPINION

I use this guitar for 4 / 5 months and I exploit background.
Clearly I did not let go since I did because I had to find him but there's a catch, but nothing can be that has come ?????????

I like his gules, she Carresse eyes! Lol! And the sounds are spot on!!
Before buying it I have tried other tl standards, but that the lite ash .....

The report price is top quality. Have to look on the internet!!

I would do without hsiter the same choice and I was even advised .....

Baja Mexico manufactures Tlcaster Not Rated

UTILIZATION

Yes everything has already said t is superb parfait.Son ten but I put that APRS was going so well ..

SOUNDS

It is a pleasant trs guitar ... both a handle that a watch! But the problem is still a point! it seems that the Mexicans are not very strict about finishing A friend who ordered the Baja T at the same time as me, has returned to his supplier Reason: fix channel slightly askew, not contiguous and rewind ... Exchange (Thomann) of a new Baja, which it either does not support the review ... is the bridge which is a tad Pench fix! visible as the nose on your face, you do not forget the jack socket which is not fixed and will require a little disassembly-tightening .. not normal even when it is different to mine, making jack I IEA apart and tightened a little goes a-prs but the other problem I can not solve it myself. .. the "string retainer" or a t-string lowers Mount not quite in line strings Si and Mi so that the rope Mi s' escapes and disagreement, the rope If it, on the other hand, jams and sings a kind of wah-wah metal certainly not expected by the Custom Shop! Detail ironic .. the guitars are well accompanied by a box stating, with date, name and signature, verifies that they have t ... a reassuring! In fact, I put zero as these "details" are unacceptable. Edit December 27, 07 ... maguitare is through skilled hands .. and it works. On the other hand my friend reu troisime his guitar (Thomann) and exchange again this time ... it works the well. I change my rating ..

OVERALL OPINION

As you can think of these guitars are new, so maybe it's a rare bad luck or a return to work Monday morning, some vapors tequilla, an auditor trainee, or secret service agents G. ... n who sabotage or terrorists, I do not know! So the question "what would you do decide" it is I who poseraisla question: Has anyone experienced this problem?? Until now I 've read that admiration ... I understand that in view of the instrument: looks very nice, beautiful varnish, handle great and the sound .. really the top given the price, but voila. . if we have three on hand just to keep it that has not at all any more fun for Fender that lets anything! Pub bad. Not rated .. December 27.'s True that it is in the hands of three passes before the "good" but still I would do this choice, with one reservation: see it in the flesh, in-store too bad for a few dollars (see on the internet!) but at least not to have surprises unpacking.

This fender is a Mexican trs good bill, I pay 585 on a German site well known to all, the violin has no problem, classical tlcaster easel, a slecteur 4 positions (the two microphones spars in SERIES in parallle) a volume, one tone and a push / pull to put the pickups out of phase making eight mic positions tr s effective.

UTILIZATION

The handle is a classic Fender, the guitar is a tlcaster trs simple, the handle is short and the key to stocky, but it is quickly ease trs above, it is not a shred guitar for sure, but for others ... It is perfect, the sound is fairly simple to find, even if you can get lost in the potential of this guitar over the tone has enough scale to get its own sound.

SOUNDS

I played on a Vox AC15, I was looking for a tlcaster slamming her with this I have two scratches, one for a more rock punk that goes to his "surf" and one for the blues lgre with OD.
Trs trs trs I am trs trs ... happy.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 3 months, I also possde the gretsch and is the complment IDAL, what I like most is the push / pull that multiplies exponentially Fawn opportunities, I test three other tlcaster, which ignores the standard mex a lot, the highway too noisy one I like, and the lite ash me. This Baja is in one tlcaster vritablement 2, which involves a lot more versatility, ideal for all the keys, the black rock pixies or desire to the old blues.

In short, I love it for its report qualitprix gnial.

Well, I glue myself to myself. Now, I have to purchase in connection with a 2006 baja Anée colored sand. I've had for 10 years a Telecaster pickups equipped with standard US delta tone. I sold a year ago but I missed too much. Very intrigued by this model made in mexico Custom Shop with a priori an amazing potential, I decided to buy it.

The owner prior to the instrument is set by a luthier. Nothing to say, the difference is perfect rope handle (When buying on the net is essential).
No surprise at the grip: it was a typical telecaster neck, thicker than a Start and round.

A word on the pickups: it has 8 positions, but six sounds. Series, neck pickup, bridge pickup and parallel range. It supports diverse on the switch and you get a serial connection, but out of phase, and again the neck pickup out of phase parallel range and again the bridge pickup.
I read that some users account for 8 sounds that is a mistake.
One volume, one tone.

I am impressed by the vintage look of the instrument, mechanical, easel, color too difficult to justify from cream and white, slightly yellowed. It's beautiful.

Beautiful plaque custom shop.

O defects - a perfect finish.

UTILIZATION

If you like the Telecaster one is conquered.

SOUNDS

Simply impressive:
Series is huge for crunches and distos, great finesse and harmony, a good reserve of power. A full as they say, that fills the space well. The neck pickup alone is great for clean sounds, much less power than standard (I had no difference on my TV at US standard), but it does not bother me, the bridge pickup is typical of the character incisive and biting TV. The small addition, the switch has been pressed in series a perfect pout her casseroles and the rhythmic funk (very red hot). Backed by a wha wha, this extra phase is (finally a kind of filter that very nice, I guess in the minds of developers, wants to raprocher sounds of the first tele).
So high-quality microphones mounted in line on TV much more expensive.

qqs After months of use I confirm that all the good TV: Comfort, aesthetics, sound quality, a certain flexibility, keeping the agreement! All, all good! [/ B]

OVERALL OPINION

it seems unthinkable. For 500 euros occasion, new 600, it was a telecaster magical, with an exemplary finish, an instrument used for a lifetime.
Only downside: it comes with a gig bag, so I sold the gig and I bought one for states Hardshell Case Black Magenta deluxe interior, so she is protected for many years.
I made the mistake of selling my first telecaster, this one I keep.

Guitar Meeting in Mexico, but designed by the Fender custom shop, so good
The neck is C-profile but super nice, the combinations of microphones offer a wide range of possibilities
21 frets, it's good TV, not for the soloists fan of hyper acute

UTILIZATION

The handle is nice, even if it is not a highway as a round of SG, and contrary to what many say, the solos go well. the guitar is quite heavy compared to my SG Angus. At ergonomics, not bad,
The sound is terrible, slamming and deep, a pure rock.

SOUNDS

This guitar is typed, but remains versatile, I plugged into a Marshall or Peavey or pod Pocket direct sound. it is clear that I prefer it, slap it hard. His strong personality takes you. I am usually a guitarist static, but it makes you want to dance with her. It is truly a special guitar

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months and I do not change it. Look fabulous, I did as a blonde. A Myth! The copy of the skyscraper to the Boss. I try a lot of range telecaster because I really wanted one. From the simplest to 500 euros for a 4000euros. What matters most in my choice is the comfort of the handle. At first I set on the American stadard deLuxe euros in 1500 and then the salesman told me to try it and then love at first sight, nothing to envy her sister was American, even a little more comfort. This confirms what I read, Fender, the price does not mean anything? The Classic Player BAJA 50 is one of the best business of the moment.
