Fender Telecaster Baja Body, Relic Neck Plus HSC

Fender Telecaster Baja Body, Relic Neck Plus HSC

Price: 285.99
You are bidding on my favorite Telecaster. This guitar features a Baja Telecaster body-- compete with 4-way switching (see description below) and a Relic neck. It is a completely unique axe that melds the versatility of the Baja design with the playability of the Relic neck. That said, this is the nicest, most resonant and playable Tele I’ve ever laid my hands on. I’m selling thisâ€"and all of my electric gearâ€"because I’ve returned to playing acoustic guitar and am parting with my pedals, amps, etc. for good. From the Fender website, the features of the Baja Tele: Vintage-style 3-saddle String-thru-body Tele Bridge The original Teles came with bridge assemblies that consisted of three brass saddles rather than six individually adjustable saddles. Many connoisseurs of vintage Telecasters feel that the brass saddles - while making intonation a bit more difficult - is what gave the Tele that unmistakable twang. The Classic Player Baja Tele is equipped with a vintage-style 3-saddle bridge for classic Tele tone and string-thru-body for excellent sustain. Two single-coil pickups (Twisted Tele in the neck and Broadcaster in the bridge) and Custom Wiring Setup The original Tele pickups had more twang than any two "normal" guitars, thanks to the single coil pickups in the bridge and neck positions. The Classic Player Baja Telecaster sports Custom Shop '69 pickups with a Twisted Tele rhythm pickup and a Broadcaster bridge pickup. On top of the custom pickups, the Classic Player Baja Tele is wired with a special 4-position blade switch and a 2-position S-1 switch. This custom configuration gives you tonal options ranging from classic Tele to series and parallel out-of-phase tones, along with special fat tones and high-output settings. From classic to modern, this Tele's got a tone for you!You can find some good clips of the Bajas on YouTube so that you get an idea of the range of tones available on tap with this guitar.

Here’s your chance to get the best of both worlds for roughly half price. Good luckl! ... Click for more info
