Its only my playing that lets the guitar down!
The baja is my go-to guitar, absolutely my favourite fender that i have owned ( i have been throuh a few!,). Neck is thick and not to glossy, great for thumping out some rock and roll chords, or a bit of country pickin.
The s1 switch means you have the classic tele twang but also some nice out of phase humbuckerish noises and a thicker tone if needed. Through a blues junior you can rally get that classic rock crunch. Would love to hear it through a marshall, will do that when i am next at the guitar store.
Finish is great and the BSB is lovely, mine has a nice grain coming through so overall, given the price point i think they really are great value.
