Product Description

The Fender Classic series is a range of guitars that re create some of the early Fender designs such as the 57 & 62 Strat. The Classic Player guitars are based around the Classic series designs, but have been tweaked a little - and those tweaks have been designed by none other than the Fender Custom Shop Master Builders!

From a distance Classic Player Baja Tele looks much like the regular Classic 50s Tele, but when you get up close you'll see the new special features including a soft V-shaped neck, custom pickups with four-way switching, knurled chrome knobs and "Custom Shop Designed" neckplate.

Here's what Fender say about the Classic Baja Tele

Designed by Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Christopher Fleming, the Baja Telecaster guitar features an ash body with a thin polyester finish, soft V-shaped maple neck with 21 medium jumbo frets, custom vintage-style Broadcaster bridge pickup and custom Twisted Tele neck pickup, four-way pickup switch and S-1 switch.

Great neck on it. Very versatile

Mr Lee Burrows19th Apr 2019

Great Mexican Telecaster, possibly a new modern classic in the making? Classic Tele sounds with added custom shop twist. Well put together and a nice finish. Quite a chunky V shaped neck that’s good for bends. The S1 switch adds multiple tones to play with, giving the Baja much more versatility than the standard Tele switching. Also a good platform for modding in the future if that’s your thing? Overall a super and versatile instrument to express yourself with.

Beautiful guitar and really well setup.

Looks and feels like a quality instrument

Dan12th Feb 2016

Great guitar. Satisfyingly chunky neck and made me feel like I was playing a proper guitar for the first time in 15 years of playing. The only downside is a slight setup needed straight out of the box and it's impossible to get the intonation right using the vintage saddles. I knew this upon purchase and took the chance. Only a minor gripe.

Trusted Customer28th Jan 2016

My first tele. A blonde ash Baja telecaster with a nice even grain on the body and a chunky neck. Pickups are very good with that lovely bite good fenders ave, and the three extra sounds are all usable for me. Very versatile. Price slightly reduced in sale so delighted. It sounded good in the shop into a blues junior and much better with a Super Reverb at home. The Baja is my new favourite solid body...prefer to my 1980s Gibson Les Paul Standard and classic series 50s Mexican Fender Strat I cannot beleive the custom shop teles over two grand would be any better sounding to be honest.

Mr. Oliver Price14th Jan 2016

By far the best guitar I've ever played.

Trusted Customer24th Mar 2015
