Product Description

The Baja Tele is one of the most sought-after Teles in recent years for a number of reasons. These Mexican-made instruments have been designed by the Fender Custom Shop and feel and play like instruments far above their price point.

Chunky Neck

The neck is a slightly chunkier Classic Player neck with a soft V shape. It feels comfortable to play and really lets you dig in. And the Rosewood board gives you a warmth that you wouldn't get from a Maple board. Teles are famous for their bite and twang and the Rosewood board really complements the attack you get from the Tele bridge and pickups.

Pickups

The American Vintage '52 Neck pickup is full and well-rounded and pairs up well with the bite of the '58 bridge pickup. The Baja has also got a 4-way (instead of 3-way) pickup selector which offers extra functionality - as well as an S1 switch.

The 4-way selector does the following to your output:

  • Neck
  • Neck and Bridge pickups in series
  • Neck and Bridge pickups in parallel
  • Bridge Pickup

Having both pickups in parallel will give you full, fat tones (quite similar to the sound of a humbucker) and the series switch will thin out your sound for mellow, twangy rhythms.

Here's what Fender say about the 60s Baja Tele

Former Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Chris Fleming has taken his previous design for the Classic Player Baja Telecaster and upgraded it with full-on 1960s features and vibe, including a rosewood fingerboard and a comfortable ’60s “C”-shaped neck profile.

The guitar also features an alder body, 9.5” fingerboard radius and 21 medium jumbo frets, single coil American Vintage ’52 Tele (neck) and ’58 Tele (bridge) pickups with special four-way (including both pickups in series) and S-1™ switching, three-ply pickguard, American Vintage string-through-body Telecaster bridge with three brass
“barrel” saddles, special Custom Shop neckplate engraving and more. Deluxe gig bag included.
