Fender Telecaster Baja

I have a Baja Telecaster.  I'm not a fan of the S1 switch.  Its got a lot of sounds I loved with it, but I like to turn my volume control down and it got very muddy for my tastes when the guitar was turned down below 7 or 8.  Wide open its fantastic easily one of the best sounding telecasters made in mexico or otherwise.  The pickups are made in mexico after the same design as the american twisted tele and the 50's Broadcaster bridge pickup.  They are not the earlier rare American models that you could only buy in custom shop guitars and well now American Series Telecasters.  But they sound just as good.  The neck on mine is huge and when I got it I ordered it off of an ebay sale it, and acoustically it was huge sounding so I knew even before I plugged it in it was going to sound great.  Pickup are a tad noisey, but come on its a Telecaster 60 cycle hum is part of the tone.  First 3 positions are traditional telecaster, 4 position is a both pickups in series which is how Gibson gets a humbucker to sound fat.  With the S1 switch engaged you get 2 extra tones from position 2 and 4.  2 is wired in parrellel which is standard for modern telecasters, but with the S1 switch engaged you basically put the neck pickup in phase or out of phase.  So when you are in phase everything is nice and fat, but out of phase you thin the tone out on positions 2 and 4 which will give you a great thin sound for chicken picking on position 2.  Position 4 reminds me Jimmy Page, and it gives you a humbucker sound but out of phase makes it very agressive sounding which I liked for playing heavy stuff, like Led Zeppelin songs, but in phase just gives you a really fat bluesy tone like a neck pickup on a les paul.  Overall its a fantastic guitar and you won't be disappointed with it.  Get the fret board leveled and crowned and it will play as good as a custom shop Telecaster!  BTW the things are heavy, mine is about 9.5 pounds!  Its more heavy then some Les Pauls I've owned over the years and it wears me out if I'm not used to it.
