New 60s Baja Day

What's Hot

First i need to say a big thanks to @leerocker for his excellent service, posting and packing - top class

Only been playing for a few hours but first impressions are very good indeed.

I had two Bajas before and loved them, the first one i had was a nice weight , the second a wee bit on the heavy side but both total tone monsters.

This 60s model has a much slimmer neck and a much more agreeably weight than both my other bajas.

It does seem less glossy than the others too for what its worth.

Sounds fooking awesome in every position !!!!

Set up really nice and plays very nice indeed.

Right back to annoying the neighbours.

    Thanks for the comments chaps, yes I'm sure it will end up my my brother from another mother mr @JookyChap at some point in the future - far future though ;)

    @leerocker - yep its set up great which saves me dosh at the local tech so thanks again dude.

    Go out and try one specially if you have had the original maple necked version, its a different beast but similar if u get me ;)

    That's lovely, love that faded sonic blue. 

    Looks better than the maple necked version IMO.

    Man its so pretty and sounds plays really really nice.

    The weight is perfect , thankfully @leerocker had chosen this for himself and he obviously knows his stuff.

    Its perfect. :)

    Sweet. Always like the Baja teles. Had one and p/x'd against an LP (still have it) but should have kept the baja and just stumped up the extra cash. Sonic blue one is top of my wish list at the moment.

    Have fun annoying the neighbours :)

    Tbh not played for more than an hour through the amp and was just pissing about with a huge grin on my face.

    I have been playing on the sofa and walking around the house lol, it really is resonant but lee did say he chose is specifically for its weight and tone.

    He knows what hes on about thats for sure.

    Acoustically it just rings out which is a good sign. When it was plugged in i couldnt get a bad sound and for me thats pretty amazing as I'm no player ;)

    See if you can have a go when more stock is in the shops, really is a pretty guitar and feels awesome.

    Nice one man :)

    Yeah i loved the 50s version, the first one i had was just right, sold it like a dickhead. Bought another in desert sand and that was a little heavy but played and sounded awesome. Great guitars.
