Features:

This guitar is increable. Period. I have played it out and all of my bandmates and the people in the crowd agree that it sounds great. I play Rock, Blues, Country, ect... and it fits very well. I play this guitar through a Fender Blues Jr for smaller venues and through a 2x12 half stack for the bigger venues. Being a Tele it sounds great for the courty music but then if you role the volue up and drive the tubes alittle harder you get that black crowe sound. For the blues just put it on the neck pick up and go. I have always been a gibson guy and then i picked up this fnder and fell in love with it. Don't get me wrong i love my les pauls but this is great for those songs that are alittle less rock and more country. I highly recomend this guitar to ANYONE, especially someone who is a tone chaser like me because it is very versital and makes dialing in that perfect tone for what ever kind of music much easier.

I sent this guitar back.

This review is on the Desert Sand BAJA Telecaster..The neck is very good on this guitar it felt smooth and Almost like American made Neck. The body was what you would come to expect on a Mexican guitar nothing special IMO. I was hoping that the S-1 Switching would make the difference in buying this guitar, But I didn't really find it useful, It sounded okay but for the price save a few more bills and get the American Telecaster. Again this is only my review. I played this with the Fender Blues Jr amp for this review.

Neck was the best part of this guitar, Smooth playing neck good finish on it slighty tinted, The Ash Body was okay at best. I had to tweak the bridge before playing.

This is a sweet little tele. What really gets me going is the S1 switch. This guitar is great for country, blues, classic rock, I've even played a little alt/punk and indie on it.

WHOA! I've been playing professionally since 1964, and have owned just about every guitar worth having, including L series strats, very early teles, and too many Gibsons to try and remember. I've played with several big name stars, and still play locally. This telecaster is on par with any of the best tele I've ever played, and it's hard to believe you can buy it for $800. It looks exactly like an original '52 and leaves nothing to be desired in tone and playability. I have never written a review before and probably never will again. If you are a tele picker, buy it before they up the price. A guitar of this quality won't stay cheap long.
