leaning strongly on getting a tele and thought the "baja" would suit me. the guy at GC suggested the American Standard. plus he'll get me a good deal as he's the goto guy there for me.

i did a general internet search for a "baja" elec kit tele replacement but didn't see one that had the same options as the one thats installed on the baja tele.

someone on the forum got a link to a "baja" elec kit tele replacement i could drop in a new Am Standard?

The post-2012 American Standard Tele has already the Custom Shop pickups found on the Classic Player Baja.

The "Baja" mod is essentially a 4-way pickup selector hooked into an S1 capacitor.

There's no "Baja" kit as far as I know.

The components needed for the "Baja" mod are sold separately.

Check out the links below:

Here's the wiring diagram for the Baja mod:

There is one other big difference between the standard and the Baja. The neck on the Baja is a soft V were most other telecasters have the modern C. The neck is what most rave about on the Baja.
