Enjoy the beast!
How was the feeling, build accuracy and sound of the Am Std compared to the Baja?

I thought that the build quality was equal to the Standard. The main differences were the V shape neck on the baja and the versatility of the 4 way and S-1 switch. The tones available on the Baja were everything from Jazz to Blues to Funk to Country to Rock. The American Standard was pretty much what you would expect from normal pickups on a Telecaster. I think that all in all if they put the neck from the American Special on the Baja it would be perfect IMHO.

Thanks for your reply.
I felt the same when I tested the Std against the Baja, the first with more fine and articulated sound, the latter more biting and with lot of versatility.
It took to me some hours of playing to fell in love with the soft V neck.

After trying out the American Special, Classic Player Baja, and the Standard Telecasters, I have decided to buy the Classic Player Baja Telecaster. I have based my decision on the multiplicity of tones and overall playability of this model. Although I was impressed with the other models, especially the American Specials neck and pickups. maybe I can add that one later. Thanks for all of the info.

Good choice! :)
