Fender Sonic Blue! 60s BAJA TELECASTER 2016 Classic Player Tele 62398
Description
You're looking at a 2016 Fender Baja Telecaster in the rare Sonic Blue finish with mint green pickguard. Ashtray bridge has been upgraded to a Wilkinson with compensated brass saddles for better intonation. These are absolutely amazing Tele's with 4-position switch and S-1 switch built in to the volume knob. Four-way switch options include: Position 1. Bridge Pickup, Position 2. Bridge and Neck Pickups (In Parallel), Position 3. Neck Pickup, Position 4. Neck and Bridge Pickups (In Series)
.
This Baja has a 9.5" radius, 60s profile C-shaped neck with beautiful dark rosewood fretboard. American '52 Tele and '58 Tele pickups for supreme tone. Cosmetically, very good condition with one visible mark on the edge and some warping of the pickguard (see pics). Set up nice and ready to play. Weight is 7 pounds, 13 ounces. No case. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks.

Guitar Setup
All setups are done by our in-house luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
