i know the baja has more options and a now more popular flatter neck which allows for lower action and faster playing, not to mention the price being more reasonable

and i think the baja is one sexy instrument

but i still like the old '52 butterscotch blackguard and reissues, and even replicas/copys from other companies

stranger yet, i like the original wiring with the extra bassy neck setting as i like to sometimes play bebop and that pup gets a decent sound for that

normally the neck pickup in regular mode is more suited for rock, but a bit anemic but these days it has enough power for me to keep my happy

the '52 is prolly fender's best non-custom shop guitar and a lot more affordable than the relics and one of a kind special order fender calendar telecasters i drool over every month i turn the page :)
