hello

a couple days a did a post but i still have a few questions.

i know a baja sounds good clean but can it handle some distortion?
isn't the sound to sharp?

And also can you give me some info about the thinlines (72 , 69)

so can you play for example hendrix on a 72 thinline

please help me out which is more versatile

I've never played a Baja Tele, and I'm not a big fan of the Thinlines, but on a general basis I'd say a Tele is great with a little distortion.

I've played both Hendrix and Cream stuff on a standard '65 Telecaster through a distorted Vox AC30.

I see absolutely no reason why you couldn't do the same on a Baja or a Thinline. Teles really aren't that different. Yeah, I know JMHO
