What would you do?

I would appreciate some opinions on that :).

I'd get the Classic '60s. I love the neck, and the pickups are quite good but if you want to they are easily swapped. I haven't managed to bond with any of the Bajas that I've tried.

I can say without superfluity (although I needed a spell checker to type that word) that the Baja is the best Tele I've owned--that's out of two American series, an AVRI '52, a MiM Thinline RI and an AmDlx.

Everyone likes different things, etc., but for me it was that huge neck combined with features a little more traditional than the AmSe Teles. Well, okay, the S1 switching isn't traditional, but I meant more like NON-noiseless pickups with the CS-Broadcaster in the bridge, the traditional bridge, the barrel saddles, slotted tuners, etc.

I'm completely in love with mine.

I bought it used, and the after-market guard was already on it. It's my Mochatele.

...and in the end, everything's different.

I don't want to keep the results back.
I went for a Tokai Breezysound and a Diego '60s Tele
