I picked up a sand colored Baja Tele on craigs list last Fri.
The kid I got it from had it listed for $550. When I got there to check it out he had me wait outside in 112 degrees because of what sounded like 20 little yelping dogs in the house. wanting to tear poor Grandpappy's throat out! Thank God it was shaded. Anyway he hands me the guitar and says he's got no amp. He already sold it!
He says" I lost the knobs and pup switch tip"(!)
Other wise it's in pretty good shape. Says if I buy it and dont like it, or it doesn't work I can bring it back. I offer $400 and he says no he needs the dough. So, I tell him the guitar is beat and nobody's going to buy it for that price. He says wait here a minute and goes back inside and comes out w/ Mommy! I explain to her the obvious defects on the Baja and she say okay $450. SOLD! I ask the kid if the S-1 switching works and he has no clue what I'm talking about.
Switching ? What Switching. What a Rube!
So I got it for $450 and it plays great and sounds spicy. I like the soft "V" neck
I bought the S-1 knob this AM on line and should have it by Wed.
If the S-1 doesn't work for some reason, maybe I'll go back and ask for some money back!
