That kinda sums it up. I'm very sweet on the Baja and am thinking about getting a Strat but I'd like it to be similar in features, S1, and build.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks LRO, man those are nice but like all geezers I was expecting to see something sweet for $600. 😎
My Baja is stock so it does have the Twisted Tele pickups but I must admit, I haven't played a Strat in at least 20 yrs so I couldn't really tell you if it's Stratlike or not.

I have a Baja and the neck pickup (Twisted Tele) sounds a little Stratty to my ears. The S1 switch gives the out-of-phase sounds that the Strat already has (positions 2&4). One thing you might want on a strat is a switch to allow neck and bridge pickups together, in series, to correspond to the 4th position on the Baja switch.

How about a Nashville Tele?
Leftee - outside the box a little.

How about a Nashville Tele? Leftee - outside the box a little. I have one but I put Nocasters in for the Tele pups and a Bootstrap 54 Sparkle middle Strat pup in for the original middle pup. So that's not real Stratty. What do you guys think about an older 50s Classis Player? They seem like, if I have a little patience, I might land one in the $700ish area. |

Classic Player sounds about right. Had a Baja Tele myself and a borrowed CP 60s Strat at the time and both were comparing nicely.
