Not sure, but if you want a Telecaster, then I've only heard great things about Baja Telecasters. (They look great also).

Sort of.

I play a Baja Telecaster through a Fender Blues Junior and it is exactly the sound I want. Baja Telecasters have a well deserved reputation as very good guitars for the money. Mine is just a very good guitar with no conditionals; it is superior in many respects to telecasters I have owned that cost twice as much.

Now here's the thing. The BC sig Strat is an odd duck. If I am correct, I think it has three Dimarzio humbuckers and no trem system. That makes it the least Strat-like Strat I can think of off the top of my head.

So, on the one hand it is rare with some extremely rare, bordering on unique, features. That makes pricing it almost impossible. Someone looking for a regular Strat will not give it a second look, but for someone looking for a hard tail super Strat, it might be worth a few extra bucks. I think the pool of buyers for that set of features would be extremely shallow, but a Baja Telecaster is easily flipped.
