Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster

Series: Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection Body Shape: Telecaster Orientation: Right-Handed Finish: Black Gloss Polyester

Overview

The Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster combines the iconic Telecaster design with an extended 27" scale length, making it ideal for players seeking deeper tunings, tight low-end response and distinctive extended-range tones. Tuned B-B, it delivers the added string tension and clarity needed for low riffs, atmospheric textures and alternative guitar styles. The alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, while the classic Telecaster shape retains its familiar feel and visual appeal.

A maple neck with a Modern "C" profile and a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard offers comfortable playability, with rolled fingerboard edges and 22 medium jumbo frets for smooth bends and fluid lead work. Two Player Series Alnico V Telecaster single-coil pickups deliver bright, articulate highs, clear mids and focused lows, retaining the characteristic snap and twang associated with Fender's classic single-coil design.

A six-saddle string-through-body Telecaster bridge with block steel saddles provides reliable intonation and tuning stability, while Fender ClassicGear tuning machines complete the hardware specification. Finished in 3-Colour Sunburst with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, this limited-edition model celebrates Fender's 75-year Telecaster heritage with a modern baritone configuration.
