Description
The Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue combines one of Fender's most iconic custom colors with the deeper voice and expanded range of a baritone instrument. Perfect for players looking to explore alternate tunings, cinematic textures, heavier arrangements, or simply add a new tool to their arsenal, this model delivers unmistakable Fender character with extra low-end authority.
The alder body offers balanced resonance and clarity, while the 27-inch scale length provides excellent string tension and note definition when tuned below standard pitch. A pair of Player Series Alnico 5 Telecaster pickups produce articulate highs, focused mids, and tight lows that remain clear and musical across the entire frequency range. The string-through-body bridge helps maximize sustain and tuning stability.
The maple neck features a comfortable Modern C profile, satin finish, and rolled fingerboard edges for an easy playing experience. The maple fingerboard adds extra snap and attack, helping lower notes stay punchy and articulate. We like this for players who want a baritone that's versatile enough for modern applications while still delivering classic Fender feel.
