Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster RW 3-Color Sunburst Electric guitar

Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster – deep‑range power

Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster merges iconic Tele aesthetics with a 27‑inch baritone scale, offering players a commanding low‑end without sacrificing classic bite. The Player II Baritone Telecaster is engineered for modern versatility while honoring Fender’s heritage.

Unique selling points that set it apart

What makes this model distinctive is the combination of an extended scale tuned B‑B and Player Series Alnico V single‑coil pickups, delivering crisp clarity even in the lowest registers. Additionally, the Modern “C” neck profile with a satin urethane finish provides a comfortable, fast feel rarely found in baritone guitars.

Body, wood and finish — tonal foundation

The body’s alder construction paired with a gloss polyester finish creates a resonant, balanced platform that projects both warmth and brightness. This solid foundation supports the baritone’s extended range, allowing every note to ring with confidence.

• The alder body delivers a dense, punchy low‑end response.
• Finish: Gloss polyester — durable sheen that protects the resonant wood.
• Bridge: 6‑saddle string‑through‑body Tele with block steel saddles — ensures precise intonation and sustained sustain.

Neck, fingerboard and scale — playability engineered

A 27‑inch (686 mm) scale length raises string tension, giving tight note definition for baritone tuning. The Modern “C” neck profile, satin‑urethane back, and 9.5‑inch (241 mm) radius foster effortless chord shapes and fluid bends.

• Maple for the neck gives bright attack and stability.
• Fingerboard: Rosewood, 22 medium‑jumbo frets — smooth feel and clear articulation.
• Neck width (1st fret): 42.8 mm — comfortable grip for fast runs.

Electronics and hardware — classic tone with modern edge

The Player Series Alnico V single‑coil pickups are voiced for clarity across the extended range, while a three‑position blade switch offers neck, bridge or blended tones.

• The Alnico V single‑coil Player Series pickups deliver articulate highs, musical mids, and tight lows.
• Controls: Volume, Tone, 3‑position blade switch — versatile wiring for diverse sounds.
• Tuners: ClassicGear — smooth, stable tuning for B‑B setup.
