Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster Maple Lake Placid Blue

The Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster in Lake Placid Blue brings the familiar Telecaster design into the lower register with an extended 27" scale length and standard B-to-B tuning. Part of the Limited Edition 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection, this model pairs traditional Fender styling with a baritone configuration designed for deeper riffs, lower chord voicings, and increased string tension. Its alder body features a Lake Placid Blue polyester finish with a three-ply parchment pickguard.

The maple neck features Fender's Modern "C" profile with a satin urethane finish for a smooth playing feel. Its 9.5"-radius maple fingerboard has rolled edges, 22 Medium Jumbo frets, and black dot inlays. The extended scale helps maintain string definition and tension in lower tunings, while the 1.685" synthetic bone nut provides a familiar Fender playing feel.

Two Player Series Alnico 5 Telecaster single-coil pickups provide the traditional Telecaster pickup configuration, with a three-position blade switch offering bridge, combined, and neck selections. Master volume and tone controls keep the electronics straightforward, allowing the guitar's extended range to work with familiar Telecaster sounds.

A six-saddle string-through-body Telecaster bridge with block steel saddles provides individual intonation adjustment for the heavier baritone strings. Fender ClassicGear tuning machines, nickel/chrome hardware, and a four-bolt neck plate complete the instrument. The guitar comes equipped with .013–.062 nickel-plated steel strings.
