Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster, Rosewood Fingerboard, 3-Color Sunburst

The Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster in 3-Color Sunburst with Rosewood Fingerboard is a limited-edition instrument released as part of the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection, celebrating 75 years of one of the most iconic electric guitar designs in history. Made in Mexico, this baritone Telecaster is well-suited to players looking to expand their tonal range beyond standard guitar tuning, offering a familiar Telecaster platform with the extended reach of a baritone instrument. It appeals equally to session musicians, country and rock players, and those seeking a fresh sonic dimension from a Fender with genuine heritage.

At the heart of this guitar is a 27-inch (686 mm) scale length, designed for standard B-to-B tuning and delivering increased string tension for tight, articulate riffs and chord work with clear low-end response. The solid alder body carries a gloss polyester finish in a classic 3-Color Sunburst, paired with a 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard for a vintage-influenced aesthetic. The maple neck features a Modern "C" profile with a satin urethane back finish, while the rosewood fingerboard has a 9.5-inch radius and smooth rolled edges with 22 medium jumbo frets. Electronics consist of two Player Series Alnico 5 Telecaster single-coil pickups in an SS configuration, controlled via a 3-position blade switch, master volume and master tone, offering the snap and clarity the Telecaster is renowned for across its extended range.

Hardware includes a 6-saddle string-through-body Telecaster bridge with block steel saddles for precise intonation and enhanced sustain, along with Fender ClassicGear tuning machines in a nickel/chrome finish. The guitar ships with Nickel Plated Steel strings in .013–.062 gauges suited to baritone tuning, and features a 4-bolt neck plate. As a limited-edition release within the 75th Anniversary Telecaster Collection, availability is finite, making this a notable addition to any serious Fender collection or working rig.
