Fender 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster (MEX, RW) - black

The Fender Telecaster is undoubtedly one of the most influential and revered musical instruments. It has literally changed the course of modern music and set an absolute standard, becoming the archetype of the solid body electric guitar.
The Fender Precision Bass, the first electric bass, is just as iconic; it is notably regarded by the great Quincy Jones as the technological breakthrough that most decisively changed the music industry.
To celebrate the landmark year of 1951 and the twenty-fifth anniversary of these two legendary instruments, Fender is offering a very special collection of several Telecaster and Precision Bass models for 2026.</>

Featuring a long 27" baritone scale, the FENDER 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster (0147110506) continues the tradition of the highly popular Fender Standard electric guitars and basses manufactured in Mexico.
Combining traditional and contemporary features, the 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster stays true to the core identity of the original model.

The baritone design allows for the use of heavier string gauges suited for low alternative tunings (such as Drop A or Drop B) while maintaining optimal string tension, ensuring comfortable playability, and preventing issues with intonation and string stability.

The construction—traditional in the best sense of the word—features an alder body, a bolt-on maple neck, and a rosewood fingerboard (set with 22 frets). This design produces a consistent, dense, and responsive acoustic foundation, with thick, punchy bass, dense mids, and dynamic, clear highs.
In terms of comfort, it’s top-notch, with a very pleasant feel (Modern C neck profile, 9.5" radius, medium-jumbo frets, nut width 42.8 mm).

The Fender Player Series Alnico V single-coil pickups produce tones that are as classic as they are robust, with detailed bass, musical mids, glossy highs, and remarkable output volume and punch.

The 75th Anniversary Player II Baritone Telecaster is therefore a smart choice for musicians who enjoy experimenting with sound, for example in genres such as surf or garage rock.
More generally, it will appeal to die-hard fans of the American brand—from the discerning beginner to the more experienced guitarist—who are looking for a high-quality instrument to intelligently expand their arsenal.
