Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
This baritone is rockin! The HSS setup gives you so much versatility in tone. Whether you want a gritty twang from the bridge, or a clean crisp snap from the neck, the Blacktop Baritone has you covered. The 27" scale gives you plenty of room to play with alternate tunings, and the maple C neck is classically comfortable. We'll definitely be sad to see this beauty leave the shop!
SP Luthier Notes: Fretwork and Setup
From Fender
Guitarist who want to add deeply resounding baritone rumble to their palettes will love the great sound, style and value of the Blacktop Telecaster Baritone. A true baritone Telecaster, it creates rich sound of distinctive depth and character, with a 27" scale, lowdown B-to-B tuning, and a tonally versatile triple-pickup configuration—including a full-throated humbucking Blacktop bridge pickup—that covers the entire sonic spectrum from tic-tac twang to full-on overdriven crunch.
