Legendary axe goes low
Fender's Blacktop Telecaster Baritone solidbody electric gives you the best of both worlds: earth-shaking low-tuned tones plus a legendary guitar design. Our Sweetwater Sales Engineers love this axe, and so will you! The Tele has been embraced by guitarists the world over for over six decades, and now you can elicit subterranean tones from it! The Blacktop Tele's long scale and fast-playing neck combine to give you an unbeatable sonic weapon - onstage, or in the studio.

Bigtime tonal versatility
Fender spec'd the Blacktop Telecaster Baritone with three pickups, instead of the Tele's usual two. You not only get a pair of Tele neck pickups (known for their warmth and sparkle) in the neck and middle positions - there's also a smokin' hot Humbucker™ at the bridge, waiting for marching orders. This sonic elixer gets poured through a 5-way blade - giving you bigtime tonal versatility.

The Blacktop treatment
Fender's affordable Blacktop Series has expanded the sonic frontiers of classic Fender instruments by powering them with high-gain humbucking pickups. With its HSS pickup configuration, the Blacktop Telecaster Baritone gives you a broad palette of deep, rich, even aggressive tones to up the intensity of your music. The Blacktop treatment also includes unmistakable styling touches such as skirted amp knobs and a reversed control plate. And perhaps best of all, Blacktop Series instruments are amazingly affordable!
