A Perfect "Secret Weapon" Guitar
Low-strung Fenders have been a secret weapon of session guitarists for decades. And this Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone puts that same low-end musical power into your hands for an affordable price. The basswood Jazzmaster body is bolted to a maple neck with a 30" scale length — perfect for maintaining punch from the low A-A tuning. And a duet of Duncan Designed JM-101B single-coil pickups delivers a fat yet twangy tone that cuts right through. With its unique tone, the Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone is a valuable tool to have in your guitar collection.

Plenty of So-Cal personality
One look at this baritone and you'll immediately think of the Southern California rock 'n' roll scene. Its comfortably contoured offset basswood body is a favorite among surf fans and indie rockers alike. The maple neck is carved to a familiar C-shaped profile that is never too bulky. And the rosewood fretboard's 9.5" radius maintains chording consistency all the way up and down the neck. Not only that, but touches such as fretboard binding, block inlays, and chrome hardware give the Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone a hot-rodded look.
Baritone construction
Baritone electric guitars provide a voice and playing experience that is like nothing else. The punch and power that resonates from guitars like the Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone come from a specific combination of design and materials that Fender has perfected over several decades. For instance, its 30" scale length keeps the strings tight for better tuning and assertive tone. Whether you're adding low-end chords, a unique-sounding melody, or even doubling a bass part, this baritone is a great way to do it.
Vintage-voiced electronics
Onboard this baritone is a pair of Duncan Designed JM-101B single-coil pickups. These pickups blend some of the best sonic elements of humbuckers and other single-coils. They deliver meaty lows that help push this bari's character to the front of a mix, while their natural bell-like highs ensure each string rings clearly. With the pickups in this guitar being equally happy driving a clean Fender Twin or a raging fuzz pedal, Sweetwater players have found a ton of versatility in this Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone.
