Title: New Fender Blacktop Baritone Tele!
Post by: ElectricTurkey4369 on January 08, 2012, 03:17:38 AM
I don't know if anyone has posted this already, but Fender just announced some new Blacktop guitars including a Baritone Tele! http://www.fender.com/products/blacktop/models.php?prodNo=0148700

When these are released, I'm buying one of those Baritone's ASAP!

Hmmm...  I don't know about that.  Kinda like the concept, but the extra length on the neck looks a little wrong to me.

Love the pickup configuration though.

I like it!  I think I'd be more interested in trying one of these for "extended range" than I would a 7-string.

I really, really like the look with the amp knobs, hardtail bridge and pickup layout.  In fact I think all the Blacktop guitars look fantastic.

Interesting that they're using Tele single-coils in this baritone and the HSH Strat.  Strat pickups would seem a more obvious choice, but the Tele pickups fit the black-and-chrome image better.

The knobs are not really for me, but besides that very interresting.
Canīt wait to see what happens when John 5 gets one of these^^

Now if they could make a baritone version of the Jim Adkins Tele (thinline semi hollow with P90s)....

I like the Blacktops, though I'm not really into baritones. They should make a tele with standard Nantuckets.  :)

a tele with humbucker in the bridge and an extended scale length, who does that remind me of?

Looks pretty good to me, maybe one too many pickups though.  :D
