![]() Read on… I’m keeping mine for a good long while. Nice!īack to the subject: This review is about a new Blacktop Fender Telecaster in long scale Baritone tuning.

It’s well enough to use guitars and basses – but what about something that layers sounds in between? Here’s where 8- and 7-string guitars come in, and my favorite mid-voice: the Baritone. It’s great that I’ve been able to use such a diverse array of instruments from guitars to basses to keyboards and even some folk instruments and meditation instruments… The Fender Blacktop Tele Baritone in all its gloryīut sometimes you just need something that adds more richness to recordings. I’ve been playing lots of very distinct sounds and ideas in the past couple of years. The Fender Blacktop Telecaster Baritone Review! An affordable giant down low! I love this guitar.
