The Nantel Verdict
The Nantel Verdict
Baritone scale (30") yields deeper fundamental response; dual Player II pickups deliver modern clarity with vintage Tele character; contemporary neck profile and hardware refresh; authentic Telecaster single-cutaway geometry adapted for extended range applications.
Standard Tele setup applies; baritone strings (.062–.013 gauge) required; benefits from heavier gauge strings for optimal tension; compatible with most Telecaster aftermarket parts and modifications.
A professionally-voiced baritone instrument that preserves Telecaster design integrity while delivering the deeper tonality extended-scale players demand. Serious alternative and experimental players gain a stage-ready foundation at accessible pricing.
