B3 Phoenix Tobacco Burst - (Handbuilt by Fender Master Builder Gene Baker)
The B3 Phoenix is Gene Baker’s modern reimagining of the legendary Firebird — refined, rebalanced, and meticulously handcrafted in California. Built by Gene Baker, one of Fender’s original Custom Shop Master Builders, the Phoenix blends vintage inspiration with precision boutique execution. The Trans Cherry nitrocellulose finish highlights the natural grain of its solid mahogany body, paired with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard that deliver the warmth and punch players crave. Dual Lollar Imperial humbuckers provide articulate power and dynamic range, from crisp cleans to full-bodied overdrive. A TonePros locking bridge, lightweight tailpiece, and nickel hardware complete this master-built instrument. Every B3 guitar receives a professional setup at Vera Guitars, ensuring effortless playability right out of the case.
