Traditional Baritone Model

"The Baritone has a vibrant powerful sound!"

Yes, we make incredible sounding baritone models! It has such rich power and clear definition, one almost forgets the pitch is one whole step down after playing or listening awhile. This instrument is especially treasured by guitarists who love to play in drop tuning and slack-key styles.

The Baritone includes a neck which has 14 frets to the body and a 28" string scale. With regular medium gauge strings they can be tuned one whole step down to D-G-C-F-A-D and drop tuned from there. Add a capo at the 2nd fret and it's a regular guitar. With slightly heavier custom gauge strings it can be tuned as low as B to B.
