thinking about getting a baritone

[Madsakre]

Hah :P No more guitars for me :P Having 10 often feels like 9 too many.

w00t Baritone Explorer!!! Nom nom nom. I still have yet to acquire an Epiphone Korina '58 reissue, such a lovely sounding guitar. Just can't justify it when I am trying to aim for a better Baritone next. One day....one day....

I like the Honeyburst LP Baritone too.

really into the baritone LP. I have yet to see one for sale. never been a fan of the explorer shape. If you're going to go pointy this simply isn't pointy enough for me

I've got a Septor 727 pro and it's great. It has the slightest bit of fret buzz on the low B, but nothing I'd moan about on a guitar that cost me less than £400. Nadzilla, did it change with heavy strings and a baritone tuning?
I've also got an AL3100 which is awesome. Rondo's return policy in the states is pretty legendary, so you probably want to look at something like this http://www.rondomusic.com/product1068.html

Didn't change massively, have since raised the bridge a bit more. The top end is nigh-on unplayable, but there's reduced fret buzz at the lower frets now, which is good for the riff-writing at least, heh.

suprised you didnt sell it. just having a guitar with those problems around would annoy me to no end

Jaguar Baritone.

Jaguar Baritone.

It certainly is pretty. My band mate in Circle of Eyes:  Kevin (sutekh hexen) has one. I love the look, but I play a fender and I just cant get what everyone likes. they just dont feel like they're solid to me. (a few telecasters, I've played have been exceptions) I played my buddies jag a few times, and in fact it was him who turned me on to the whole baritone thing, but and I am just not a fan of his. To have a baritone without an angled headstock is just plain idiotic. I have never been a big fender fan apart from Fender Jazz basses and occasional tele to be honest. The fact they don't angle their headstocks annoys me to no end.

that Baritone gibson Les Paul has given me some serious GAS though.

It annoys the hell out of me, heh. But I'm not going to sell it until I can afford a decent new guitar, and I'm thinking of going the Daemoness route, so I need to save about a grand and then sell all my Guitars to finance it. The Agile will get sold eventually, but it will probably take 4 or 5 years to save the grand I need to get things moving.

never heard of daemoness. cool name. Really sucks about your experience with agile, I'm still wating to find one and play one in person before i make the jump. I may just hold out and go for one of those new gibson LP baritones

Check out the image galleries, and if you want to know how damn good they are, ask our very own Nolly who owns a couple.

The custom Dylan just completed for Misha Mansoor (Bulb) is beyond beautiful!

Haven't checked the Daemoness site in a while. The 7 string atlantean with the knotwork inlays is effing incredible.

I've started a few topics about my Baritone which WezV made. Its called the Vociferator and takes influence from the SG and the viper. It's a multiscale instrument (which is surprisingly natural to play and I would absolutely, without hesitation and thoroughly recommend!) with 26.5 to 28" scale lengths.
Here's one topic:
http://bareknucklepickups.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=14815.0
and here are a couple of pics

(I've just realised the old pics are no longer available, will see about uploading some new ones somewhere, but I've attached a couple here to keep you going)

Getting the guitar custom made was a really great process - WezV is a consumate professional and I couldn't be happier. I'm sure there are some local luthiers around your way who have the same philosophy! Don't necessarily rule it out as too expensive - you may be surprised.

PS since those pics it now has an aftermath in it, which not only looks the beans but also sounds utterly fantastic! The Black Dog was also great, I just fancied a change and something with a bit more oomph :)

[darkbluemurder]

I used to play baritone guitar on three songs with the country rock band until we decided to remove two of these songs from the set list. After that I thought it was not worth to bring another instrument for just one song.

Of course the baritone was always played clean in that context.
