mike mushok baritone

[zipline 7020]

I have a PRS Mike Mushok Baritone
all mahogany, 27" scale, tuned from drop A# to drop G#
I'm looking at either the A-bomb, C-bomb, A-hawk, C-hawk, or Miracle Man.
I want to play things like these

Any thoughts?

With that scale and tuning, and bearing in mind that it's a lot mahogany (=dark), I'd go with something like a RiffRaff or Black Dog (depending how bright it sounds).

The BD is certainly hailed as the king of baritone guitars.

Since they have a lot of mids and baritone scale adds lows and highs it makes for a perfect picture.

can the riff raff produce that low "gonk gonk" and that low growl that those songs have? all of the sound clips/youtube reviews for the riff raff are oldies rock in E standard.

in downtuning, yes
I tune my '73 les paul custom to drop C# with the band, but earlier today I was experimenting with BF#BGBE (karnivool tuning)
it sounded huge (it already does in drop C#)
if you want a fuller midrange, the black dog wins in that department
for more extreme downtunings, I think the rebel yell might be the winner
