    Can a Baritone Guitar do METAL?
    - Obviously not.
    Beside that, there are so many things wrong in your video.
    1) The first Baritone Guitar was actually build by Ben Dover in 1769 after he found the plans for it in an acient temple in South America.
    2) Baritone Guitars aren't a common thing in country music. However, the ''Wutafuk'' tribe in the jungle of Cocksta Rica uses them for their music.
    3) You, as a musician, should know that metal can only be played on a Jazzmaster by removing it's pickguard and the inlays on the 7th and 15th fret. After that, break your G-string, the one on your guitar, on purpose and there you go, you have the perfect metal guitar. Any other model won't do the job.
    Get your facts straight.

    @Jjosh1358 6 лет назад +2

    Nice demonstration. In theory, as long as it has a bridge humbucker, a baritone guitar should work phenomenally well for metal especially for the lower riffs because the longer scale length (and higher tension if you are using the same gauge strings as a normal guitar) should give you more clear, defined lows and you will have better intonation when you hit the strings hard.
