I have one of the Taylor Baritone 8-strings and that thing puts you in an entirely different frame of playing. Definitely an interesting sound and way of expanding your repertoire.
Nice! I am an acoustic player as well… Moving to Phoenix where humidity is super low, so have already replaced my #1 six string with a carbon fiber RainSong. So, will more likely go for the Guild 8 string, at -$700, instead of the Taylor, just in case I don’t humidify properly. Or, an Emerald carbon fiber X30 6 string baritone.
@@jed1166 If that's what works for you go for it, but don't let the humidity sway you to a guitar you don't love. Over a 4-year span I moved from Buffalo (arctic and dry in the winter, warm and wet in the summer) to Vegas (hot and dry all the time) to Memphis (hot and swampy) without an issue in any of my guitars. Get the one that makes you want to play.
Duane Eddy yes, but who can forget Glen Campbell with 'Rinestone Cowboy' and many others in his hits and albums. Mary Kaye also played a baritone and bass on many super hits. They really made baritone guitars spike at the time. Thanks fellas!
That Squier is definitely no slouch at all! It definitely has that growly twang on the low strings. I’d probably try to convert it to a 25.5 scale too. Recent Squiers have been ticking the right boxes for me! That Conchers Bari though…I’ve had dreams about these since catching wind of them a year or two ago. Carlos and fam at Castedosa hit everything out of the park!
This is a great video but I also just watched Jeremy Sheppard video a truly enjoyed it you guys have a beautiful shop and you're so entertaining thank you for everything you do I don't know why you have not reached over 100,000 members yet but it's coming
That’s actually a very smart idea to use a 25.5” guitar like that - I’ve often wondered why there’s a sudden push to use baritones when most metal players just seem to drop the tuning on a long scale guitar. So what are “the right set of strings” in your opinion? What other changes would need to be made to the guitar? And would you play it more like a guitar or a bass - how does that work, lol? Thanks!
@@MashaT22 I took a medium gauge set of electric guitar strings, took out the high E string, added a bass guitar D string, and tuned it to the standard interval A to A, so it's a 5th lower than a standard guitar. The Tele pickups give it that tic-tac sound popular with country records in the 60s.
@Casino Guitars Mornin' guys! I spent my first 60 years in Southern California where spanish is the official second language, where Fender is located and where half my family has some Mexican blood. CABRONITA means Little Bastard. A great name for a baritone guitar! IMHO, of course.
I got a Veillette-Citron Shark baritone in an auction a few years ago when no-one else seemed to want it. I later found out it was one of only 15 and used to belong to Chris Stein of Blondie, so I now own a guitar that may have Debbie Harry's DNA on it. I wonder if I can perform some kind of Jurassic Park experiment and recreate her...
Baxter You can play! You have a very soothing chill style you could rock out. ( First time I heard you play) I'm looking into Baritones they do have a special sound to them.
It should be noted you don't need a baritone to tune down to B or A if you wanna try it for cheap. Your old unused Affinity Squier with a 25.5" neck will do just fine with the right set of strings - we metal players don't get baritones before tuning to G# generally and even then a 25.5 neck will handle G just fine.

@@MashaT22 I used to put Ernie Ball Not Even Slinky strings on my 6 string that I tune down to B and the tension was not perfect but it was tolerable. I also had to file the nut slots to fit the thicker strings, and I had to reverse the 3rd string saddle on the (tune-o-matic) bridge because i couldn't move it back enough to get the proper intonation.
Hello from North Wales UK really surprised with the over all sound .did not think I would like this Baritone sound as a guitar player .but wow i was really taken back by the sound and tuning thanks guys still don't know if i would pull the trigger on these , great presentation though :)
Pretty sure I saw you in Durham last night exiting the show! I have enjoyed your channel for a while now, though I have not been able to check out as much content as I would like to (time constraints). If it was you (pretty sure), I told my wife about you! I told her "I just saw another RUclipsr that has a cool guitar channel", she said "ahh, you should have said hello", I told her, "Nah, he'd have probably thought I'm a weirdo" (probably am), haha! Anyhow, love your channel!
So would you recommend a guitar player trying a baritone or a bass first? How does someone decide which one to try next? Are there basses that sound like a baritone and vice versa? What are the main differences between the scale lengths, string gauges, etc? This would make a neat follow up topic for another time! 😉
Well it all depends on what you want to play. Baritone’s are still guitars, they are just tuned 3 steps lower than standard tuning so they get a slightly different sound, range wise. It would be much easier going from a standard guitar to a baritone. A bass is a completely different instrument with fewer strings and a different tuning. At the same time, I guarantee more guitar players own a bass on the side oppose to a baritone, though that ratio is likely changing. There’s an instrument called a Bass VI that’s technically a guitar but it’s tuned an entire octave lower than a guitar and sounds like a bass. However, I have never heard of literally anyone who owns or plays one lol.
@@gunkanjima3408 The Fender Bass VI is actually (according to Fender) a bass guitar. But sometimes the lines can be blurred depending on how it's being played. Ibanez has/had a model (the Crossover?) that was intended to function as either a bass or a low tuned guitar.
Dude, Danelectro are amazing! I found one at a garage sale, it's a 90s U2 reissue blue/cream, not baritone though. It's got a piece of wood for a bridge and the worst tuners but sounds great. I'll be buying a better one soon though with a proper bridge. When you ay baritone, is it just play as you would a normal scale guitar, or are the chords and all that different?
The yellow moca stain looked huge made one of U2 seem like a wider and longer guitar what was the weight I might if missed that or I did miss if stated thank you for info I bet countless musicians have purchased a gear or 2 after waiting your vedios belive me your vedios help to make purchasing dissisons..as alway vedio wow factor 100%...RocknRollFlat5
I think this video perfectly shows how there is a huge gap for baritone guitars. You either have lower quality options, or $7000. Would love if Fender did a MIM Bass VI.
Hey buds, any chance of a "Selecting Best Amp for Baritone Guitar" video? $700 range. (For clean tube sound) So many baritone videos are focused on Djent.
I've got my heart set on a Reverend Descent RA in purple it's $1600 + tax in Canada though. I'll be saving for that baritone after I get a Yamaha Pacifica or a Squier Classic Vibe Stratocaster!
I just got a $150 Squier P Bass. Don’t think I want a baritone anymore. Never realized I was a closet bassist. Lol. Baritone is great but, Bass was much more of an eye opener for me. I’ll still try a baritone soon but, I need a bass to expand my guitar playing. Btw, I’m old. Try bass immediately before you’re old like me.
Hey Baxter and Jonathan! Thanks for this video. I been playing baritone and normal scale guitar in baritone tunings in my band Lost Dutchman. For those of us that live in this world, you've given us some ideas for a backup or main guitar. You guys rule.
Slightly off topic but I'm thinking of picking up either a Fender Noventa Telecaster or a Gibson SG junior. From what I can tell the fender is a bit snappier and the Gibson is darker and broodier. My other guitar is a 60s spec Fender Strat. I'm looking for something punchy and raw. What are your recommendations?
No real reason honestly. You can play all songs the same way, it'll just be much deeper. Every lesson and chord will be the same, hand position wise. The notes will just be different.
Great video, guys! I'm in the process of recording my debut originals right now at Los Olivos Studios in LA. Using baritone guitars on nearly every song (danelectro and a squier cabronita). Hoping for a custom shop tele custom baritone.... one day lol
Baritone guitars... (especially electrics, in my opinion) AWESOMENESS! They can lead to new inspirations in your music! (I use mine for "Ambient Guitar" and helping to "build" some extra structure in some of my other tunes. I went with a used ..like new... PRS SE 277. I'm a "double-cut-Dude"...Love it!)
So I have a few questions. I’m very much a beginner. I’ve had multiple people who know I’m a beginner tell me I should try a baritone. But it seems like more of an advanced level instrument. I’m still playing mostly open chords with the occasional single note line here and there. Would you play the same chord shapes on one of these vs a standard guitar? Would the same chord progressions apply?
Its just the same, but lower. Everything still works. Its not advanced at all, its just a lower pitch. You should totally try one, it might inspire different sounds and ideas. If a chord sounds funny, you can always move a finger over a bit and find something that works a bit better. Just try anything you find interesting, you can already make noises on a stringed instrument played with a plectrum. Anything else should be a quick learn whether it be a baritone, a bass, a mandolin, or whatever else you want. Even if someone says its harder doesnt mean its objectively harder. Theres a curve to everything.
IMO, there’s no good/better/best with stringed instruments. You either connect or you don’t. I A/B’d the 5260 with a Squier CV baritone yesterday. The Gretsch was gorgeous (walnut finish), but no good for me. String spacing too tight at the nut, stiff tuners, muddled in the low end, dark, uninspiring tones, felt clumsy and awkward. Looking forward to trying the Cabronita next week.
Nice playing! I love baris, presently I own two, both of which are customs that I put together myself. The first is a 27" mahog TL tele, with a 1950s Ric horseshoe pickup in the bridge and a 60s Teisco goldfoil at the neck, and a Bigsby. It's gorgeous and sounds unworldly.. The second is based on a 30" Bronco bass, with a Dano lipstick in the bridge and a Teisco goldfoil in a sort of 'middle position'. The trick here is that it is an 8 string; 6 courses with the two middle courses as octave pairs, which push the tonality back up into regular guitar range. I wish I could share pics with you guys; I know you'd appreciate them. So, two "one of a kind" custom baris for me, and I'd consider getting a third, maybe one of those Squiers. Looks like a prime modding platform...
The other thing is how easy baritone conversions are - $150-300 for a quality neck, some hardware, and your existing strat/tele is a low-tone beast. And, you can always go back painlessly. Can't be overstated for this topic.
Another brand to consider is Balaguer. Great semi custom builds at a reasonable price and all available in baritone lengths. At the very least, their online builder is tons of fun to play with!
I have a 26.5 inch 7 string and the tension is really not an issue if you put a 58-60 gauge low B on it. I also have a 6 string that I tune down to B standard and what I find annoying with that setup is that you can't really play any song in standard tuning on it without a capo and even with a capo you kinda run out of frets when you go up the neck, while on the 7 string you can just neglect the low B and you basically get a 6 string in standard tuning.
You guys should definitely play more on the channel, sounds awesome
Thanks very much! It sure is fun 🤩
dude I 'm new to your videos...but I'm literally tearing up at the playing on that gretsch....what a stellar moment, wow...thank you.
