Never seen a baritone guitar like this but I have seen a lot of basses, usually they’re fretless like Michael Manring’s Zon Hyperbass and a couple models in Ibanez’s SR series.
I have guitars with 27 and 29 frets. I usually use up to 27 mostly, but it's nice having the extra range. Having 31 would be nice though to hit that perfect 5th above the 24th. The Sago Seed Kotetsu has 29 frets, but it's basically a standard scale guitar with the scale extended to have 5 lower frets, so you have it in B standard and you can just capo the 5th fret to put it back into E standard at a regular scale length.
Eric Johnson does that harp harmonic thing a lot. He just knows where they are without needing extra frets. An example of that is the intro of the live performance of trail of tears
It might sound impressive but actually it's pretty easy to know where they are. They are usually referred to as artificial harmonics, and it's easy to understand as a concept but sadly most explanations you'll find on the internet are pretty bad.
I remember seeing one of those in a shop when I started playing over 40 years ago. I've pondered building a guitar with 30-40 frets over the years, but since my playing is mostly strumming and finger picking, I would never reach for those higher notes. I grab my mandolin if I am going to play in the upper registers.
Lower the E B and G strings get rid of the higher end. That high range seems like a novelty that wouldnt be used much for picking. I would love to explore the tuning possibilities. And what a superb slide it is!
Multi-scale guitarists: "What? You can have more than 24 frets? We don't need to get 7-stringed guitar and tune it E-A-D-G-B-E-A or 8-string guitar in B-E-A-D-G-B-E-A?" Also Michael Angelo-Batio wants to know your address. One of the few who used high-A tuning 7-strings way back in the time.
hmmthis is making me wonder.. as the main bonus seems to be hi frets not very useable but good as markers for harp harmonics.. why not paint markers on a regular tele/strat type guitar to show where to play those harp harmonics..
the horns are completely unnecesary and ugly but they got it right the concept is placing the bridge closer to the neck, with narrow room for only one or 2 picks., then a longer neck but same scale length.

This guitar with a baritone setup would actually be awesome.
I wonder if the extra frets allow you to do baritone AND regular in the same guitar?

Slide sounded amazing
Hell yea dude I've been wanting this series to come back!
You always manage to make odd guitars sound amazing. Love the slide idea on it.

“Let’s take this out for a blues slide jam.” Don’t need to tell me twice!

Btw Karin is a name for a type of wood in japanese. Burmese rosewood.
Wow! That guitar sounds gorgeous!
I’ve got a reissue Danelectro Guitarlin from the late ‘90s/early ‘00s, it’s a lot of fun for playing slide.
You should check out Calle thomer, the guitarist of vildhjarta, he has a 27 fret, 28" inch guitar.
He's insane
I think Uli Jon Roth worked out some of the issues with higher range guitars with his Star Guitar. Gets him up into violin range at least.
Didn't they "leave out" some of the frets at the higher end?
@@stuartkinzel8195 That's exactly what he did... just removed the frets that aren't notes he'd play anyway. That gives him plenty of finger room.
@stuartkinzel8195 they only go true to 27th fret, then they go to full steps to the 35th to allow room to fret the note properly.
Been too long since the last one, but the wait was worth it. Thank you!
The Ibanez AFD-40/45 has 31 frets, the Uli Roth's Sky Guitar and some Auerswalds also have more than 24 frets

Perfecting timing on the course! I was just talking to a buddy about how crappy I am at soloing!
I've always wanted this type of guitar and wondered why more octaves aren't standard, more octaves more better
When did your slide playing get that good! Loved it.
Speaking of Eddie Van Halen, you could do super-high tapped harmonics, like what he does in Spanish Fly.
Sounds pretty nice with slide.
Stevie Wonder songs would be so fun to play on that. Those harmonica parts are so high!
Uli Jon Roth's "Sky Guitar" has more frets.
does ANYONE have the keys to the LAMBORGHINI!?!!?!?!?!
Awesome video
Gary Kramer Guitar -TURBULENCE!!😊

David Gilmour used a custom 24 fret Bill Lewis on the solos of Echoes and Money.
Is that the guitar that Hetfield used on the last AWMH concert during fuel?
Getting new frets would be a bit on the expensive side ... other than that - cool guitar
Weirdly i can immediately tell that it was a hondo lawsuit instead of a dan-o
Dr. Fludd mentioned
Thank you.
With the amount of time I spend trying to get my 22-24 fret guitars intonated... this guitar scares me.
hmmthis is making me wonder.. as the main bonus seems to be hi frets not very useable but good as markers for harp harmonics.. why not paint markers on a regular tele/strat type guitar to show where to play those harp harmonics..
I was just about to say it would be rather for slide playing, and then you take one out!!!
someone give this to ichika nito ASAP
“The Karen Longhorn” is such a Texas sounding name lol
it lowkey looks like a lyre guitar
You don't have a dog? Dude, get a dog.
Where you can get a one? At a dog shop or by the Shop Dawgs?

the horns are completely unnecesary and ugly
but they got it right the concept is placing the bridge closer to the neck, with narrow room for only one or 2 picks., then a longer neck but same scale length.
Is this technically a ‘soprano guitar’?
No, because it still has the low notes
but it goes to 11
True temperament it bro
