    I play a bunch of doom and stoner rock so most of my guitars are tuned to B&C standard. its so nice to hear some one playing the S10V in with the same tuning as me!!! haha. This makes me want to get an actual baritone now though :/ Thanks Emily! You're awesome!!!

      Awesome! I was saying that to people who are on the fence. You can rewire a guitar (CTS pots, Switchcraft jack and switch, good capacitors) for $80 or less for a Les Paul type guitar vs $300+ a shop would charge you. That's just one job!
      So basically a GOOD solder setup pays for itself within a job or two with everything you need. 😉👍✨

    I love my baritones! I'm building a tele w/a spalted maple body, and a wild bird's eye maple neck w/a wild stripey fretboard. I have to teach myself to solder now. Yikes. I bought my first offset guitar. It's actually a Squire bass VI, but it has six strings, anyway. Your baritone turned out great.

    I saw that you have a Stringjoy sticker with those strings. I just got 3 sets last week and thought, "HEY! I didn't get a sticker! But then I remembered I haven't opened the package yet..."

      I got something that came with a soldering iron and some basic projects. Amazon has a bunch of simple soldering projects.

    It looks and sounds great! I've seen a couple other channels use that same body maker, I will have to check them out. No pickguard was the right call. Solderless definitely seems the way to go in terms of making it very easy (and mess free) to troubleshoot.

    I bought a Squier FSR Custom Classic Vibe Baritone Telecaster.... Purple sparkle. Wished I used it more than I do. Paid $579 due to the custom color because you can still get one form under $500 at Sweetwater. Used to solder daily in the 70's when I worked for Eventide but rather than to buy a soldering iron, solder, and whatever other tools one might need, it was just simpler to buy a guitar. You STILL have to solder the jack/ground wire even with those solder less harness's. Enjoy your Bari ! p.s...I put 15-60 flats on mine. Love flat wounds.
