Re: baritone guitars
I think they're really awesome. I wish there were ones out there designed for more than just metal or hardcore music.
I think it would be badass to have a drop tuned killer rock/blues/jazz guitar. I'm content with playing in standard, but I think having a quality guitar that gets lower registers would be a blast.

Re: baritone guitars
While in the recording studio I noticed one of our tunes need some
low end bounce. I asks the bassist if he could play something more
like a root 5th thing instead of pumping 8th notes? He said if he
didn't pump the 8th notes the bottom would fall out?? So next session
he shows up with a borrowed fender 6string bass!! He hands it to me
and says `Show me what you mean' So I had the engineer hook me up
in the control room. I said where hot? O.K. roll tape and I recorded a
killer bumpdy Bump bump part. The band loved it !! the bass whent back
into its case and returned to it owner ( who sold it a week later) During
mix down the stupid engineer erased part of the track :yell: He offer
a free session to fix it. But NO WAY I was gonna go out and buy a
baritone guitar. :13:

Re: baritone guitars
I vote "WHAT" and here's why:
1- the extended scale feels very bizarre. Expect to s t r e t c h your fretting hand away from your body.
2-the loosened "rubber band" feel of the strings aren't conductive to shredding.
3-the super thick .12's they put on these to combat my #2 complaint makes these even more un-playable.
4-the lack of a high E string gives you the top end soloing range of a conventional 5 string guitar. This is horrible for shredding!
I tried several baritones, and didn't like each and every one. Seven stringers make much more sense. Aside from the wider neck, you keep the comfortable scale length, the playable sting gauge, and the ability to use the high E string whilst shredding!

Re: baritone guitars
Most 7 string's I've found have been standard 25.5 scale.

Re: baritone guitars
Baritones get a bad rap for being "nu-metal" guitars. Listen to Corrosion of Conformity or Machine head sometimes and you'll here what can be done with one. A 27" baritone scale is only 1 1/2 inch longer than a start scale. Its designed to keep a tighter string tension for heavier tunings, Unless you go super deep A or B tunings.
