Re: baritone guitars
I used to have a warmoth baritone, and i didnt like it too much. Couldn't write anything on it, and the longer scale just didn't agree with my hands. Got my 7 string and never looked back. and now just got another one.

I wouldnt mind owning a Schecter Hellcat VI. They are a very versatile guitar apparantly.

Re: baritone guitars
I think baritones are definately cool. If i had enough money i'd buy one of those fender jaguar baritones and put quarter pounders in it. I bet that would sound killer through (i can't afford) a Rivera Knucklehead Reverb-->Rivera 4x12-->Rivera JBL 2x12 sub. We can all dream though.

Re: baritone guitars
They are also fun to use with normal size strings, tuned to standart.
That long scale lenght really sounds piano like.
Love Baritons...and seven strings ...and...oh more guitars please

Re: baritone guitars
I am thinking of buying one because so much of what I am listening to is tuned to C. I just want to make sure that I am buying a real baritone guitar not some half assed bass hybrid. My main drop tuned guitar doesn't sound good past D.

Check these out. Not a metal guitar, but pretty interesting.

Re: baritone guitars
Very late to this poll...
Baritones are wicked cool. I use one for layering different parts on songs. They can really fill out a mix well, and allow for unusual textures and voicings. I've set up my Schecter baritone with pickups that make it sound like 600 pound tele - definitely not Nu-Metal!
The clean tones are to die for. And big power chords will kill you, but in a good way. And I'm talking about low-gain, not super saturated mush!
Fun for songwriting, too. The longer neck and heavy strings discourage whatever stuff you might usually play. It inspires new ideas!

Re: baritone guitars
I just can't believe Fender called their baritone Jazzmaster the Bottom Master!!!!!
A the board meeting, when they decided this name, did absolutely no-one think to get up and say "Hang on, to half the English speaking world this is going to sound a bit rude"
Note to American members: imagine it was called the Fannicaster...

Re: baritone guitars
I think they are cool. I think i could maybe use one for some of my stuff, but not everything. Its hard for me not to think of it in a modern metal way though. I have used zakk wylde lo tunes and tuned my bluesbird down to dropped A tuning. I like others find it hard to solo on.

I saw Dave Alvin (Blaster) play the Dano Baritone with the Knitters. It was like a twanging tele that kept going lower and lower. Pat Matheny last album was ALL solo baritone (If I'm not Mistaken, which I am sometimes).
