Baritone Questions answered

[SwedeNuck]

Well as some of the regulars here know I've been asking questions regarding baritone guitars for a while now and I think I've settled on wht I'm going to get finally.

I was looking at buying a local strat body and sticking a warmoth baritone conversion neck on it, but after the calculations came in I figured out that the neck along with the hardware to come along with it would cost about just as much as an Agile AB-3500. So after a quick e-mail to Rondo music my mind is made up, the next bunch of funds I gather is going straight towards one of those beauties.
For $479 to my door, I can't really ask for anything more. The only thing I'm bound to do is switch out the pickups in the future for some passives, not a fan of actives.

Those pickups don't sound like most actives.
Give 'em a chance.

Also, only the humbuckers are active.
The middle is a passive wound so hot the cover barely fits.
BIIIG impedence mismatch.

Re: Baritone Questions answered

Now does this mean that I will need to replace the single coil with another active sing?

if you want proper impedence matching you'd need to replace the single and the tone pots(I bought all of the elctronics out of one from someone who decided they wanted EMGs even before thy bought it).
The tone controls are 250k for some reason.

The hummers sounds damn good, too.

I'm not really too used to a sing in the middle anyways, I'll check out how everything is when I order one see if they're still using 250k tone pots.
