Baritone or conversion neck?

[Mentaltossflycoon]

If I ever decide to get one it would be something like this. This is the coolest one I've seen.

1960s Gibson EB-0 Baritone Electric Guitar Conversion

If someone has a semi hollow baritone multiscale I’d be into it. I don’t see myself doing much weedly weedly on this one

Ooh. Maybe I make one.

Shoot. If I'm gonna be all into doing fretwork. I've been jonesin to do a thinline jazzmaster.

Mmm. Gotta find something appropriate to put my bare knuckle pig-90s into. Currently in an ash/maple carvin bolt. Too bright for that guitar.

I've probably posted my baritone here before - it's one of my favourite instruments. It's a warmoth partscaster, so 28 5/8" scale. Setting it up so that it's comfortable and sounds alright was a bit of a learning process. I settled on 62-13 strings tuned to Drop-G. Beefier strings brought mud. Higher tuning put a ton of tension on the strings and broke high e's so I gave it up. I mostly use it to play gloomy leads but, with some distortion, it provides a kind of inarticulate growl that can really fill out some space. The bridge humbucker is extremely hot (17k or something), the neck is a PAF. I've got the coils in both positions split and usually play that way.

This is what it sounds like (Blue side of a Pro-10, various delays, Empress trem, into a Sunn Beta, with a bunch of eq shit following that I need to tweak because it's creating some artefacts).

It's not the most versatile guitar I've got. I probably could have made better choices with pickups but it does what I want it to. Long way of saying everyone should have a baritone. 10/10

Got confirmation mine will be here on the 10th. Which is a lot better than the 30+ days it quoted me originally!

Drop G like a major 6th below standard tuning? That is loooooow. The Rivolta I got is in B.

I tune to drop G on a standard guitar, but use a 65-70 gauged bass string. I never went down the baritone path, because they used to be rare and expensive.

 

[jcpst]

I use an alternate tuning on my Bari where the lowest string is that G. I used to use that tuning on a standard guitar, which was tricky to intonate.

Here's my stable of burritonez


Cosmetically modded Squier VM BIV
Squier Offset Telecaster w/ DCKunkle 30.25" neck
Warmoth Kunkle

I still have one of my own designed/ built Bridgeburners on hand, but it's in pieces until I can cut a new aluminum face plate for it

Made a very quick and crappy demo of the Rivolta, per this thread.
