I freaking love that PRS, been gasing for one for a while...

Might pull the trigger for a new baritone next week, stay tuned

EDIT: Trigger has been pulled sooner than planned. Expect a NGD next week or the one after

Teaser (not actual picture of the one coming, I'll post some once I get it):

I have one of these:

28.6" scale. Put extra heavy gauge strings on it and tune it in open G. The neck isn't as comfortable as some of my other guitars, but for low heavy stuff, it's a monster.

How are the bridges on these? they look like they can't be adjusted well o.o

This is my baby, a Mayones Setius Baritone. Purchased it for my Post-Metal Band. I really had some luck, as my uncle has his summer-residence in Poland, so i got it for a very good price thanks to the weak zloty (around 800$ I think). Unfortunately right now we changed to a C#-tuning and out of convenience im playing a Cort Moscato I at the moment (which is by the way a rather funny but also really, really great guitar and much more worth than its price! Just really ugly :lol:). Still I really love the mayones very much and I'm doing a lot of homerecording with it. Only flaw is, that i went a bit over the top with the Pick-Up Configuration, when I ordered it. Dont really need the single coil and dont really like the P-Rail though the P90 in it sounds really great. Well, you have to learn from your expierences. ^^

Well I will help you break even and give you 800.00 for it.....Just sayin'...

I was worried about the same thing until I got mine. You can make any adjustment you want. It's not intuitive by looking at it at first. The action on mine is exception, and the intonation is perfect.

I had the same concern. I wish they had a more traditional shape in the Baritone. Not a fan of that shape.

I really wish I could buy a bari.

I currently have a normal 6 string and a 7 string, but I would also like to add a bari and an 8 for extreme awesomeness completion or whatever lol

But here in São Paulo I just can't find baritones, they're virtually non-existant here. If you ask employees in music stores they don't even know what a ....ing baritone guitar is... it pisses me off. The selection of seven and eight strings is really dire as well, people here are close-minded as hell.

My father is in the US now for a trip and he'll probably bring an 8 string for me, I tried searching for some baris as well but they were expensive and I can't really pay for one right now, but I really want to buy that PRS Mushok down the road sometime.

Yeah...I really know how that feels...but, in fact, I've seen some Fender Blacktop (I think that's the name of the series...) been sold here! In fact, it was quite unexpensive (something around R$2000,00-ish)
