Baritone 6 String Appreciation Thread

[HeHasTheJazzHands]

I had a feeling it would feed back, but nothing some foam can't help remedy. The body isn't nitro so it shouldn't cause any harm. I kinda like that feedback because it gives you some cool effects if you can actually 'tame' it.

Both it and the PRS Mushok have my ideal specs for a baritone, but there's something about the Hagstrom I really want.

Well if I grab one and feedback becomes an issue, I'll probably make some DIY plugs with some EVA foam or even go the even lazier route with gaffer tape.

If the pickups become a problem, I'll probably just man up and do a pickup swap, as well as getting rid of the tone pots like I usually do.

That, or just forget about the semi-hollow completely and just get a Mushok since it's somewhat similar to what I want.

Showing my Appreciation too! I love my 26.5" 6 String. The perfect scale length IMO! Not too big to stretch around but still that bit of extra space for my big hands when you get up high and the added tension is great!

I will be ordering a Carvin/Kiesel baritone headless soon. 27" scale, like what I originally wanted from Fretsong, before I got ripped off by him. Glad someone is making these now, and anxious to get one made to my specs.

Hey sorry for the late response, just saw your question

Its a Warmoth Baritone conversion neck on a cheap eBay body. Plays well but weight a ton and a half lol

Thanks for your comment mate! I don't have any decent clips yet but I'm working on finding a way to demo my amps and stuff so at some point I'll have some. Don't hold your breath though

Does anybody have any suggestions or strings for a 27" Scale Bari for Drop A?
I know I've posted on another threat here so I apologize.

depends on price. if you want a cheap one, you can't go wrong with agile, ltd, or a prs mike mushok.

Agile.
God they’re good for the money. If i could swing it i’d get a semi custom from agile

I have an old 25.5" B.C. Rich import Virgin tuned down to B with 13-59 strings on it. I have a couple of seven stringers tuned to A, but this is my B to B baritone tuned sixer...

I bought it from an eBay seller in 2004 for $115 shipped. The prior owner had massacred a Floyd bridge and nut install, leaving a chunk of wood missing from the body and another from the neck. The plan was to gank the EMG pickups and sell the guitar body to my drummer. When he could not get me the last $50, he just gave the guitar back to me.

I have revamped it three times. I have built up parts of the missing wood with layers of wood putty, replaced the bridge with a Gotoh licensed Floyd, and 18 volt modded the EMG pickups that were in it.

This most recent revamp had a professional fret touch-up, installation of EMG 81x and 60x pickups, and the addition of an EMG SPC tone control. The thing is a fine tuned sleeper monster of a guitar now!
