A couple of weeks ago I got this all original Pro level Baritone with Seymour Duncan pickups and 7 different pickup combinations. Person who was selling it had no idea what it was. It would have been more than $1000 back in the day. Not many hard rock/prog baritones around in the year 2000.
Bought from a gigging musician had some war wounds but that didn't affect playability. Can spot fix with some tinted poly if I want.
Did a full setup and fret polish and nothing else really needed looking at. Action is set up how i like it super low but can be raised for Djent. Set up with Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinkys (64-12) as was meant for this guitar and in B standard. I love this string set by the way.
Comes with no case or tremelo bar but you can get these wilkinson ones from ebay etc for around $15.
Scale: 26.25 inch
Fretboard radius: 14 inch
Body: American Basswood with Maple top
Top: 2mm Flame Maple Veneer on middle section
Frets: Dunlop 6100
Nut: Standard Urea
Nut width: 42.5mm
String spacing nut: 36.5mm
Neck: Bolt on Maple Scarf joint with Rosewood fretboard
Thickness at 1st fret: 19mm
Thickness at 12th fret: 19mm
Neck Profile: Thin U
Bridge: Wilkinson USA VS100
Bridge Spacing: 53mm
Tuners: Sperzel USA Locking
Neck Pickup: Stock Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails Neck SVR-1
Middle Pickup: Stock Seymour Duncan Vintage Rails Neck SVR-1
Bridge Pickup: Stock Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker Distortion all wiring standard
Strings: 12-64 Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinkys
The single coil pickups are super quiet. Turns out its that they are direct mounted and so far from the strings, like 1/2 an inch. This was why I replaced them on my other Yamaha RGX-TT but now think it should be fine just raised up.
I dig the sounds with my current rig and it's silent in all positions.
The JB which I used to hate, now I have tried other pickups I like it in this one, especially for rhythm and lead. Sounds like a hot Les Paul with the mids missing.
This thing is also super light, 3.3kg.
Where else can you get a Taiwan made baritone with all USA hardware for less than a Squier?
