Baritone Madness

Post by Slowy »

I have an acoustic baritone; love the voice.

Help!
Talk me through this:
This looks like a heavy metaller's axe.. Silverburst! :sick:
It will need Pups; what should they be?
My Baritone needs to do deep twang; Is it even possible with this?

Just tell me it's a dumb idea; I don't need another project. :roll:

Staind sig model, decent guitar though.

If you need twang, maybe get some adapters from GFS so you can mount tele pickups in it:

Buy it, it will be great for your new death metal band. :rofl:

Do you mean twangy like an old long-scale Fender 6 string?

i can't imagine anything more twangy than your Tele though...

It's tacky, but it's a PRS so that's probably unavoidable.

Don't buy it?

Like that but deeper. 200 years ago, I'd be a cello player.

Yeah, don't necessarily need that much twang. Best sounding baritone I ever heard was a Fender Jazzmaster Baritone HH. Ask Grant, he played it too.

Fair observation, good advice.

Naff colour. Pick low output stuff and wire neck in parallel.

No thanks, I'm trying to ignore it. Doozy, new computer, long Xmas break and one unfinished SE project already, means I should probably pull my head in.

People have been raving about these as a cheap option, I'd be keen to grab one if the wait time wasn't so long!
