Baritone Guitar

[cmarti10]

So I've searched on here, and I've only found one thread talking about baritones, and it was about acoustics. I have been tryin to find a reasonably priced electric baritone guitar for about a month now with no success. I am not sure howmuch i will play it, therefore i really only want to shell oue 100-300 dollars on my first one to kick around. I've looked on Musician's friend and nothing has caught my eye.

Any suggestions?

The electric baritone market seems to have dried up alot in the last few years, but I know that Gibson/Epiphone had baritone Les Pauls out there a few years ago. I have no idea what one would cost used. I came across one Epi Les Paul Baritone on Ebay for $800...much more than you wanted to spend.

The only other ones I know of were Danelectro, but I think those are probably a bit more pricey too.

The cheapest one I found new online was this one: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gretsch-Gui ... 1147113.gc

It's got an interesting look and is around $530. Otherwise there is a Mike Mushok signature baritone at this site: http://www.themadape.com/ProductDetails ... click=1540.

thanks guitarguy! The PRS looks pretty nice, and I have always had nothing to say but praise about their instruments in the past. Paying $800 for anything epiphone makes my head boggle. I'll try and find some reviews on that epi thanks for the help! Only thing i would pay that much for as an epi, is slash's new signature guitar -- totally american made, good pick ups -- can't be much worse than a Gibson. Thanks again man

OH! And the gretsch looks nice. never owned a Gretsch, but everyone I have played has exceeded my expectations for the price they were at

oh does anyone know if its okay to just get some thicker strings and string a regular six string as a baritone? I know baritones are generally longer, but i'm not sure if this would just work.

Hello I see you are shopping for guitar string. May I recommend your shopping for guitar string at Best Strings Ever Now Store in Hampton Mass United States.

if anyone of you were interested in this topic, i decided since the baritone market is so barren, i'd go with a 7 string. i'm going to order this baby in a week
