Reason number 6, if you’re a rhythm player you almost never need a high E string anyway, much more options to really fill in that section between a lead guitar and bass when you have that extra low string. Never need to detune your guitar ever again. Cheers!

[@towelie4625]

it's just a guitar with heavier gauge strings, lower than e standard tuning, and the intonation set up for it, you don't need a special type of guitar necessarily..

[@maximilianodelrio]

c j it has a longer scale length

[@bennyelsensohn9299]

@@towelie4625 the last few words are BS. The rest was kinda right. If you set up a normal guitar to b standard tuning with thick strings, it still doesn't sound the same or feel the same as a baritone. That's the reason why they built it.

[@solkvist8668]

ty max typically most average guitar necks cannot handle the tension necessary to keep them in tune, which is why baritone guitars exist in the first place. You are likely to damage a normal guitar if you put baritone strings on it

[@ichbrauchmehrkaffee5785]

@fjf sjdnx uummm no. The scale length on a bass is much bigger, usually around 860mm, whereas a baritone guitar's scale length ranges from 670mm up to something around 760mm like the Danelectro in this video.

[@theoversouls]

Here's another reason: A song completely depends on an open chord part, like an open D riff that can't be moved down because of the chord voicing- slap a capo on the 3rd or 4th fret of a baritone and now it's in C or C# where the singer can now hit the notes. Think of it as a 'reverse capo' that can move down in pitch instead of up.

Just a tip for everyone who doesn’t want to spend big money on a baritone: Warmoth makes baritone conversion necks for strats and teles 😉

[@jordannickerson2408]

Kai Kutzki did this for a partscaster tele. I now play that guitar almost exclusively.

[@jordannickerson2408]

ognilouD driB might work for some players but there’s several drawbacks to artificially changing your tuning, the biggest being it affects tone quite a bit. Didn’t produce a good sound for what I do, but it might work for others, it’s definitely a cheaper option so it’s a good thing to try before going full baritone.

[@cosmicbilly]

Would i be able to do that with my mexi strat?

[@jordannickerson2408]

Cosmic Billy yes! Just make sure it’s a strat neck so it fits the pocket correctly, warmoths are licensed fender parts so they fit perfectly into anything fender or squire makes

[@dannyk8768]

Or you if you've got a fender or PRS scale-length type guitar you could check out the new Mammoth Slinky's by Ernie Ball. I've set up my SE soapbar II in B standard, sounds fantastic (upgraded my p90s to a set of bare knuckle warpigs also). All it takes is a little research into setting up guitars: you'd need to adjust the truss rod and set the neck relief, widen the slots in the nut to match the new strings by either using wound strings to file the slots and/or by carefully using low-grit sandpaper, making sure the string height at the nut is correct too, then set the action (bridge height), then move the bridge saddles back and set the intonation. Also, use a low HB graphite pencil to lubricate the nut slots so you get better tuning stability. It's a reversible mod as well, except for the nut filing but new nuts are inexpensive to buy and if it doesn't come pre-filed to a good enough setting, it don't cost that much if you'd prefer to take it to a luthier and have them do a proper job on it :)

[@277southtombob]

I’ve always liked the idea of a baritone but haven’t bought one. I’ve finally realized (it’s embarrassing it has taken this long) that I can use a capo and have a standard or move it down in steps for tuning down.

I love bass's percussive possibilities and rich, heavy tones, both things I can't get from guitar. However, I still really like how guitars take effects and how well-suited they are for your more conventional melodies. That's why I think I'll love electric baritone guitars! They're like the perfect cross between bass and guitar: They sound great with effects but still have a good amount of weight to their notes!

[@lordnecrodeath119]

Suited me, then I finally caved and bought a 33 inch scale "Seed Kotetsu" (Instantly blocked off the floyd lol) and am much happier. Later on I picked up a PRS 277SE baritone and love that one too.

I really want to get a Squier Jaguar Bass VI and use it as a bari instead of a bass. Because it has a 30" scale, I can tune it down to an E toE, same as a 6-string bass.

[@domagojoinky8262]

B standard tuning makes playing some songs easier. Keys with flats, like Eb major or minor do not have the same impact if played on 4 string bass or standard guitar if it is not downtuned.

I absolutely love my PRS baritone guitar... While no standard tuning has been established for baritone guitars, the perfect fifth lower (A1-D2-G2-C3-E3-A3), makes your standard major cord positions sound great as they are always a perfect fifth away from the original. This makes transition even easier .

[@NateTriplett]

I’d love to see you do a comparison to a 7 string.

[@XChristianNoirX]

Most 7 strings have a 25.5 - 27" scale length. This thing is almost 30, so you can use closer to the same gauge strings as you would normally, basically not making the low B a super fat and too bassy string where you need to high pass the guitar so you don't blow up your amp lol. The messhuga m8m guitar has a similar scale length... But it's 8 strings.

[@NateTriplett]

Christian Noir Which is why I’d love to see a full video on it, especially regarding various tunings. My 7-string is a 25.75 length with super heavy strings in drop A tuning. And it’s easy to imagine retuning the b string to have the low 6 act as a baritone. Drop A vs B drop D vs drop A drop D etc etc...

[@XChristianNoirX]

@@NateTriplett I usually just tune 25.5 scale guitars with 6 string to baritone. I don't really need a 7 string (although I have 2). A lot of the sound of this baritone is probably the lipstick pickups. It's a totally different ballgame I think.

Most of the reasons you listed can also be satisfied by just using a different tuning. I mean you can only write so many songs in E standard. Even if you're not playing metal, tuning low or just using something besides e standard will really "Get you in a different creative space" as you said. A baritone guitar can help with that though, depending on how low you intend to tune. Alternate tunings straight up get you in a different key, which will instantly get you coming up with things you wouldn't if you're in the same tuning all the time.

[@scottmartinezguitarandbass]

Just built myself a Baritone guitar and I love it. I have a Bass VI as well, and I thought - when I bought the VI that this is what I was getting. Obviously not. So over the years, I actually put a set of Baritone strings on the VI and dealt with it, but was never 100%. I traded a MEX Strat (SSS) for a couple Squier guitars, and got a HSS Strat and a Tele, and the guy had a Baritone neck. So I made the Tele into a Baritone and hot rodded the HSS. I couldn't be happier with the Baritone. I've already used it on quite a few demos. It's the sound I've been wanting and searching for for YEARS.

Okay, this video has been in the internet for a while before I saw it and yes, it made me put a baritone neck on an otherwise not so often touched guitar. Thanks for the inspiration to go baritone!
