Baton Rouge & Duke Guitars - Guitar Summit 2024

Seems to be a great value and with 3 way pickup great option for great sound plugged in. Nice looking also like the way they utilize torrified wood to get a better sound.

Interesting to see/hear what BR are now up to. Was keenly interested in the model you reviewed about a year back - the one with the Cole Clark system. Was hoping for more models (different shapes, etc.) to follow, also with the CC. From what the rep said (and didn’t say), it feels like maybe there are some reasons why the CC may not be added to more models, or at least not for a while. I can only guess that that might adversely put a dent in their (presumably slim) profit margins due to the added expense of what is surely not a cheap pickup system, plus the need to keep the BR guitars priced in the lowish bracket they seem to be targeting. I really like what they are doing otherwise, and the apparent dedication behind it. Living in Germany, maybe I should go visit them one day.

I hope to run into them at NAMM.

Nice I really liked the looks of these and the woods and craftsmanship that I can see I can’t see any reason why a player could not be satisfied with these lines at all . I am a Martin player I have owned over 35 in standard series and up the line but I bet I would love one of these in the video based on what I heard from the one you played . Take care

I really like the Duke guitars with the gold frets. Very cool!

@@aaronshortmusic yea I like them I have had 4 Martin modern deluxe and they all had the evo frets and I like them that is my favorite Martin series although my main Martin now is a custom shop D 18 with quilted hod back and sides and an Addy top with golden era bracing
