This Baritone Guitar is a Tone Monster! (D'Angelico Deluxe Atlantic)

[@dragonX71]

That may be the classiest bari I ever done seen

[@chordsoforion]

Def up there!

[@GordiansKnotHere]

I've always liked D'Angelico guitars and have been looking around for the best Baritone that suits my taste. I think I made my decision with this one. Sounds great. Thanks!

[@joethompson2910]

Hey Bill…. My Reverend Barry is also 26.75” & I love it!! I use a tremolo quite often & not many baritones have that feature….but, yup, your new gitfiddle is very coo!..

[@PeteHawthorne]

Absolutely blown away with the lead tone! Am seriously considering this as my first baritone over a Jericho or Hagström. Thank you Bill! :)

[@flycorvus]

Sounds like: older brother of a '59 Les Paul. This is a killer instrument. Thanks for the video.

[@keoni927]

The title of your demo is exactly right Bill. That guitar is definitely a Tone Monster!!! Mesmerizing is another word that came to mind. I can't wait to hear what you come up with on future videos using this guitar!!! I've never thought about buying a baritone guitar.........until now.

[@deadrituals]

This guitar is really cool, it reminds me of some of those old Bigsby guitar designs

[@chordsoforion]

Definitely get that!

[@adammindykowski6984]

That guitar sounds amazing Bill. I actually liked the split neck/un-split bridge combination. To my ears it had a clarity to the attack, but retained some of the richness of the neck pickup. What I liked is there was no significant volume drop when the coils were split. That's not always the case with other makes. But man, that neck pickup...sweet!

[@basildog007]

I ordered one. Couldn't pass. I have a Furch baritone acoustic, so that's gonna be sweet! Very glad to finally play a D'Angelico!!

[@allanwilliams1325]

Beautiful Sounds. Ambient Guitar is So Cool

[@theelectricvoyage]

Dazed and Confused...................great demo of a serious tone machine.........good on D'Angelico for realizing your music suits this guitar and shows it off really well. Thanks for that.

[@bigshooter4479]

Your best tone ever IMO.

[@theliberation9061]

Sounds and looks awesome! I wish more vintage-styled guitars looked more like this. And I can't recommend the separate coil splits enough, I have that modded on one of my 7-strings and I especially love the humbucker neck + split bridge combo for chords and fingerpicking, it's the best of both worlds.

[@RUSTY-A-L]

Awesome video I really appreciate you showing these baritone guitars they have a magic all their own.

[@michaelsnydermusic]

Awesome playing on this one. I haven’t seen you let loose before. This was great!

[@zoltankiss5994]

Great instrument ,great musician!

[@electron7373]

Stunning guitar Bill! Great tone too!

[@fredholland1169]

It has been quite some time since I wanted a new guitar, after buying my Danelectro Barritone I have been very happy. Until today. Wow!

[@jamminwithjambo7729]

Love it🥰 Nlce playing and good demonstration.

[@rosbyduhart5884]

For sure if a buy a baritone it would be this one. I love the thickness of the overal tone.

[@musicnasa666]

absolutely stunning sound...thank you

[@kid.dynamite4918]

That sounds so good through your rig

[@jackvai2681]

very nice...moody...mystical...magical...poignant!

[@chordsoforion]

Many thanks!!

[@robertpurdy4452]

The tones coming out of this baritone guitar and really good. I really like SD pickups and I believe that has a big influence on the quality of the sound. Lovely sound.

[@chordsoforion]

I agree. Great pickups!

[@covershowchan]

Would love to see more gear reviews from you

[@BrentAdams]

I tend to land on those "combined" pick-up settings. Love them, and this one shines IMHO. Great sounds on a beautifully crafted guitar. I wouldn't mind them sending one of those to my place! LOL!

[@yargnad]

It has a very woody tone, similar to a semi-hollow. I like that a lot.

[@georgefenning4844]

I’m surprised by the short scale length . Wonderful. Is this the shortest on the market ?

[@samseitz9937]

Man that sounds awesome! I see why it might now be for jazz haha. Some of the tones remind me of Devin Townsend’s tone from ghost or casualties of cool, would highly recommend!

[@chordsoforion]

Yes, I can see why you would make that connection.

[@samseitz9937]

@@chordsoforion I was wondering if you’d do that “trumpet” volume swell with the two volume knobs, kind of a throw back trick there!

[@austhimreaves]

Thanks so much for this! Beautiful stuff!

[@christophermorrisseystudios]

Awesome! 🎸🔥

[@davidfreeman5503]

Delicious! Now I'm really hungry. Nice job brother!

[@echoromance]

Hi, do you think is it possible to add a tremolo (like a LES TREM) on this guitar ? Thanks for the advice

[@robst247]

All the tones you're producing with that beautiful D'Angelico are right up my alley and very pleasing to the ear. I may have to buy this baritone guitar. Are you playing it through an amp and cab, or through effects and into a USB audio interface?

[@chordsoforion]

I am using a Strymon Iridium amp modeler, along with a Strymon Compadre and Riverside. This is one of my goto "front ends" before volume pedal and time based effects.

[@robst247]

​@@chordsoforionOK - if I understand correctly, the Iridium and the Riverside both model tube amps with varying degrees of gain, while the Compadre compresses and boosts the signal. I was considering buying an Iridium but, instead, got the Blackstar Dept. 10 Dual Drive, which includes a 12AX7 valve and has 4 channels -- clean, two crunches and an overdrive -- plus UK/US amp modeling, EQ and cabinet simulation. Anyway, I love your baritone tones and your melodies and harmonies in this video. Hugely inspiring!

[@agerven]

Wow, lucky you! To my ears, what you refer to as warmth in the clean sound, sounds very much like character. i haven't heard that on any of your guitars yet, nor on guitars of musicians i played with (which is not too many). It sounds like you're already running through a tube amplifier and speaker cabinet. Only thing i miss, on most of your guitars recently, is that bird flying up the neck. But for this guitar it is hardly a miss, since you get all that warmth/character in return. i'm curious and very much looking forward to your next bandcamp release with this guitar.

[@chordsoforion]

Thanks! My PRS guitars will reappear for sure.

[@gaetanofontanazza]

Lovin’ it!

[@jamesprice6381]

UNBLVBLE GOTTA HV ONE!

[@lightnintrucker]

My Godin DS-1 has Seymour Duncan pickups. A jazz pickup at the neck and a custom pickup at the bridge

[@chordsoforion]

Nice!

[@jesseasch-ortiz6136]

Curious about your preference between this and the semi-hollow baritone from the same line!

[@chordsoforion]

the Deluxe SS is a very different beast from this one being a semi-hollow with P-90s. Very different feel and different sound. Not sure that I have a preference, but I use them for different types of pieces. If you are only looking to own one, the Atlantic is probably more versatile.

[@petromoderne]

I am looking for a new guitar, and though its double my self imposed budget, I am considering it. One question, What would it be like in “dadgad” mode ( wouldn’t be actually in dadgad but whatever), since thats what I usually play in. As long as it didn’t make it to low to sound good, I would think it would be fine.

[@robst247]

The B to B equivalent of DADGAD would be BF#BEF#B. I'm sure that any baritone electric would handle that tuning well.

[@bradybritto]

Cool!!!👍

[@jackvai2681]

never touched a baritone...what's the tuning?

[@chordsoforion]

What I call "Baritone Standard" tuning is BEADF#B.

[@garyletsch1070]

Nice demo of a very nice guitar, Bill. How much does this one $et back us non-YT stars? Someday, I’d like to try either a baritone or a 7-string. Any comments for someone that has never played either yet?

[@chordsoforion]

Hey Gary! I don't normally say prices, as they tend to change over time. Here's a link to the Sweetwater listing, which is pretty representative: imp.i114863.net/Xx71Aa. As far as commenting in general about playing a baritone, one like this feels pretty familiar, as the scale length is not super long. But be aware that all of the chord shapes and scales that you are used to are sounding a perfect 4th lower (assuming BEADF#B tuning). As far as a seven string goes, I have one, however, it is not comfortable for me to play it. I probably need to spend a ton of time with it, and that may or may not happen.

[@theliberation9061]

@@chordsoforion I actually wondered what happened to the 7-string! As someone who plays anything from extreme metal to ambient on 7s (and went as low as drop F for an ambient piece...) I can't recommend enough getting used to one 🙂

[@fb8966]

strings? sizes?

[@chordsoforion]

I like D'Addario XL157 - 14-68.

[@wubblyjuggly]

The bob ross of guitars!

[@kadavr0s]

Why almost 9 out of 10 music channels are about gear reviews instead of music itself... More gear reviews for the god of gear reviews

[@planetpjr]

Time for some ud stomp/ big sky swells

[@chordsoforion]

Will be getting there for sure!

[@careydavenport3889]

I don't need it. I don't need it!

[@SmeeUncleJoe]

Is it me or is there some sort of constant fuzz in this setup ?

[@regalite3]

Is it necessary to be on Ambien to make ambient music? they seems to go hand-in-hand.Zzzzzz

[@georgeargon5113]

I'm sold...

[@headbangerministries]

Coming from a "thrasher" guitarist this was fantastic.

[@joeymc5272]

Hey man i absolutely love your content. I was wondering if you would have time to do a video on the gear you most prefer for your tones besides pedals. Are you using preamp pedals like your iridium only? Are you running tube amps or amp modelers like the head rush and what not. Would love to hear and see what your most preferred methods of getting the sound and tone you get and maybe your favorites on the preamps, modelers and tube amps in general to set up for a pedal platform if that makes sense. Would love to see that content. Thank you and God bless!

[@chordsoforion]

Hi Joey - I've got a lot of videos that address signal chain, amp modelers and the like, but perhaps it is time for a refresh. Will give it some thought. In the meantime, I share a couple of thoughts: I have not used traditional amplifiers for probably the last 13 years. I strictly use amp modelers, and the Strymon Iridium is definitely my favorite amp modeler in pedal format. The multi-effects units that I use the most are the Line 6 Helix LT and the Headrush (either Pedalboard or MX5). Thanks!

[@joeymc5272]

@@chordsoforion hey thanks so much for the reply explanation. That is where i am at on staying amp-less. I am in between the iridium and the new UA dream 65. Thank you for sharing. You dialing in the tones you have and staying amp-less is awesome man! If you have the time and want to make a content on it thst would be great be you explained already so thank you! Take care and thanks for answering!
