I just listened to the album and I really liked it, but I can't help but be a little sad that this song didn't sound the same as it did in this video. I totally respect the artist's vision and all that and if Big Mike's on the album more accurately reflects your feelings than Big Mike's from this video, then that's how it should be. But would you consider releasing this version of the song onto spotify? I'm just so sad I can't add this song to my playlist because it has quickly become my most-watched KZbin video and one of my favorite songs ever.

Mk.gee if you ever see this, I’d love to know if that’s a Jaguar you’ve converted to a baritone or if it’s just tuned way down. Either way it sounds fantastic

[@nombreproduction9469]

It’s a jaguar converted with pedals there’s a video of him showing how through some gear video on youtube

[@wojothebard]

@@nombreproduction9469 I’m pretty sure the pedals he uses don’t contribute to its baritone range tuning. They are mainly used for distortion, reverb, and other things (from what’s shown in the video). he says the guitar itself is modified somehow. still don’t know how tho :(

[@carjared]

in a video where he showed his gear off, he said the guitar was modified to become more baritone like

[@quinndavis3955]

Even more fascinating and mysterious, all 6 strings shimmer as they catch light as if they are flatwounds. But where can you find flatwound strings for baritone? Nowhere. Which means he really had to combine bass and guitar strings and get the gauges right.
