Baritone guitarBaritone Guitar

Tuned to C below the standard E tuning, this instrument provides a deep true bass sound while retaining pure trebles. This is an excellent instrument for those who want a deep, rich instrument for accompaniment or for ensemble playing.

The standard model is made of Indian rosewood with black cherry bindings, Canadian Engleman top with herringbone purfling and abalone soundhole inlay, Honduran Mahogany neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge and Schaller gold plated tuners.

The body is designed along the lines of a 12-fret dreadnought in the Martin style. The scale length is 28 inches, providing the proper tension for this tuning range. The string gauges are: .015", .018", .030", .040", .050", .070", a set developed by John Sebastian and John Pearse Strings.

Baritones are available in all available woods and decorative levels, natural, tinted and sunburst finishes.
