Recommended Posts

Building a Baritone, commissioned by a friend. Brief: 28” scale, but keep overall length same as a normal scale guitar, inspired by the Jazzmaster design. Just dropping some pics, as I haven’t been on the forum much.

 

Alder Body

28” Maple neck

Wenge fretboard

Decent but budget black  hardware

Double humbuckers

I do love the sound of baritone guitars.

 

I first heard about them from a program on the radio talking to Pat Metheny about his album "One quiet night". He came across a baritone guitar somewhere and bought it on a whim. He then spent most of the night exploring, noodling, playing some tunes. When he listened back to the recordings he had made he really liked the vibe and put it out as an album unedited.

Playing around with the laser yesterday… 1 pass gives you about .5mm dept. Also (because I could) tried cutting out an inlay in maple ….this was just for fun. I will either leave au naturel OR fill with epoxy/ebony dust. Also did a little print on back of neck.
