THE BUNN

You have a cheap squier Strat or Tele laying around and you think that you are gonna save yourself a pile of money and do a baritone conversion.

Is the Gretsch Electromatic Jet Baritone any good for heavy music? With looks straight from out of Nashville, most would never even consider playing this guitar with any amount of gain.  

Can we take a 24.75” scale guitar (Gibson scale) which is tuned to E standard and can we use The Drop to go SUPER low? 

Today we are gonna cover 7 brands of 6 string baritone strings and some of the differences between them, so that YOU can decide which is right for you.  

Going lower in 2018 looks pretty Awesome. A whopping 18 models, between 27.5" and 30" in scale that can take you lower today.  

A rad and very accessible baritone for modern, low tuned, heavy music players looking for great tuning and tension. 

There have been a bunch of requests for short baritones. Ibanez RGD, Reverend Decent, Jericho, ESP etc.. This one is kind of special. It’s a secret badass shorty.  

The most unlikely guitar to become popular in heavy music has become popular in heavy music. The Jazzmaster Baritone is a 30” scale baritone that ships tuned to B standard but you can tune it A LOT lower.

There’s been quite a few comments asking about the PRS SE277 series. The Semi Hollow model is the one I’m the interested in, so that’s what we’re looking at.  

A longer scale length does not mean baritone. BUT - More scale length can GREATLY improve baritone tuning, especially when tuning below B Standard or Drop A.  

We thought getting a baritone was gonna fix all of our low tuning problems, but it only fixed half of those problems. Trying to tune our 34” scale bass down lower than A just doesn’t usually work so well. No…

The Sidejack Baritone merges the cool retro looks of Mosrite most popularly used by the Ramones and the Ventures, with a sweet baritone scale length for tuning a bunch lower.
