  • Description: The beauty of a baritone guitar compared to simply tuning down is that a baritone’s longer scale length (in our case, 27 inches compared to our standard 25.5 or short-scale 24 7/8) allows one to play in a lower register, yet maintain normal string tension. Baritones have been used by artists from Dave Matthews (we made him a pseudo-baritone guitar several years ago) to Duane Eddy to Ani DiFranco. A baritone will appeal to anyone looking for a deeper guitar tone, including singer-songwriters who find the upper register of certain songs to be a stretch for their vocals. Our 35th anniversary baritone is tuned to B (B E A D F# B). To help achieve a low, robust sound, we chose the GS shape and a wood pairing of Indian rosewood, known for its strong bass response, and Sitka spruce. Strummers who favor a potent, girthy sound and like to detune will love them. The baritone also features a tobacco sunburst top, Indian rosewood binding, an abalone rosette, Taylor gold tuners, a Venetian cutaway and the ES pickup.
