	The Fender Bass VI
		Danko with Fender Bass VI The Fender Bass VI is sometimes referred to as a baritone guitar and sometimes as a six string bass guitar.
		In the February 1989 issue of Guitar Player it is claimed that Leo Fender intended the Bass VI to be a bass and, with its extended upper range, a baritone guitar as well.
		The regular six-string guitar, for example, is usually said to have the baritone voice among the plucked strings, so to speak of a "baritone guitar" is, in one sense, a redundancy.

	Mustapick Deep Baritone Guitar
		The guitar plays like butter and has a punchy sound that is nothing short of phenomenal.
		The Deep Baritone can be tuned anywhere from a fourth lower from B to B, or a fifth lower from A to A, with either standard tuning intervals between strings, or in accord with any alternative tunings you may be familiar with brought down into the baritone range.
		While the baritone's deep resonance sounds fantastic when strummed with the open chords all guitarists are familiar with, it opens up new challenges for more sophisticated players, inviting them to rethink their playing, and to discover new voicings and approaches for a new frequency register.

		A few years ago the 7-string guitar, popularized by Korn and Limp Bizkit, fit this request but it had such an obvious sound that it is almost impossible to strike a chord and not be a carbon copy of those bands unless you can play like Dream Theater’s John Pettrucci.
		Baritone is usually defined as a male voice in the range between tenor and bass.
		One of the most noteworthy showcases of the baritone guitar sound is heard on The Cure’s classic 1989 album, Disintegration, on which an electric guitar only plays the off-beat chords, while the melodies are played by Robert Smith on a Fender Bass VI baritone guitar.

		The gauges of the strings for a baritone guitar would also have to be a little heavier like maybe ranging from.014 -.068 inches.

	Baritone guitar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Baritone guitar It was actually the Danelectro Company that first introduced the Baritone Guitar to the music world in the late 1950’s.
		The Baritone Guitar was not a big hit with the general public, or with the average guitar player.
		Using a regular guitar to tune lower requires loosening the strings, which can cause them to rattle against the frets and also to produce a less powerful tone that is often less defined in pitch.

	Baritone Guitars - Ed Roman Guitars
		Baritone guitars are tuned to a lower range: B to B rather than E to E, or whatever alternate tuning the player is used to.
		Ed Roman Guitars has carried baritone guitars for 30 plus years now, and it seems people are just now catching on to the incredible sound of the baritone guitar.
		Baritone Guitars are a real improvement to the overall sound of any recording.

	TVR Baritone
		The concept of the baritone guitar has been around for a while and has recently had a bit of a revival both with acoustic and electric guitars.
		If you tuned a regular acoustic guitar down this low the chances are that the strings would be so slack that it would be unplayable and, at that tension, the tone would be dreadful as the top would not work correctly.
		Initially it sounds strange as it is so much deeper than a regular guitar but very soon you get to appreciate the wonderful resonances, richness, and overtones that this tuning produces and you find yourself doing things that don't occur to you on a regular tuning, and particularly for me, simple chord sequences become mesmeric.

	Baritone guitars.. a/k/a six string basses - Telecaster Guitar Forum
		Baritone guitars are tuned a fifth lower--ADGCEA--than the standard EADGBE tuning; however, the more common tuning is BEADF#B, a fourth lower than standard.
		That cool Gretsch G5265 Jet Baritone is just that--a baritone guitar tuned down to either C or B. And it won't hurt to play it through a 30W guitar amp--providing you're not cranking up to ten.
		The old Danelectro Six-string Bass and the Fender Bass VI are actually true bass guitars (not to be confused with either an electric bass or a baritone guitar) in that they are tuned one octave lower than standard tuning.

		The Baritone is tuned a fourth lower than a standard guitar.
		Most afficionados of the baritone tune it to B E A D F# B. Other tunings exist too, notably C#-F#-B-E-G#-C# (a tone and a half below standard), which can also be achieved on a standard-scale guitar with heavier gauge strings.
		This tuning condemns the baritone player to play in 3 more flats, or 3 less sharps than the other guitars in the ensemble, something which sends shivers down the spine of most novice and intermediate players.

		On both guitars, the thickness at the 1st Fret is 0.818, and it is 0.963 at the 12th Fret, and both guitars have a rounded 1959 Les Paul neck profile.
		A typical Les Paul Studio guitar is shipped from the factory with strings that range from.010 for the High E, to.046 for the Low E. A Les Paul Studio Baritone however is shipped with strings that range from a.012 for the 1st string to.052 for the 6th string.
		Because a Baritone guitar straddles the fence between a standard guitar and a bass guitar, one could potentially consider playing this instrument through a bass amp or a guitar amp, depending on the type of sound one is interested in achieving.

	baritone guitar strings
		For Classical Baritone Guitar (in A) It's possible to use the same "dodge" as hago do for their B-Bass, combining a single string for the deepest notes, and a conventional set (minus the top string) for the remaining strings, so that each conventional string is one higher that on the classical.
		The extra whole tone depth to the baritone would make the strings a little slack compared to our bass, but using a D'Addario NYL 056 and a set of EJ44 extra hards would be an economical way forward.
		For Steel-Strung Baritone Guitar (in B) As with conventional steel-strung guitars, the acoustic has a heavier gauge of string than the electric, with acoustic sets ranging from a 13 thou top to a 16 thou, broadly corresponding to a 10 thou to 13 thou top string on a conventional acoustic guitar.

	Kevin Kastning - The Santa Cruz DKK Extended Baritone
		In the SCGC baritone's defense, this came as no surprise, since I had the baritone tuned in ways for which it was never designed, using strings for which it had never been voiced.
		All my SCGC guitars have cutaways, of which I make extensive use, but due to the lack of the upper register on the mahogany baritone, I had previously thought that a cutaway would be of little use.
		Since the new baritone was going to be pitched so much lower than a standard baritone, the string gauges had to be heavier, and the scale length had to be longer.

		The deal with the Piezo transducer pickup set underneath the bridge saddle is that it does not require the usual electromagnetic interplay of something like a single-coil or double-coil humbucker-style pickup, where the magnetic field generated by the ferrous material of strings interacts with a magnet to create the audio signal.
		Normally, a solid body guitar such as a Gibson Les Paul or even a lighter weight Fender Telecaster or Stratocaster is cut from a solid or laminated slab of hardwood such as maple, ash, birch, or mahogany.

		Guitar players employ various methods to coax darker tones from their instruments, like using heavy-gauge strings and tuning down a half step or more.
		Since Fernandes Guitars is known as an innovative company that listens to players' needs, it's only fitting that the company has introduced a baritone rocker.
		If you're looking for an instrument with the power of a bass and the finesse of a guitar, a baritone may be for you.

		Charles the 4 string guitars are tenors, not baritones.
		Tenor guitars were often tuned in fifths like a mandolin but tuning in fourths like the first four strings of a guitar became popular as well.

	The baritone guitar
		Most afficionados of the baritone tune it to B E A D F# B, the same as the quart bass and the Niibori bass.
		Although different pitches can be achieved on an ordinary guitar simply by changing the gauge and/or tension of the string, the lower tunings really require a longer scale length so that the string is not too slack or too thick.
		For a 700mm scale, the top string of a baritone is approximately the same gauge as the second string of a normal guitar with the same string type (ie nylon, acoustic or electric).

		The standard-sized humbuckers sound impressively clear (due partly to the fact that their aperture is identical to the narrower pickups used on the CG2), and, running in stereo though two amps, the Baritone proved a thing unto itself.
		I was blown away by how huge and deep this guitar could sound, yet, unlike a 7-string guitar, the Baritone requires no more learning curve than simply adjusting to the harmonic realities of being a fourth below your band- mates.
		This compact guitar balances perfectly and its maple-topped korina body is so smooth and contoured that you might feel like you're being given a friendly hug by it.

		It is also possible to get a baritone guitar; this is an electric guitar with an extended scale, so there is more stability when it is detuned.
		The baritone singer is often the one required to support or 'fill' the bass sound (typically by singing the fifth above the bass root).

	Acoustic Masters - Avante Baritone Guitar
		Despite the guitars unusual outer form, the materials used in construction are utterly conventional – mahogany for the neck, back and sides, rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge and solid North American spruce for the top.
		Just as with the 'standard' guitar which has only gradually acquired a recognised 'standard ' tuning and still varies in scale length, there is no fixed definition of what makes a guitar a baritone in terms of pitch or scale length.
		Baritone guitars are generally thought of as not being bass guitars, although there are a few bass instruments such as the Danelectro six string bass (since re-named as a baritone) and the Fender VI which could be accused of really being baritone guitars.

		The Fender Bass six was not a baritone guitar but a six string bass tuned E to E it's appearance was that of a stretched Jaguar complete with floating tremolo, Burns also made a six string bass in the 60s I was lucky enough to own one.
		The Origanal Fender 6 string was purely a bass guitar not a baritone, the scale length was that of a standard bass so unlike the burns there was no string problem as it was tuned E To E. The new Musicman 6 string bass offers E To E or A To A. Bumper
		Baritone guitars are not a bass substitute since they are tuned down a fifth from an alto guitar.

		Andrew Ellis of Ellis Guitars, Western Australia spent the next year putting together the logistics of such an instrument and although the task must’ve seemed daunting at times, persisted to end up with a truly original piece of work.
		From the original tuning it can go to Open D with a low A string with ease allowing for better soloing on the doubled high strings which are in tune with the key of the tuning.
		This fantastic 8 string baritone tricone resonator is another example of Ellis Guitars' willingness to step outside the "norm" and dare to create outstanding original instruments for today's players.....

		So the baritone guitar is a kind of bass guitar, with a lower tuning and a longer neck for a longer string-length.
		Most baritone guitars are steel-strung (heavy gauche) and electric, but in fact all models of guitar could be made like a baritone guitar, and indeed many factories provide them.
		This guitar has always steel strings and as it was mainly used to play acoustic music, it is also known as a "western guitar" and as a "folk guitar".

		My Warmoth conversion neck is 28 5/8, but different baritone guitars have different scale lengths.
		Baritone guitar only means that it can be tuned below standard pitch with adequate tension.
		On the other hand, there are lots of players who down tune normal guitars by as much as a 5th, so even though they don't have extended scale lengths, they really are baritones.

	Guitar Tip 158 - Baritone Guitars
		The major problem was, the intonation of the instrument was thrown off because lowering the tuning of a guitar properly also requires re-adjusting the saddle back a little thus increasing the scale length.
		The scale length for my guitar tuned up to pitch (E A D G B E) is around 25 2/5 inches, a baritone guitar tuned (B thru B) usually uses a scale length of around 26 1/8 to 27 inches.
		The gauges of the strings for a baritone guitar are usually a little heavier like maybe ranging from.014 -.068 inches to help prevent string buzzing.
