baritone guitar suggestions

[leastwise]

I'm looking to acquire a baritone guitar.

Any suggestions? positives? negatives?

Looking at a Fender Baritone Special now, but am open to others.

thanks.

I know that I would like to try this one.

I don't have a model suggestion per se, but I know that Dave from B Sharp Music in Providence (http://www.b-sharpmusic.com/) has had a lot of luck with baritone conversion kits. I suspect you could find one online relatively cheap, and then turn whatever guitar you wanted into a bari.

Cool info Aen, but wouldn't you need a different nut to accommodate the massive string size? I might do that to my Tele, sounds fun.

It depends. If you have a sissy nut cut for 9s and no bigger, you might want to do a little bit of filing. If your nut is spaced properly, the 70 gauge will probably stay put.

I used to play bass for Sissy Nut Cut !!!
