Baritone Dilemma
Hey all, looking for opinions here
Recently I sold a beautiful Solar 7 string because I realized fishman moderns and 7 strings arent for me, so now I’m looking for a baritone to replace that Drop Ab range. I’m a very indecisive person and sometimes my vibe is to go full vintage Iommi style or like Erik from Loathe (aesthetically), and I play more on the doomy/shoegazy side, but I also like modern playing (Spiritbox/Invent Animate style) and I do like a fast playing guitar at times.
While I’ve seen almost every baritone on the market, and love brands like Balaguer and Dunable, I can only get that higher budget through a paying system like the one Zzounds offers with no credit check.
Currently my indecision is between these two, the most affordable that I like, and the most expensive I can get (through the Zzounds monthly system only), because both have their pros and cons (based on what I said above). I’m afraid the Gretsch wont be as fast playing for modern riffing, while I’m afraid the Jackson may be too modern for the aesthetic I look for and would be tougher to sell if I dint like it, but I know it would also be a heaven to play and since being a kid I’ve just always loved and dreamed of having a high end Jackson, also I prefer ebony over rosewood which is of the few specs you couldn’t replace on either.
What do you think I should choose? If you own one of these all reviews are welcome :)
