I’ve got a Cerberus XRC7 on the way - is coming without strings. This is my first foray into such a long scale length (current longest is LTD H-1008B with Evertune at 27”) and wondering what gauge set I should look for.

Planning on keeping it around drop F-G standard, but miiiight venture down toward E1. Off the shelf options are the Ernie Ball Baritone 13-72, Stringjoy 11-70 and 13-74. Since is 30” scale length, I’m thinking the 11-70 would be most suitable, but would love your input.

Hey there !! Recording some Heavy Guitar Riffs using my 27” scale length guitar: Esp Ltd M 7 ht Baritone Black metal loaded with a Seymour Duncan blackened black winter pickup into a Peavey Invective MH ( Misha Mansoor signature amplifier) and a Mesa Boogie Mini Rectifier!! For drums I’m using GGD The Downbeat by Adam Nolly GetGood and Craig Reynolds!! 🤘🏼
Have a great Sunday everyone!!

No store near me carries either of these so I can't try them out to see which I like more, any suggestions?

I’m just getting into this, but I’ve started a personal project! I’ve got a 27-inch St-style guitar neck, so I’m planning to build a baritone guitar. I’m not sure if I need a particular type of body. Any insights or recommendations would be fantastic! Also, if you have any suggestions for other gear I might need to buy whether it’s pickups, tuners, etc. I’d love to hear them!

Hello everyone I would like to know what scale Baritone should I choose for Drop A (Like on Black Spikes - Imperatorė) and Drop F# tunings (Like on Spiritbox's - Circle with me)? Is it possible to have one baritone for these tunings or the gap between these tunings is too big? 🤔

anyone have a favorite baritone they've played fingerstyle?

I’ve been doing research on several baritone guitars and I’ve thought about this guitar for about 6 months. What is everyone’s opinions on it. Is there something you would recommend over it?

Hey guys, anybody have an opinion on which of these is the better guitar? I watched a handful of vids for both and they sound fantastic, I’m torn on which to buy.

Do yall got any good affordable p90 pickups recommendations? I trying to replace my harley benton baritones pick ups but I dont really know what's good so ill take anything, thanks!

Hello. I do own a Ibanez RGIB21 Baritone Guitar for a while now. And I want to switch to a 7 String. The Reason for this is that I have a hard time to play chords on that heavy low string because it is too thick. So I thought it makes my life easier if I switch to a 7 String Guitar because the Top String is way lighter. As I thought about that I noticed something. Why do I have to put a 70 String on a 28 inch Baritone Guitar to have a bit more tension on the String as I tuned to A? I also noticed that that Jackson has a Baritone Guitar model that has a 26,5 inch scale and comes with 12-54 for Standard B. So wouldn't it make more sense to put lighter Strings on a longer scale to tune lower? So what's the actual purpose of a 6 String Baritone Guitar?

So I've been looking at the humbucker version for a

while, and I was a couple days from ordering before I

went out of stock and now it says its gonna be several

months before the restock and I dont really have that

much time, so I was thinking about the p90 version, and

to people that have experience with this pickup/guitar is

it any good? I was thinking to swapping the bridge to a

p90 sized humbucker too, so in that sense its fine,

anyway thanks for the help yall!!!

John Page (Fender Custom Shop co-founder) just dropped a baritone collection built on a pretty clever idea: instead of redesigning the body for a longer scale, they kept the AJ and DL bodies completely identical and put all the engineering into the neck. 27" scale, 23 frets, same balance and ergonomics as the standard models. They're designed to feel as familiar as possible so you can get inspired the second you pick one up, not spend your time re-adjusting your form.

The launch video features Chris McQueen (Snarky Puppy) on the AJ and Matt Muehling (Kill Tony) on the DL, both playing and talking about how it feels coming from a standard scale.

$4,495, same price as the standard AJ/DL models.

Hi all - I just got my first baritone guitar (Reverend Descent) after playing guitar for 20+ years. I’m realizing it’s definitely going to take some getting used to, but had a question as I’m relearning some of my band’s songs.

Most of the songs I’m wanting to play on the baritone were written in standard tuning. If I’m playing my Reverend in B Standard (B-E-A-D-F#-B), is it more advantageous to either use a capo on the 5th fret (or shift everything up 5 frets) OR to shift everything up one string and add the low B when it makes sense?

Since we play heavier post-hardcore music, I imagine the latter would make more sense, but altering some of my chord shapes for the F# instead of a G is proving to be tricky.
