Baritone Guitar Kits

About

A baritone guitar bridges the gap between a standard guitar and a bass. With a scale length typically around 27 inches (compared to the standard 25.5 inches), baritone guitars are built for lower tunings where standard guitars start to feel loose and muddy. Our baritone guitar kits are designed for tunings from B to B or A to A, though they handle anything from drop C down to full baritone range. The longer scale length keeps string tension firm at these lower pitches, so every note rings with clarity and definition instead of flapping against the frets. The tone is massive. Deep, resonant lows with enough midrange presence to cut through a band mix. Baritone guitars have found a home in metal, doom, post-rock, ambient, and cinematic music, but they are equally powerful for jazz chord voicings and low-register fingerpicking. These kits suit intermediate builders who are comfortable with a standard build and want to explore extended-range territory. The longer neck and wider string spacing require some adjustment to your playing technique, but the sonic payoff is unlike anything a standard-scale guitar can deliver.
