Just got this- bought a Fender conversion baritone neck from their website; originally planned on replacing the neck on one of my Teles; then spotted this loaded lefty Tele body on ebay and voila!
Tuning is A D G C E A
Strings are 72-13
Baritone guitars....

Re: Baritone guitars....
Nice! I've always been tempted to get a baritone.

Re: Baritone guitars....
A lefty tele strung righty? So that wins for oddest thing I've seen in a while.
I suppose a baritone tele would be good for this:

I always thought that was one of the coolest sounds I ever heard from the country music realm.
I've attempted to approximate it through my Rockerverb 100 mk3 using the clean channel with an old EHX Deluxe Electric Mistress set to filter mode to goose the mids, an EHX Pitch Fork to tune down, and a Catalinbread Talisman plate reverb in the loop for reverb.

Re: Baritone guitars....
Very easy to play. With a baritone it's not like I'll be going way up on the neck. I think...

Re: Baritone guitars....
Didn't see that post!!!!!
Looks very cool!!! Does the extra l9ng neck make it back heavy?
I had a guitar tuned to C standard for a while, that was really fun to play. I bet the baritone would sound pretty different though- would love to try it!!!!

Re: Baritone guitars....
It's a little neck heavy but that would be expected since the strap point on a flipped over lefty is lower than normal...Les Paul Lover wrote: ↑Sun Jun 21, 2020 11:09 pmDidn't see that post!!!!!

Re: Baritone guitars....
So Fender sells baritone sized necks and all you gotta do is swap out a regular neck for the longer one, no bridge changes at all?
I was considering buying some cheap little Jackson or LTD 7-string for a tuned down kinda sound, but I have a bit of prejudice against dropped low string tunings, and I think I'd instantly get more out of a 6-string baritone being that I'm not used to a wider 7-string neck.

Re: Baritone guitars....
Yeah - Fender sells drop-in necks that convert to baritone. I think they have a Strat neck now, too.groundmeat wrote: ↑Sat Mar 06, 2021 11:52 amSo Fender sells baritone sized necks and all you gotta do is swap out a regular neck for the longer one, no bridge changes at all?

Re: Baritone guitars....
There's also the Fender Sub-Sonic, which is just a baritone Strat. Sounds pretty mighty through a Thunderverb.
