Hi guy's, Im planning a Warmoth LP build, but am considering making it a Baritone and ordering the Warmoth Baritone Long scale neck instead of the usual Fender/Gibson scales as I understand Bucketheads new Gibson uses a 27" scale neck, and I dig the sound from some Baritone clips I've heard as well as it seems an area in guitar not often pursued, my thinking is it will open a whole new facet to my playing as well as give me alot of heavy sounds to work with.
Question 1. - Solid or Chambered ? will it have neck dive if I were to go with a Chambered Mahogany LP body shape ?
Question 2. - What gauge strings and tunings are typical on a Baritone guitar ? could I string it so I can at least get to the guitars 2nd or B string so I can still play solos in normal ranges ?
Question 3. - Does playing Baritone step all over the bass players toes or is it possible to just create some seriously Heavy rhythms together ?
Question 4. - Any useful suggestions or tips or knowledge, positive or negative on the Baritone Idea is greatly appreciated ?
Thank you, alot of talent on these pages.
