Baritone neck? 24 fret access ok?spec

[Vejichan]

Hey ..my friend gave me an idea he told me if I get the baritone neck I don't have to change anything on the body. I Wouldn't need a 720 mod or 24 placement etc...but would it work? 24 fret access
Which is the better option..also I get the fender strat headstock..any problems?

Please take a look and let me know what you think
Thanks

All my guitars are 25.5 scale...what will change.,feel..tone etc with this one?

Here are my updated specs..please let know what is good. If I should change anything

Good specs, killer axe, go for it!

Any perceived changes in tone/feel will be subjective. 

You're building a new guitar, it's going to sound different than your others simply because of that.  No two guitars sound identical.  That's just the sciences of it.  Beyond that, everything has its own character.  I can tell you one thing.  Between the Maple Neck and the Walnut Body, you are going to have one very resonant guitar, and that's a great thing.  Everything else such as pickup choices will bring it its own character.  I've built Walnut instruments before and Walnut is one of those types of woods that looks and sounds killer.

With the slightly shorter scale length, again, any perceived change in feel will be subjective.  Kind of like the difference between playing a Les Paul (24.75") and a Strat or Ibanez RG (25.5"). 
I have guitars that are all different scale lengths.  My own personal Custom TFS6 Signature is a 24.75, my Ibanez RG7620 7 string is a 25.5, my Baritone Telecaster is a 28 /58".  Of these 3 of my guitars, the Baritone took longer for me to acclimate to due to its excessively longer scale length, but I had a purpose in mind when making this uniquely quirky instrument as you may have seen on the Warmoth & 7 string forum. 

To me, going back and forth between my TFS6 and my RG7620 is seamless, I have no issues with the transition whatsoever, and I've had multiple guitars in the two major scale lengths for many, many years.

You are going to have a beautiful looking, killer sounding instrument that is very durable and built extremely well.  I've watched these being made, I know many of the people working there doing it, and you are in good hands.  You can rest well knowing that your hard earned money is being invested well.

Vejichan, see your PM at Sevenstring.org.  I think I covered all the variables.  You'll need to take into consideration the different scale lengths, compare them to what you are familiar with, make a decision.


What kind of music are you playing?
What are you playing it through?
What is your standard/preferred tuning?
How old are you?
How many years playing?
Do you know much about the physics of energy transfer as it relates to guitar construction?

It would help us to help you if you provided some personal insight/history about your intended use of your desired instrument.

I play progressive metal and 80s shred..,I play mostly in standard e tuning...I'm 40 yrs old.
I play thru an axe fx II ..

I've been playing on and off for 15 years give and take...I have anderson/suhr/grosh/j custom guitars .no companies will make a walnut body except warmoth or carvin ...but I like to have a fender headstock so Warmoth is the only choice.

 

[TonyFlyingSquirrel]

As I just responded to the PM you sent me at ss.org, I think if the only reason that you're considering the baritone is to get a tele headstock, you'll be disappointed.

Consider the warhead, and go the 7/8 route as you'll get 24 fully accessible frets, traditional look, and your walnut body.

The 7/8 will get your far closer to your Anderson/Suhr/Grosh/J Custom guitars in familiar playing feel that about any other option out there, especially since you're going to remain in standard a440 tuning.

Btw I use 9-42 gauge strings...cool on 7/8 scale

Then you'll definitely want to stick with the 7/8 as I just confirmed via PM at ss.org.
Please contain this topic either to the PM string that we already have going there, or here.
Kind of hard to chase the topic & it seems counter productive to have a single dialogue taking place on multiple forums in both public threads and private messages.

I don't mind helping when I have the time, but let's please try to consolidate the discussion.
