The Burpster Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 If anyone is interested I am prepared to let my SE Mushok baritone go. it is the the left one of these 3 and is tuned down to low A. Any details or more pics please PM or email me. £350

mattbass6 Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) I'm so bloody tempted by this. I am currently looking at 7 string guitars but this has tweaked my interest. Is the natural tuning for this in "A"? How does it sit when tuned from "B" to "B"? Edited September 24, 2011 by mattbass6
NancyJohnson Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 I tried one of these at Guitarworks, Reading (RIP) about a year ago. Very, very nice and lovely tones. P
The Burpster Posted September 24, 2011 Author Posted September 24, 2011 Matt, interesting question.... [quote name='mattbass6' timestamp='1316814685' post='1383417'] I'm so bloody tempted by this. I am currently looking at 7 string guitars but this has tweaked my interest. Is the natural tuning for this in "A"? How does it sit when tuned from "B" to "B"? [/quote] Natural tuning is not a concept that enters Mike Mushok's repetoire.... he plays some very odd tunings mainly Ab Eb Ab Db Eb Ab I tuned it to A which required some work on the saddles to get the strings long enough but it holds that tuning well with the D'addarios that are on it. The action is fantastic and it may well fulfill your needs.
mattbass6 Posted September 24, 2011 Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks so much for the reply and you're right, that is quite an odd tuning but cool nonetheless. I'll do a little more digging into this guitar as it really does interest especially with the extended scale length as well, which from our point view, is always more preferable Thanks again.
