bigsmokebass Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) [center] [color="#0000FF"][url="http://www.gretschguitars.com/gear/index.php?product=G5265&cat1=&cat2=&q=&st=1"]<<<Gretsch Baritone Page + Specs>>>[/url] [/color][/center] Got this baritone guitar just over a year ago (01/12/08) from Dawsons in Liverpool after I found it hard to put down... unfortunitly with having to look for work or work toward an ECDL lately, i havent got the time to pick it up now. I think this guitar can occupy both guitarists and bassists. It is 4 semitones lower than your average guitar (C-C) and has a longer scale neck giving a lovely and natural bass tone but can get crisp highs too. It's a shame to sell this but it does need a better home than it has already. Pretty much NEW condition other than i removed the horrible scratchplate to make it abit more manly and cant find it now (haha). no marks on it what so ever!!! I'm asking for £200 as you can not get a guitar like this around unless you import and perhaps pay the RRP. I'll try and find a spare gig bag, supply it with the spare strings i got for it (elixers) and a levy strap. IF baught before Xmas, i shall include a small goody bag of guitar and christmassy goods. Hit me up if your interested. *Paypal payment preferd & I'll try my best to get FREE P&P depending on where you are.

dannybuoy Posted December 13, 2009 Posted December 13, 2009 I think these come tuned to E as standard, starting from the same low note as a standard bass, just like a Bass VI. Worth mentioning for those looking for something that can go a bit deeper than your average baritone!
bigsmokebass Posted December 14, 2009 Author Posted December 14, 2009 Mine actually came tuned to C-C... they can possibly be tuned to E-E but the intonation may go out and alot of tension made on strings and neck, possibly.
RussFM Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 want want want want want damn Christmas... I did a bit of research of these a while back when I was after a Fender VI (but would NEVER be able to afford one), seemed ideal for what I wanted.
geoffbyrne Posted December 14, 2009 Posted December 14, 2009 I'd love this, but wrong time. It's either this or a lightweight head. I need the head. G.
