...can you put tracks on a Ford Pinto? Can you put Conan the Barbarian on a donkey? Or can you put an iceberg in your coke? Sure. Same as putting a longbowstring on a fiddle...
that's the humbucker model, which is also currently the only commercially available model from fender. they use to have that commercially available, but now you have to custom order it :P
it's available from pretty much every country that isn't a third world country so i'd assume it is :P it would take forever to get to you: in america it takes a long time so i australia it might be a few weeks. But fender custom guitars are expensive, they can get as expensive as a custom les paul soemtimes. :C
i know the cure used it and theyre alt rock. some art rock bands have used them. but ive never heard a metal band use one :P can you tell me one that uses a baritone? it sounds like itd be interesting
daron malakian used to have various ibanez iceman guitars, one of them was a baritone version. now he plays standard SG afaik, and sounds like crap imao.
btw, soad has more in common with (hardcore) punk-rock, than metal...
I've been reading about these guitars, fender jaguar baritone, I don't get what the tunings about, can you not have this guitar in normal tuning e to e. or would it sound crap.
youd need thinner strings, and then youd need to get it all set up again and everything...i dont know..but mabye there are different pickups aswell to go with the deeper sound?
@milodaman2 why would you use a barritone for Eb i would tell you to you a regular 22 fret scale guitar because i use a PRS barritone nd the tuners would get tight at Drop C
no, it's b e a d g c, so it would be an octave lower than a baritone guitar, i.e. an octave and a 4th lower than a normal guitar + a c instead of a b at the top string to keep the 4th between the strings constant (as one minor 4th serves for playing chords, but not for playing lines)
it is a 6 string bass, tuned like a guitar but an octave lower. The EADG strings are exactly the same as on a 4 string bass. Jack Bruce used one the first two Cream albums (Fender Bass VI on the first one and Danelectro bass VI on the second). >_>
Do you find you have much use for the Baritone really though? I've been thinking of getting one but I'm a bit woried it'd end up sitting in its case, never being played.

no, it's b e a d g c, so it would be an octave lower than a baritone guitar, i.e. an octave and a 4th lower than a normal guitar + a c instead of a b at the top string to keep the 4th between the strings constant (as one minor 4th serves for playing chords, but not for playing lines)

you can actually get strings to tune its like an octave lower guitar though but youd lose the extra low b-string lol

The Fender Jaguar has 4 different scale length:
24" 27" (the HH guitar) 28.5" (the custom baritone) AND 30" (the bass IV) Long neck+ fat strings gives you a low tone.

my band is just the drummer and me, so the baritone allow us to have a thick sound.
