Hello, I was wondering if Andy, or anyone else for that matter, had any suggestions for an entry level (or slightly higher) baritone guitar. I consider myself capable at the guitar, but not quite up to the league of some. I had looked at the websites for companies like Andrew White and others that Andy had listed on his website, only to learn that they are sorely out of my price range. Anyways, and suggestions or advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ah, thanks for the lead. Didn't see that post before when i did a little bit of digging, hate to be a repeat. Anyways, thanks again!

As Mr. Titus suggested elsewhere, you can easily create your own "short-scale" baritone by popping some baritone strings on a standard scale 6 string. After all, that's what Michael Hedges did for his "low-strung" guitars (Lowden and Takamine).

Try a set, and if you like it, take the guitar in for a setup to adjust the intonation, and you have a baritone.

After a long search, I was able to find an acoustic baritone for 350 dollars.

Can anyone provide any insight as to the quality of this instrument? The inquiring minds of students in debt would like to know!

Here are a few links for you... some good, some bad:

Anyone played the danelectro baritone. I haven't played my electric guitars in quite a while(!) but this one sounds good as long as the neck is wide enough for real guitar playing!

If you're looking for an acoustic, you'll probably have to drop about a grand.

If you're looking electric, there are a few models that are less:

Fender Jagmaster Baritone (about $650-$700)
Agile AL-2800 ($340)
Agile AB-3500 ($430)

I hope that helps.
