I bought the squier baritone because I wanted a low boi that people could actually buy, AND THEN THE DANG THING SOLD OUT!!! I expressed my woes to Sweetwater and they agreed to line me up with the Gretsch G5260T Electromatic Jet Baritone, but will I like it as much as the Squier? Tune in to find out.

This is why you're one of my favorite reviewers, you think how I think.
1. "I gotta stick some fuzz on this."
2. "I wonder what my neighbors think about these weird sounds coming out of my house?"
Same wave length!!☯️
Won't you be my neighbor?
I didn't realize it until after about 200 videos, but you are THE MASTER of the Pink Panther riff, the James Bond riff, and the Inspector Gadget riff... 😖😖😖
Spaghetti Western riffs
Bless you for reviewing with actual clean tone
It's a Gretch. Ever since I bought my Jet 10 years ago my Les Paul never sees the light of day. They are such an under appreciated brand. My son has 3 and just pounds on them. He has a jet and two hollow bodies.
I just bought my first Gretsch about a month ago. It's the G5230T Electromatic in airline silver. I love it.
I have the hardtail of this baritone. Only issue I have is resonant string noise - I need to find some foam. How are the hollow-bodies?
Very true. I have the 3 pickup g5622t I think? A bad ass green with 50’s teardrop centerline hollow body shape.
It’s insane and I only paid 200 for it.
Was a wall hanger some rich dude had and the set screw was loose on volume so he thought it was shot. lol
He wanted 500 cause it was never played and he had case and all the case goodies. His wife just bought as something to look at 😳. Neither played.
I noticed the screw and offered $200 cause I had that much on me. He took it.
Got home, screwdriver tightened set screw…. it and it’s perfect.
I set it up. Worth 200 😂
But I want this 30 inch. Ideally im a Fender guy. And I love jaguars. I play bass too and tried a squire bass vi but I can’t stand squire ESPECIALLY WHEN GRETSCH electros are so cheap and insanely well made for very little more.
My Tele partcaster warmoth neck is defective. Might just make that into a 63’ baritone lol.
I know they don’t exist but I made mine to match a 60-63 tele. Allparts has b srock necks cheap with dings or ugly spots but only cosmetic blems…
Well I been relicing fenders for 20 years.
A blem at 1/3 the cost to me is almost wanted cause I am gonna blemish it a whole lot more 😆
Also, unlike fender or Gibson, you can actually afford 60s era vintage. All killer, no filler brand across every price range.
Gretsch is just awesome and the reason why is because they arent as popular
@@nitroxylictv Im not surprised that Hank Hill plays Gretsch.
I have a standard size guitar that I converted into a baritone tuned guitar, as I enjoy the low pitch. I've since converted that guitar back to standard tuning, and have started using the "Poly Capo" block on my HX Stomp to switch to baritone pitch. Works pretty well, can be instantly done, and doesn't change the string length or require another guitar and strings. Technology to the rescue.
You raving about baritones makes me want to get one. Enabler.
Get one. It is loads of fun. Far more fun than a couple new pedals.
So true
I almost exclusively play baritone. They're so cool.
Don't be a poser. Try one out because you're genuinely curious. Not because TH-cam told you to
I don't know if it's the guitar, the set up, or the dude, but the combination is making great sounds!
☯️
Sounds great! I just bought my first Gretsch recently. It's a Streamliner Jet Jr. Humbucker/ P-90. I love it. Built like a tank!
Good in depth review Ryan, thank you, much appreciated! Been wanting a baritone for a long time and this I think is the one! I like the fact that Gretsch keeps the Gretsch name even on their import models, unlike Fender/Squier or Gibson/Epiphone. Not that it's a deal breaker, but still very nice.
Just picked one up today and I love it I have the non tremolo version it looks and sound amazing and the build quality is good as well Thanks for the great input and cool video!!!
The $100 drop in price was why I got the hard tail lol
As a bass player by trade and a studio guitar geek that may just be the ticket. I just wish the jade gray version also came with the wiggle stick. That would have me sold for sure.
Look into a Duesenberg Les Trem for it!
@@mbrooks0711 not the original poster, but I'm in a similar situation with the London Grey. Buying one of these on yoru recommendation!
I am both a guitar and bass player
Wax chillin in a shop one day and they had all vintage used gear.
We used to jam there a lot; as the owner played everthing.
His son was playing the drums, so I grabbed a Bass VI squire and didn’t realize it was a bass vi till I felt 6 strings. Was the “pawn” version.
Let me just say, I have this thing about Squire. I am a fender freak and can’t stand cheesy fender.
Like I want nitro lacquer vintage spec correct herl truss if it’s gonna be called vintage it should be vintage spec 🤷🏻♂️
Anyways…. That thing…. It played like my geddy Lee mij bass.
After we jammed the owner told he to tune it open like I play my guitars and throw Verb on….😮😮😮😮
Dude… it’s a bass and the baddest rhythm guitar ever ever.
I am a rhythm player. This thing through my Shoegaze board was insanity with a rubberneck delay and stereo reverb.
Let’s just say if I could only have one guitar as a bass/guitar player.. a baritone like the bass vi is ideal.
This longer 30” scale is what I’d get though, cause I have a bass and plenty of guitars.
Also, he called this a squire line.
No.
Yes, price wise.
But an electromatic and epiphone are in another league - as in better than Squire.
The bass vI and Tele baritone being the standouts as that pawn shop did sound good. And mij squire is nicer than American of today 😆… big overall nothing close to the quality in parts of epiphone and Gretsch.
Let’s just put it this way…
Most squire guys pay 350 for the guitar and swap out like all of it. 🤷🏻♂️ making it a 600 or more guitar.
I never think of that with a Gretsch electro or epiphone. Only squires… and I own none. Other that love em ALL say “but… I swapped this this this this …”
Then just buy a Mexican made that are imo better than American these days.
It’s the new MIJ
This is one of the first electric guitar demos that made me go wow in a long time.
☯️
I don't know anything about baritones, but my first "good" guitar is a Gretsch Electromatic and I do love to play it
I bought one a few month ago. Fantastic quality for what you pay. A great instrument. Also have a Japanese made duo jet. I think its the best made guitar i own.
For some reason every time I hear this guitar I just sit back and relax…hopefully it has that same effect when it’s in my hands in a few weeks. ☺️
I'm going to buy one now. I love the midnight sapphire blue.
Am definitely impressed by the Gretch. I think the 30-inch scale length would be my choice over the 27-inch scale. It would be cool to see in "P-bucker" pickup replacement at the bridge of the Squier. Just a thought.
I just picked up the hardtail version and am loving it!
Great. Started guitar four months ago at 51 yrs old and now have six electrics (LP/strat/super-strat/tele/semi-hollow body and a generation EXP with piezo) and one acoustic. I thought I had my bases covered, but now must have baritone! thanks =/
You definitely don’t need 6 guitars if you started 4 months ago lol. But I am jealous. 😂
I have both 27" and 30" scale baritones in my stable and they're very different beasts! Any serious baritoner should look at both scale lengths because they each offer such contrasting possibilities. Fortunately you can still pick up reasonable deals (around $400?) on used Dano baris, which are all 30" scale I think, but the tone of their lipstick pups push them up nicely a bit in the twang dept. That Gretsch sure sounds sweet, and I love the Bigsby (I have one on my bari Tele).
You make a good point mentioning string tension and gauge; the feel and performance of a bari is greatly affected by one's choice of tuning and appropriate string gauge.
My 30" bari is an 8 string that I built on a Bronco bass platform. It's still a 6 course, but the middle two strings have octaves (similar to some Taylor 8 string acoustic baris - you should hear those!). It has an old Dano lipstick at the bridge and a 60s Teisco goldfoil towards the center/neck. Wish I could post a pic...
As you can see, I'm a bit of a bari freak; Squier really needs to get another reasonable and quality baritone offering coming down the pike ASAP.
I modded a squier cabronita bari neck to fit an affinity jazzmaster and it’s sweet but I’m still trying to decide what kinda pickups I wanna replace the stock ones with. Squier didn’t have enough baritone options so I had to make one
Hearing about your custom bari was really neat! I've thought about octaving a couple strings like that before but it's kinda hard to get a nut/bridge for that lol
Awesome to hear that you have your own personal thing!!
I think it sounds incredible. Having said that, if you decide to sell the Squier, I'm all in. I'll buy it for sure.
Another vote for a future video using this as a bass vi!
Time stamp: 13:54 ... "I'm gonna do what people want to hear. I'm gonna hit the fuzz" - so good Ryan - you rock!
Ryan. You will want to break out the small flathead screwdriver and play with the screw tops on the pickups. The secret to unlocking more tone out of stock Electromatic pickups is to play with the screw pieces. Not only the pickup height but especially the individual screws. This unchokes the pickup and gets more tonal options. I did this on my Gretschbuckers on my Ibanez Artcore (they were hanging around after I put TV Jones in my 125th Anniversary Electromatic) and it was a total night and day change. You will get more chime and articulation in doing that.
You might also want to try the penny trick on the Bigsby where you swap out the nylon washer for a penny (bonus points if its the same year as the guitar!) Also try stepping on the new spring 30 or so times to wake it up. Hope these help.
I got rid of Gretsch knobs and use Dunlop straplocks. My preferred straplocks.
PS- The pickups are the same footprint as Rickenbacker Toaster Tops or they used to be. My guess is they still are.
That first strum...... Whoa! NICE tone! I like it.
I got the green hard tail version in a sale and it is awesome.
I really like the look of all 3 baritones you have. I’ve only heard 2 of them plugged in and both sound killer.
These are strap locks, i have them on my Electromatic. Take them off, put your strap under them and put the Pins back on the guitar :-)
Yes, icing on the cake!!! ☯️
I got one just like it a few months ago. It's an inspiration machine. A trippy spaghetti-western journey. Yes, lower the action from the factory. The one minus... it weighs a TON.
its like 9 lbs if i had to guess.
@@60CycleHumcast so it stands... a ton it is. 🙃
@@60CycleHumcast Mine weighed in at 9.5lbs
My custom Jazz bass that I made entirely out of Purpleheart weighs 18 pounds 😂
This through the fuzz is absolute tone goals, good god.
First, that looks great. The silver and black is nice. Second, tuning to ‘A’ seems great for the 30” scale. Third, I’d love some actual Filtertrons or Powertrons instead of the mini-humbuckers. Fourth, the ambient stuff @ ~28:00 sounds really, really good. Stay grounded.
Thanks Ryan My Gretsch is being delivered tomorrow,loved the recommendation
Nothing sounds better than a baritone with drippy surf reverb. It's primal. IMHO though, unless you're playing heavy metal, fuzz isn't the best effect to use on a baritone. It destroys the voice in the mix, again,... my opinion. I like hearing the distinct undercurrent of a good rhythm pulsing and driving the sonic landscape. I have a Hagstrom Viking semihollow Baritone in a burst finish. I just love the piano-like chime. Great for dark ambiance. Duane Eddy used it in the early days and a lot of guitarists started to apply baritone to country, surf, spaghetti western soundtracks, and more recently heavy metal. I think it's underutilized in surf music and has more potential for creating a mood under the waves, like a Jules Verne theme track or a new 'Rickover's Dream' (Michael Hedges - RIP)
You can definitely use fuzz on a baritone if you want to DOOM but you need the right fuzz
I have this axe and LIKE IT... I tried it tuned to A and to B and like A better... I got mine for $599 with free shipping from a dealer on Reverb some months ago... I wish I could find a correct roller bridge for it. I wish I could find the Squier bass vi with wiggle stick in Olympic white for $499... You can get them in black NEW for $499! I’d set it up as a baritone.... I enjoy your channel Ryan, and the way you explore, like with that Wampler !
Diggin the heck out of this Gretch! Excellent sound and price point!
As it comes to other baritone-sized necks, Warmoth makes Strat and Tele baritone conversion necks at 28.6" length. That would put you halfway between the Gretsch and the Tele - you just need a few hundred bucks and a vintage spec body to bolt it to.
Fender also sells conversion necks. 27” and 22 frets. The warmoth necks are 24 frets. If this specs matter to you
30” scale, that’s just a short scale bass with extra strings! As a 14 year bass player, I suddenly find myself wanting one! You always have interesting ways to get my GAS going. Thanks, I think 🤣
Nah, not really. Baritone guitars play much more like regular guitars than bass... They're great, and fun to play (I have a baritone acoustic) but if you've only played bass and don't know chord shapes and such, you're not going to be able to just pick it up. You're going to want to learn how to play guitar first.
@@cloudshad0ws a bass vi is a short scale bass....
@@Ramble1234 ok... But that's different than a baritone guitar.
I ordered it as I do not have baritone to cover some heavier stuff. It was on back-order for a while but is now shipped to me. Hope to give my 2 cents on it soon.
This guitar makes a great Bass VI with a set of Ernie Ball 2837 strings. They are .20 - .90 with guitar size ball ends and narrow winding at the tuner end so no issues or modification needed to the bridge or tuners. Just need to file the nut.
I have a Bigsby-less version and strung it up as a Bass VI. Works great. Only the wiring/pots needs some work. Quite noisy.
I own one and I am very happy with it. Good video you made here! Thanks.
I already got the Cabronita Telecaster Baritone, stop being so good at making me want things, RYAN!
The G5620 (non-trem) has been in my sights for 6+ months. I keep buying other guitars though. LOL. Going to put D'Addario EXL156's on it (24/84s) as Luca Lanza did. Tune it E to e. Sounds absolutely beautiful. I discovered the Gretsch after I saw the Squier on Trogley's page and couldn't get one. Tried and tried. Said "I wonder if my #1 maker has one.' Sure enough they did. Was once marketed as a Bass VI, but they called it a baritone later in life.
The best guitar playing bout in recent times on guitar/gear orientated YT channels.
Squier B is impossible to get in Canada, Even when it first came out
I might actually have to pick one up to use with my bass rig. I'm mostly playing Doom Metal and Acid Rock nowadays and this thing is perf.
Dude! That three or four minute jam from 27:06 was ethereal butter. Sweet man.
I have a Schecter ultra 6 I bought 10-12 years ago. I tune e standard 1 octave down. Strings are 85-20 if I recall correctly. It plays smooth, has good clarity, a very versatile instrument. I like it because I can venture into the upper octave of the standard tuned bass guitar and the lower octave of the standard tuned guitar.
When these originally came out they were tuned like Bass VI. They changed it to baritone tuning when Squier put out an Bass vi. Wether it was connected I dont know, but it was about the same time.
I really regret not getting that Squier when I had the chance. Ended up gettin the Gretsch non wiggle stick version. Would jump on the Squier of they were to bring them out again. The Gretsch was initially designed as a Bass VI I read somewhere
I got one of the originals, when they were set up as Bass VI.....It still is...I love it.....It does sound nice as a Baritone.....
That scale length is nearly a BASS VI, makes me think you could probably tune a Bass VI to at least A-A with the right string guage. I love how Bass VI looks and who doesn't love 3 jag style pickups, thats one more than a jag.
Reverend Descent W can be bought fairly easily. Great baritone.
man that bit at 30:38 with the warbling was AWESOME!
30" baritones feel huge, can confirm. The old Jazzmaster baritone from Squier that goes for a crazy amount now is a 30" just like the bass VI and feels pretty massive. I waffle back and forth on whether I wanna sell mine for a 27 or 28" bari, especially since I could get a nice one with what I could get for the VM Jazzmaster.
I will say that I tune my JM A to A (which is evidently what they shipped in?) and I like A standard a lot more on the 30" scale than B standard. Either way I am looking forward to Ryan's doom metal album that's all fuzzed out baritone.
I put a baritone conversion neck on a squier affinity jazzmaster so it’s a 27inch jazzmaster it’s pretty cool, I have it tuned to A#FCFAC
I've never owned or played a gretsch but I'm wanting one for a while now.
Which Gretsch model do you think you’d like to have? The Electromatics are good, but I really LOVE my Country Gentleman! They’re expensive, but if you try one that’s properly set up, you’re gonna love it.
I have a Danelectro baritone, and I have tried fender VI stings. It works, as it is also 29-3/4” in scale. The low E is a little flubby, but it works. But overall, these are best tuned to B.
Do you mean the Danelectro baritone is best tuned to “B” all the time, or just when using bass six strings, What can you do with a real baritone grr you can’t do with say a Fender bass six? And vice versa? Do you really Need one of each to avoid compromise? Thanks. Mark in Mass.
@@h.markhorton8188 I find, with this scale length, that tuning to B gets the best of both worlds: you can riff in the guitar and bass realm, but chords still sound pleasing. Those are D’Addario baritone strings I use, personally.
Fender VI strings are just a littler too low. They still work, but I was hoping to get a short scale bass sound, and that wasn’t my experience on the Danelectro. But, you can buy a set and try. I didn’t find the tension to be that different, so I didn’t bother with a set up.
@@h.markhorton8188 th-cam.com/video/c54JdXzl2t0/w-d-xo.html
This is my band, using two baritones, tunes to B.
That tremolo and reverb sound is ~C H E F F K I S S~
After looking at what was available, and learning that most of those I liked were around the $800 range, I decided to build a Tele bari.Inspired by the Squier, but I got to choose the bridge, pickups, and color.
Combining a used Seafoam CV tele, and a WD music ( Rosewood Tele) neck, - string through, with nice, heavy , brass saddles. For under $450, I'd put it against any high end model going.
Not so long ago, pre Covid, you couldn't find a good baritone neck under 250/300 shipped; this made home conversions more prohibitive. But these days, I see them at $ 150 shipped all the time.
From what I've learned building over a dozen Partscasters, it's all about the quality of the neck, bridges, and pick ups( needn't be expensive, just not cheap garbage), - with tuners that aren't trash.Do the set up right, find a look that appeals to you, - you're all good.
At 28" scale, you can easily get A or G out of it; I've never tuned to E Standard, and am use to heavier strings and lighter tension.
I have one of these in bass vi tuning. It works great and I can capo up to get into standard baritone territory if I want.
Greetings from Germany! I really enjoy your videos and your personality
New to your site. Great job on the in depth review. Thanks!
I bought a PRS SE Steve Muchon baritone. It's a really nice sounding and playing instrument, and I paid around $700 for it, which is a lot of money for me. But it's been worth every dime. I didn't want to get on the PRS train, but I did. I, also too, love the Fireballs from Sweetwater.
I'm sure the Squier is a fine instrument (we have a better-than-expected Tele 60's CV), but I thought the Gretsch blew the baritone out of the water. My son saw this and not only bought the Cherry finish Baritone on the spot, but got it from Sweetwater for the first time, so that play worked about as well as the company could have hoped ;-). By the way for anyone interested, a simple call to Sweetwater brought the price on this down to $530, which seemed very reasonable.
530 for the tremolo version or hardtail version?
@@kibs1142 Hardtail.
After reading the comment that it was originally marketed as a bass vi, I really want to see how it does restrung. The tele is unbelievable for the price but if the gretsch can convert to a bass vi easily, I'd buy one. Thanks!
You opened Pandora's Box when that Fuzz kicked on! Hahaha! Such an amazingly classy instrument though. I like the black one alot too. Would love to own one eventually. How cool are those Bigsbys too. I'm usually a hardtail fan. But those Bigsbys are awesome, They look super cool too.
Why why why did I click on this? I've lusted over one of the Duane Eddy Bass VIs for years and this is, well, something I can buy. So I did.
Deeply desirable for me!!! I love the tones just as they are, I wouldn’t swap the pickups.
Great in depth with what she’s (the Gretsch g260T) capable of!
What did you say you were using to get those psychedelic sounds )not to be bothersome but I must know)?!
I love the Gretsch g5260T electromatic!
Thanx for also tuning down to A! 🤘🏻
Joyous blessings!!! ☯️
That's a beautiful thing!
You might want to try raising the neck pickup (or the poles) so it matches the volume of the bridge.
Came from your EART guitar unboxing- must say, I miss on this Gretsch a tighter bottom end and a bit of sparkle... 🤷🏻♂️
edit: oh , just noticed it's a baritone Gretsch... so, my comment above is kinda obsolete...😏
Hi Ryan Enjoy Gear Street... You can Britten up the dark muddy tone if you raise the pick-ups till they appeals to you
Hey Ryan - hot tip from a guy that got sick of the rigid action of the Bigsby on his Gretsch baritone - check out Brigg's Bigsfix. Difference is night and day. Have fun.
I played one in the store, and am a little surprised at how quiet the neck pickup is compared to the bridge. I read online that it cannot be raised without taking it apart.
That fuzz will drive termites and roaches out of every house on the block.
Make sure you shield the electronics cavities on these Electromatic Baritones. It makes a world of difference. I don't know why Gretsch foregoes that step in production.
don't think I ever saw you play that guitar again O_O
I’ve bring it out from time to time.
I have a Gretsch Electromatic Jet from a couple of years ago, and I love it. If I was going to buy a pre-built baritone, this would be the one. It's been in their lineup for over a year or more. (though I might buy a subsonic neck from Fender and add it to a strat that I have with a f'd up neck.)
As a lover of fender guitars, you'll find gretsch and dano guitars to be perfectly at home.
Please don’t curse!
@@continentalaquatics2725 Stop being such a goodie gumdrop.
@@williamrusso3130 You will be sorted!
Bassy, it sure is! You can get trombone tones out if it.
Looks nice, but doesn't seem like there's a lefty. May have to stick with Danelectro for a baritone. Though if Gretsch ever offers the lefty, I'd much prefer it, I think.
Didn't realize that I was lucky in getting ahold of one of those squires
3:48 oh god please do it i was thinking about it the entire time whilst watching
edit: i'm curious what a goldfoil baritone/bass six sounds like
35:30 sold me on that guitar.
Great review! As soon as you kicked on the reverb on the Gretsch I was sold. Just curious: Is there an option for a whammy bar on the Squier? A baritone without a whammy bar seems naked to me
I just got one of these earlier this month. So far I love it. It just sounds so powerful. The guitar just vibrates your whole body as you hit those lower notes.
However I noticed a dramatic difference between the volume of the bridge and the neck pickup. I hear the same thing on yours. Normally I’d just raise the neck pickup to get the volume close to the bridge, but those two screws just loosen the pickup, they don’t raise the height.
The only other thing, I wish the tone knob reduced the bass instead of the treble. But that might change if I could raise that neck pickup.
I wonder how hard it would be to put risers under the pickups
@@60CycleHumcast I’m wondering that too. And what those risers would even look like. I wrote Gretsch asking for advice and have not heard back yet.
I want it. That baritone Squier Tele looks real cool,
Those Squiers are still available in Australia for AUD $799 for the Classic Vibe and AUD $679 for the Squier Paranormal. Colours are limited though.
Played this up against a Danelectro Baritone for $200 cheaper, and the Danelectro was a clear winner. The specific guitars I tried were both very similar in build quality (I'd imagine Gretsch is a little more consistent, but I don't know) but the single coils just worked better for the extended range, the Gretsch felt very flat and dull on either pickup. An affordable baritone with a Bigsby is sick though, that's the only thing I really wish the Dano had.
that clean trem and reverb giving hella James Bond vibes
I was stoked with the shape, the slightly wider nut, the Bigsby longest spring you'd use, and etc until it was 30" .
That's bass guitar territory.
It sounded like a bad bass, no matter the string tension. 27's the magic number. For interest, a subsonic Stratocaster's way better sounding and it can go to even more extremes with pickup selection & combinations.
And, you noticed it sat kind-of uncomfortably even with the bigsby counterweight. A 28 1/2" scale Jaguar baritone is also somewhat out-of-
reach and bass-ey. Go up to an actual 4 string bass and everything - the strings, the tension, the dynamics, are all like they should be imo
I think the volume/tone imbalance between the pickups could be improved by raising/lowering them. Also, I’m hearing a huge string volume difference between the plain & wound strings. For that, angle the pups and adjust the pole pieces.
Streamliner is The Gretsch, squire epiphone line. Electromatic’s are made in Korea and great.
This one is made in china
@@60CycleHumcast my entire world is blown. It still sounds great. I’ve been debating picking up the hard tail one.
@@gorlagOv
When I went to buy an electromatic late last year I found both variants.
My research told me that eventually they'll all be Chinese sometime soon as Korean production was eventually ceasing. Some models within the line were always (in recent times anyway) Chinese (I can't recall which now).
Cheers. 🎸
@@nostro1001 I have an electromatic hollow body 5420T from 2016. It’s one of the first year they pinned the bridges. Quality is very good. It’s made a in Korea. I have noticed a lot of brands are moving away from Korea, to China and Indonesia.
Have a good one!
@@gorlagOv Yup..nice...I assume the cost of Korean made, exceeds that of Chinese or Indonesian made. I have no doubt your Korean made is excellent quality.
I just wonder whether the consistency of both Chinese and Indonesia can match that of the Korean.
I assume when it's down to business, it's simply bottom line and companies are happy to live with perhaps slightly varied production qualities & eat up the odd returns that may occur due to inferior products.
Cheers. 😃
Seems like Fender killed off the Squier Paranormal line, including the Baritone Teles, Offset Teles, etc.
Their website only has Super-Sonic and Cyclone now, this is really sad... :(
it was a limited run.
@@60CycleHumcast I see... Well, hopefully some shops will still have them here in stock later this year.
People don't seem to care about offsets or unique looking guitars here, for some reason.
Check official Loathe - Gored (Guitar Playthrough)
to see how low this instrument can go :)
Honestly, Loathe is why I want one of these (and Andrew Baena, but he got one bc of Loathe)
I have the new Squire baratone. Never played it yet. Still has the free lessons label on the pick guard. This video makes me want to play it. Thanks.
Where do you get your Bigsby springs? Which sound do you like better - the Squier or the Gretsch? I’ve always been a Gretsch guy, and this baritone doesn’t change that.
You should start a doom band! That sounds gnarly with fuzz!
Tension or lack of tension on Key of A on its scale 29" Gretch brought less round and more Twang sound...like you asked I heard a huge increase in twang when you dropped tension a whole step.
YOOOOOOO this thing sounds rad with some reverb.
