Guitar parts, assembly tips, guitar uses, song assembly tips. Aaron, time to get really brave and talk about how to assemble a band. You have nicely covered most other aspects 😀
I enjoyed this video, I must’ve watched virtually every baritone guitar demo on YT since I started planning for a Bari in 2019 😅 My Warmoth hybrid Strat Baritone finished in May this year is the cat’s whiskers! I ordered a flame maple on flame maple Tele neck with ‘59RB profile, extra lightweight swamp ash with a gold flake metallic finish. Gotoh hardware and Van Zandt True Vintage Tele bridge and Strat neck pickups. It’s fantastic and seriously twangtastic.
"Hmmmm, what am I going to play today ? Let's build it !" It sounds great, Aaron. I always love the tone and mood a baritone adds to the band. Very haunting and bad ass. They come out with a huge statement and hit you right between the eyes. There's no mistaking it for a banjo.
Nice job! Bold move to choose 7 but it was perfect for the lick. Nice job on drums too. Can’t tell if they’re real or programmed but that’s one if the great things about audio recording in 2024 isn’t it. Keep on Pickin’
The joke video about the Seymour Duncan 78's (or whichever year) aside, this is one of the best guitar channels on TH-cam. I'm pretty tired of the obvious synchronized marketing videos about the latest drive or delay pedal. To whatever extent, Warmoth is about bringing the creative process to the guitar itself as a piece of artwork, and it's nice to see the channel also explore the reciprocal side, the artistic process with the finished instrument.
For anyone wondering why one would use a baritone neck instead of tuning low with thicker strings on a shorter scale length, the reason is that string harmocity reduces as scale length shortens, string diameter increases, and string tension reduces. This means that the maximum harmonic clarity for a given tuning would be achieved by using the longest scale length one can play and a careful balance of high string tension with minimal string diameter (Where are my RPG min maxers?), such as using stainless-steel strings.
Some people have actually found that what sounds really really great, is if you get a baritone guitar but tune it up to standard guitar tuning. You'd need some very thin strings so that the strings don't snap on you if course. But yeah it just ends up sounding very different from a regular guitar in the same standard tuning. I guess it's like how Fender scale length guitars sound different from Gibson scale length guitars. Fenders just sound snappier. And a baritone tuned up to standard guitar tuning is just taking that concept even further. But yeah. My ideal band is to have a guitarist, a baritone guitarist, and a bass guitarist. Because few, if any, bands do that. So it'd sound very unique. Being able to play a chord on a regular guitar while another guy plays the same chord on a baritone, so it's a different chord shape, on a different part of the neck, it's a different inversion of the same chord, and so it gives a completely different kind of sound, it's wonderful. But it's hard to find people with baritone guitars. I guess I'll have to be that guy
Can you guys do an insta post or a video on the differences between how you guys define AAAAA, basic, and AAA quilt maple/ flame tops? I am curious as to which is right for my builds.
Those wood grades are used throughout carpentry; you probably can find the information you need by broadening your search to woodworking generally rather than guitars specifically.
I freakin love these warmoth videos. I'm about to purchase my 3rd Warmoth neck. The favorite beck that I own has a 81 to 94 neck profile in a C shape. Warmoth offers the Wolfgang neck profile which is similar but it's asymmetrical. Is that something that is easy to get used to after a while?
Good eye! That's a rare Fender "Hot Rod" P Bass. They only made them for about 3 years around Y2k. It originally came with a blender pot in that spot, but I hated it and switched it to a toggle.

Aaron is definitely the coolest dude to hang around! Aaron If you ever come by Greece hit me up i would love to hang around and definitely jam! 🤘🏻
Would absolutely love to visit Greece some day!
Aaron I have learned so much about guitars from your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
I was not expecting vocals!
This is cool Aaron, thank You. Really catchy song, congrats.

KEEP. ON. PICKING!
Arron these videos are so great and fun to watch! I'm currently waiting on a warmoth body and neck and am so exited to build it up!
Aaron, great job overall, and very impressive with the belting and smooth vibrato on the vocal performance
Brilliant song Aaron, proper 80's style classic rock.

LOL....definitely distinguishable from a banjo!

Nice job on drums too. Can’t tell if they’re real or programmed but that’s one if the great things about audio recording in 2024 isn’t it.

Thanks man. I used SD3 for the drums.

@@duffman18 You are correct that scale length is most of the difference.
I've had a number of baritone guitars for one purpose. I tune them down a full octave from E to E and use them as a short scale bass.
That tune is freaking awesome.
Thanks so much!
Ooh, and Mayfly's amp-box is featured as well. Very cool!
I used it for some of the clean guitars, but here's a little secret: it sounds KILLER as a bass preamp!
Yep! Loving that Mayfly Sunrise :)
Killer pre-amp! Highly recommended!
Aaron is there anyway you can show us side by side black dye vs washed black dye and blue dye vs washed blue dye. Or has this video already been done
Great guitar and a rather catchy song! 🙌
Wow! Great work!
Great demo and song.
Man. That was awesome!!!!
Thanks!

Mark Lettieri uses this a lot with great results
Damn, that's a bit of a banger there, nice job.
Thanks man!
Oooh, that Meadowhawk! The OG
Everyone should watch the perfect use of baritone guitar on ''Mew - Special [Live in Copenhagen]''

Check out this vid on asymmetric necks. I think they are easy to get used to! th-cam.com/video/Y6GkVT0heH4/w-d-xo.html
cool
If this sells a lot of bawwitone nex, you'll have another, new career. Rock on, Brother....
Show de bola ❤
🤘👍
Pumping my fist hard to this one thanks Aaron.
I'm not even listening to this type of music, but the song was good
Thanks!
Shall ye???
I shall!
Toggle on the P-bass? You don't see that often!
Good eye! That's a rare Fender "Hot Rod" P Bass. They only made them for about 3 years around Y2k. It originally came with a blender pot in that spot, but I hated it and switched it to a toggle.
I would say you don't see toggles on basses often, do you? A J-bass doesn't have one either. Usually. 🤨
