Okay couldn’t fight the urge last night after a few bourbons and ordered the Tele Baritone. I’ll report back when it’s in hand.

So my studio partner has the cheapie Dano and he gets a great sound out of it. But, it’s a maintenance hog and he has to fiddle with the neck twice a year. I’d like my own Baritone for home, and I don’t want it to be a toy. Thinking about maybe checking out the Reverend, people seem to like their stuff. Or, I could put a baritone neck in my MIJ strat, which I bright otherwise sell. But then, would I like my current pickups for that or is it a can of worms. Any thoughts? Oh, only twice a year? Actually, i'd imagine that has a lot to do with the weather environment where you live.
However understand this - there is NO other instrumet that has the same tone as the Dano. You want that, you deal with the quirks. I used to own a Fender Bass VI, first year of production, only 3 switches, not 4. NOT a substiture for a Dano. Great instrument in its own rite.
Yeah, you can put a Bari neck on your Strat, how it works out is not like any other style Bari guitar, but you might love it. Or not. Pickups? Dunno if I'd call it a "Cano wurms" - it's somewhat predictable. It WILL NOT sound like a classic Bari Tele.
Reverend is well respected, but I have not played one.
Understand, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A DANELECTRO, if you want thet sound. I could write you a small book (well, not quite) about why, but I'm feeling lazy.
Two hints.... - Grover Rotomatis. Second, the original brige with the floating rosewood saddle was actually a great bridge - but you must be careful that it doesn't shift when you change strings. In other words DON'T CLIP ALL YOUR STRINGS AT THE SAME TIME! Do it one at a time, so the damn saddle does not shift.
I actually love the original Dano bridges, once you understand them.

This is helpful, I definitely don’t want want a danelctro then. Danelectro does make a bari that has the all metal adjustable bridge. The funky, older-style bridge will have an effect on tone to a minimal extent. Not enough to outweigh the contributions of body construction, scale length, and pickups that mostly define that sound. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BTBM--danelectro-baritone-electric-guitar-black-metalflake |

A shop in Texas is selling that Classic Vibes Tele on Reverb for $375 new with free shipping. That's a pretty attractive price if you want to have a baritone on hand for now and again playing.

Got a direct link to that by any chance? I couldn't find any for less than $499. Thx. Fender had a sale during the Labor Day period. I believe it ended on Friday night. Major retailers had the Classic Vibe series down to about $300-$350. Proaudiostar had the cheapest prices down to $279. I grabbed a CV Jazzmaster and a CV 50s Tele during that time, and had to restrain myself from getting the CV baritone Tele. |

Why hasn't ANYONE done a 7 string Tele (real Telecaster, not a shredder shaped like a Tele) with a Low-B string added to it? And say a 25.5" scale length or optionally, a 26.5" or 27" scale-length?? I mean, this is a simple Gimme for any guitar maker to do. Fender, G&L, Suhr, Nash, etc There used to be 25.5" scale 7 string tele sold by Rondo Music under the Agile brand. They had a few offbeat extended range 6 string guitars in the lower mid price range for Korean-made guitars. I have a Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Baritone, now discontinued. It's tuned to A standard and I think the the 30" scale length helps with the intonation. I had been looking at the Fender Blacktop HSS Tele Baritone at the time, but read that some users had trouble getting the intonation set on the low string with its 27" scale. I've thought about adding a Gretsch Electromatic Jet baritone with mini humbuckers, but I have to remind myself that I don't need any more guitars. I also got a Vintage Modified Baritone Jazzmaster - awesome guitar. I got mine last year, managed to find essentially a new-old-stock version from an importer here for a grrleat price. I was looking at Tele types too but the Jazzzmaster quenched my baritone thirst. I'm curious what strings you use on yours? Even without a setup or new strings it kept tune and intonation impressively well. |

I think the gauges either match or are close to the factory set. |

I just add a 19 20 or 21 plain string for the G, since I don't like a wound G string - I like to be able to bend it in tune. |

I grabbed my Danelectro Bariton a couple of weeks ago to add some texture to a song. That thing is still solid. It sits most of the time in a cheap gig bag, but is often pretty close to in tune when we take it out, and always tunes easily and sounds great.
That said, some of the other baris mentioned in this thread do seem pretty cool.
