Awesome sounds! Gretschs are so damn beautiful
I've been passively looking at baritones myself. One day I'd really love to get a guitar dedicated for lower tunings, but I use .052-.012 for E standard and open G. I can't seem to find a regular set of strings that don't feel all floppy to me even in C tunings.
Is there a big difference in the length of the neck?

And it´s lighter than my normal guitar, which is probably because it´s not very topoftheline- I paid the equivalent of 700$ for it. Don´t know how that sounds to you, but over here it´s pretty cheap. Fenders go for 1200, highway 1 ones. The reason I went for this one instead of, let´s say, a jaguar baritone is that this can actually double as a bass (in some situations, I´m sure metalmariachi would kill if I ever tried to act like a real bassist) and it has so many string options. If I want a normal baritone I can just change the strings. And it´s not made only for metal people
About the string gauge, I understand totally. Noodle strings below 0.11 is terrible (for me)
