Yeah, the bridge it came with was crazy:

I think they were supposed to have bridge covers to hide that mess, but of course everyone lost them. The pickup in mine is also pretty microphonic, but... works for me, it's usually going through a couple fuzz pedals anyway.

A big part of the baritone coolness/sound differences is the longer-than-average neck.

I loved the way it sounds in my precision. OOMF for days. Need to get that up and going again. I actually have a lefty peavey milestone neck that I could make fit in that Kay body, but the pickguard/etc is long gone.

P-POW!
The stratty thing used to have a blacktop jazzmaster body, but I loved the strat body so much I flipped the JM body. Also the bridge is more stable than the TRAINWRECK that is on a blacktop Jazzmaster. I use this one for... uh, one song so far, by myself. But I plan to use it in Rot Box, my doom metal project.

The Tele thing is The Beast, my forever guitar. I use this for the baritone parts in The Ronald Raygun

The Gretsch is the 30" scale baritone/bass VI. I dont use it, but nobody has bought it yet.

^ how much are you asking?

Four strings, eh? What do you tune them to?

Yeah, it takes it further. But if it just takes a set of strings and some set up work to give new life to a guitar that's sitting around unused, it's silly to let the lack of the ideal setup stop you.

where'd you get the neck? i'd love to have a 24 fret strat that isn't a superpenis-i mean superstrat

this is mine. Italia Model D, strung u with Bass VI strings, tuned A to A an octave below.


With baritones I find you need to use a couple of pedals to get them sounding nice distorted. Go to right now is a Rat into a Supercollider with the gain down fairly low. But yeah I play black metal so...need lots of distortion to cover the fact that I can't trem pick very well haha.



CONCENTRATION FACE

I love the official "my arms are folded because fun is illegal" stance of black metal show-goers.

hardcore kids actually. 20 minute single song sets don't go down too well with that crowd.

What is the scale on the stratty guitar? is that a bass VI neck?
