Baritone guitar

Common card · No. 230268

The baritone guitar is a guitar with a longer scale length than standard, typically a larger body, and heavier internal bracing which allows tuning to a lower pitch. The electric baritone guitar is a niche instrument with low popularity compared to other guitars, but is sometimes found in surf music; film scores, particularly spaghetti Westerns; some styles of heavy metal; and is dubbed "tic-tac bass" when used in country music to play in unison with a string bass or bass guitar.` Gretsch, Fender, Gibson, Ibanez, ESP Guitars, PRS Guitars, Music Man, Danelectro, Schecter, Burns London and many other companies have produced electric baritone guitars since the 1960s, although always in small numbers compared to other guitars. Tacoma, Santa Cruz, Taylor, Martin, Alvarez Guitars, Ovation Guitar Company and others have made acoustic baritone guitars.
