Baritone

Posted by Trevor Martens Wong on January 17, 2018 at 6:46am

6 string baritone guitar that I just finished. Made entirely from reclaimed Teak and Balau wood which are common hardwoods in my country (Singapore).Built the neck with a zeroth fret to solve those pesky nut intonation problems. It also has a truss rod - I chiseled out the truss rod slot by hand then glued the fretboard over it. I had to cut the bridge I made into two pieces as well to intone the two higher strings properly. 27 inch scale length so I can tune it lower (C F Bb Eb G C)Features a piezo transducer and single coil that run through an active preamp that I designed with volume, gain and 3 band EQ.
