Shop Baritone Guitars at Roxy Music
A baritone guitar is a type of guitar with a longer scale length (usually 27 to 30 inches) than a standard guitar, allowing it to be tuned to lower pitches. It bridges the gap between a standard guitar and a bass guitar, offering deep, rich tones perfect for heavy music, ambient textures, and alternative tunings.
Key Features:
- Tuning: Typically tuned lower than standard guitars, often in B-B or A-A, but it can accommodate various lower tunings.
- Scale Length: The extended neck and longer strings enable lower notes without losing string tension or clarity.
- Sound Profile: Full-bodied, resonant low-end with clarity in the mids and highs, ideal for genres like metal, surf rock, jazz, and experimental music.
- Versatility: Used for rhythm-heavy styles, cinematic soundscapes, or adding depth to recordings.
