NBGD: New Baritone Guitar Day
It’s embarrassingly good. I don’t know how they did it, but it doesn’t feel like a cheap guitar. The neck feels great, and the setup was pretty good right out of the box. I lowered the action a bit, but that was all. Fretwork is excellent- no pokey bits at all. Pickups sound great too. The only things that let it down are a single nut slot that was too shallow, and the bridge saddle screws are a bit tall so are uncomfortable when palm muting. I’ve barely been able to put it down all week.
I may swap the pickups at some point, but only because I have some Fralins already.

Re: NBGD: New Baritone Guitar Day
the colour looks like day after a saag and the switch is in the wrong place. other than that it looks like a bloody good guitar.

Re: NBGD: New Baritone Guitar Day
yeah the switch is in the right place, saag is correct
This is the first guitar I've seen in 'Olive Drab'. If you ever built airfix kits, you'll know the colour well!

So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: NBGD: New Baritone Guitar Day
Yeah, that sucks. I don't especially like importing gear, but this one was just so much nicer looking that what's available locally, and cost me a little bit less, even with shipping.
