I'm looking at converting an old Squier Tele beater into a baritone for a new band. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where to get a reasonably-ish priced one? Not too keen to spend Warmoth money on a $300 guitar!
Thanks!

You can run a tele in baritone tuning, mine is in drop A with 13-62 strings on it.

Re: Baritone Neck Recommendations
^ Yeah you'd mostly be alright with 25.5" scale and heavier strings unless you need to go below A or something. It will intonate just fine down to B.

Yeah, I've done a fair bit of down tuned stuff in the past but it doesn't seem to have quite have the same same sound as a baritone when you're playing through a clean amp.jeremyb wrote:You can run a tele in baritone tuning, mine is in drop A with 13-62 strings on it.
