A Mid-Century Style Baritone Designed to Break New Ground

With its '56 single cutaway body, "Tape" binding, and Snow Metal Flake finish (silver metallic sparkle gray), this guitar embraces a strongly retro aesthetic. Its luthiery recipe, based on Isorel for the top and back combined with a central block and poplar sides, aims to balance resonance, lightness, and sound sustain, while maintaining a playing feel close to that of a modern electric guitar.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This baritone electric guitar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to explore lower tunings, thicken an arrangement, or find an inspiring alternative to a standard 6-string. It fits very well in genres where definition is essential: alternative rock, surf, indie, ambient textures, clean and articulate heavy riffs, or low rhythmic parts that need to remain clear in the mix.

Sound Characteristics

The 29.75" / 756 mm scale adds extra tension that improves precision in the lows, with a sharper attack and better-controlled sustain in low tunings. The maple bolt-on neck promotes a quick response and a snappy feel, while the pau ferro fingerboard helps maintain definition and balance. The combination of Isorel (top/back) and poplar (central block/sides) delivers a resonant, lively character with some "airiness" in the midrange. The 2 high-impedance lipstick pickups provide an expressive and direct sound: neck position offers more warmth while retaining articulation; bridge position delivers more bite; the middle position broadens the spectrum for full and punchy rhythms. The volume and tone controls, combined with the 3-position selector, allow quick shifts from bright cleans to denser, textured tones.
