This 2006 Linda Manzer Baritone comes to us with Koa for the back and sides, along with Spruce on top. It’s serendipitous that we received this instrument not long after Pat Metheny released his second solo baritone record, “MoonDial,” using, of course, a guitar crafted by Linda Manzer. This guitar features the Manzer wedge, which has such a positive impact on the comfort of playing a baritone. Tuner buttons and bridge pins made of fossilized walrus ivory, crafted by the one and only John Mickelson. With an Abalone inlaid rosette, this is otherwise a rather understated guitar, letting the natural qualities of the wood do all the talking. It comes with a really cool custom-colored Calton case. If you’ve been wanting to add a baritone to your arsenal, look no further.

Add to CompareBrand New Mountain Song Baritone, Cuban Mahogany/Italian Spruce
You want to feel a guitar all the way down to your toes, up to your head, then out the back of your spine? This Mountain Song ODJ Baritone will take you there. Ken Jones manages to make his Baritones feel and play like regular flattops, but boy does this one pack such a punch under the hood. Strong, clear, very powerful. 28.5″ scale really cranks up the crispness and definition, and Jones pairs up a Cuban Mahogany body with an Italian Spruce top for just the right alchemy of quick, woody fundamental in the bass and juicy trebles, plus hefty sustain. This Mountain Song Baritone pulls new and exciting music out of the player, and thanks to a soundport in the upper bout you can hear that oh so well while you’re in the thick of it. Add an arm bevel on the lower bout to maximize ergonomics, and you’re set! Snag this force of nature before it rumbles right back out the door.

One of the great benefits of owning a Baritone is the sense of newness and inspiration you get in your playing, with this Applegate you are sure to have heaps of new ideas and songs flowing from your fingertips.

Add to Compare2007 Beneteau Baritone Macassar Ebony/Sitka
This Baritone is the guitar equivalent of a 20oz porterhouse steak: at first glance it seems like too much, but after the first bite you know it’s a perfect fit. We don’t know what Marc Beneteau’s been feeding his regular guitars to make them grow up to be such impressive baritones, but the results are hard to miss. Juicy, fat trebles. Bass response with some meat on its bones. Sustain so prolonged you have to chase it away with a stick.
Marc put together this 2007 powerhouse with a shorter (in Baritone land) 27” scale and his M body (16 1/8” lower bout) in a Macassar Ebony and Sitka Spruce package—the Ebony and scale warm up the voice and keep it articulate, while the Sitka makes sure all those beefy overtones project well beyond the soundhole. There’s also a Laskin-style Arm Bevel and a soundport in the upper bout, and a McIntyre Feather pickup with which to make a splash into amplified territory. Played in nicely but in like new condition, this Beneteau Baritone is a delicious pièce de résistance you won’t want to miss out on.SOLD Read moreScale Length 27 in Nut Width 1.81 in String Spacing 2.31 in Woods Spruce - Sitka, Ebony - Macassar 
Add to Compare2006 Beneteau Baritone Brazilian/Bearclaw Adirondack
Here we have a custom Beneteau Baritone in Brazilian Rosewood and Bearclaw Adirondack(Red) Spruce. This is the cream of the crop in Baritone land and was originally commissioned by Paul Heumiller, owner of Dream Guitars. This Beneteau guitar has it all, beauty, tone, and playability… the Trifecta. It take a great luthier to be able to voice a Baritone guitar properly, they can often be voice to be muddy or to tight sounding. This Beneteau has hit the perfect balance, it has a gut rumbling bass presence and full sonorous trebles. It is a thing of beauty. Playabilty on a Baritone is a big issue, the longer scale can often make it feel like you are doing gymnastics, that is not the case here, the action is set nice and low, making this Bari play like a dream. This really is worth the tittle of ‘Dream Guitar.”

Add to CompareNew Beneteau Baritone Custom Fan Fret Padauk/Sitka
Marc Beneteau is known for his great baritone guitars with players like Don Ross and Dream Guitars owner Paul Heumiller playing them. They have amazing power, clarity and tons of tone. In fact Paul Heumiller provided the specs for this custom Baritone from Marc based on many he has played and enjoyed. First there is very rare Andaman Padauk for the body which always produces a clarity and presence that is sublime for the low baritone register. For the top Paul requested master grade Sitka for it’s power and overtones, this top is especially tight grained and silky. For versatility we made it a multiscale with a 28″ scale on the bass and 27″ on the treble. This setup allows for movement between many tunings and keeps the bass low and big while maintaining sweet and easy to play treble strings. To make it complete Paul added front and back BEVELS so it’s very comfortable and lovely touches such as the bound fingerboard with extension and the custom Spalted Elm Rosette. This is what we call a Baritone, an incredible Baritone!

Add to Compare2009 Berkowitz Baritone, Brazilian Rosewood/German Spruce
From 2009, we have a Berkowitz Baritone made of some outrageously nice Brazilian Rosewood and German Spruce on top. This classic fingerstyle tonewood combo really comes to life in the lower baritone register of this instrument. Quite often, a bespoke baritone guitar has a huge sound, but it also feels cumbersome, which can be a bit too much for some. This Baritone, however, plays much like a regular scale guitar. Speaking of which, this axe has a multi-scale: 28.625″ on the bass end and 27.5″ on the high end. Already equipped with a D-TAR magnetic pickup, this guitar is ready for the stage and studio. Along with bevels for comfort, this guitar features a Manzer-style wedge, which we absolutely love for large body guitars. Check out our demo and see this creature for yourself.

Add to Compare1995 Bown Baritone, Brazilian Rosewood/European Spruce
Here we’ve landed a true gem! What better way to explore a whole new kind of flattop experience than a Baritone, especially one built by the one and only Ralph Bown? This beauty comes to us from 1995, so has had a few decades of music under its belt and it’s wide awake. 28.5” scale means massive power, yet the setup remains easy on the hands. Richly colored Brazilian Rosewood back and sides pairs up with European Spruce on top, plus MOP diamond position markers for a touch of classic class. A Highlander IP-1 pickup carries all this powerhouse tone faithfully onto the stage, and a strap button at the center of the heel means you can strap in and save your back a bit to boot.

What a masterpiece. You’ve heard us rant and rave about the powerhouse guitar-building duo of Matthias Roux & Matthew Rice. This instrument continues that trend. Casimi guitars are synonymous with excellence in both visual and sonic mastery. This Baritone, made of The Tree mahogany and Moonspruce, is so powerful. It transcends the stereotypical ideas of a baritone guitar. Playing this guitar is powerful, and it feels like it emits the same energy as a concert grand piano. The Tree motif, stemming from the usage of The Tree as tonewoods, continues to set this apart. Look for yourself, and listen for yourself. A true work of art.

Add to CompareNew Mervyn Davis SSBT2 African Kiaat/Sitka
Mervyn Davis has created a fresh and exciting guitar design that is not only artistic and eye-catching but completely musical and practical. His Smoothtalker design concept features very stiff back and sides, not unlike what many modern makers are doing these days, and a fan braced Spruce top that because of the body design is extremely lively and responsive. Soundports in the waist and near the neck flood the player with the beautiful voice. The result of this design is an instrument with serious projection and extreme clarity. The trebles strings simply soar, with more density and volume than the average guitar. The bass is focused and clear also with profound power. This Smoothtalker Baritone is simply amazing, the even articulation up the entire fingerboard is very useful on a Baritone and allows every note to ring true. It easily goes down to low A and remains clear, not muddy at all. The Smoothtalker also comes ready for a pickup if you wish. This is an inspirational new design straight from South Africa.
