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.

Ken Jones is one of the modern makers that really understands what a baritone guitar is and how to make one. It's no simple thing to make a big jumbo guitar that stays clear and balanced while being tuned down to Bb or A. This guitar features ancient Cuban mahogany which is the densest mahogany we have and it keeps the bass response really clear. The tight grained Italian Spruce makes for a wonderful separation as well and combined this is a baritone to be reckoned with.
