7/4 Posted May 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 (edited) The Loar LH-600-VS Hand Carved Archtop F-Hole Acoustic Jazz Guitar Comes with a custom featherweight case! Modeled after American designs from the early 20th century, The Loar's new archtop guitar is hand-carved from select, graduated woods and features a nitrocellulose lacquer finish and unparalleled acoustic projection. The Loar Hand-Carved Archtop (LH-600-VS) is an authentic replica of the original archtop acoustic guitars from the 1920's. This all-solid model features a top that is hand-carved from graduated spruce, and hand-carved back and sides made from highly flamed maple. The Loar LH-600 also features a hand-buffed, vintage tobacco sunburst finish with nitrocellulose lacquer for superior acoustic projection, a one-piece mahogany, Gotoh tuners and a compensated adjustable ebony bridge. With its exceptionally loud tone, carved body and vintage design, this new archtop took the NAMM show by storm this past January. Jazz players and archtop enthusiasts will love this professional model.

Shawn Posted May 11, 2008 Report Share Posted May 11, 2008 (edited) One of these days I'm going to get one of these, I've seen a few show up online used for around $500. I'm not sure if I want the drop 6 model, there is also a standard model which might be preferable. The Drop 6 version is designed to stay in tune even if you tune down as far as B or A. (I tend to use Drop C# tuning usually) RGXTTD6 Ty Tabor Signature Guitar/Drop 6 The RGXTTD6 boasts the same features as the RGXTT Ty Tabor Signature guitar, with the addition of Yamaha's new proprietary design known as Drop 6. This slightly longer scale length of 26 1/4" is perfect for players that demand ultra low tuning. Edited May 11, 2008 by Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7/4 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 There's other baritone guitars out there...I don't know how long those guitar necks are, but there must be cases for them too. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Well, my Explorer isn't exactly "easy" to find a case for! All I have is a specially made gig bag, never found a hard shell case it would fit comfortably in (at least not an affordable one). So this would actually qualify as a baritone guitar?

I always thought that a generic rectangular case for a Strat would fit, but then, I never really had to shop for one. So this would actually qualify as a baritone guitar? I guess so. They're just discussing a drop D tuning. I guess for it to be truly baritone, it would have to be all tuned down, like B-E-A-D-G-B. It's longer scale than a Strat (25" and change) Your guitar: This slightly longer scale length of 26 1/4" is perfect other examples from MusiciansNotYourFriend: the ESP LTD SC-607B 7-String Baritone Electric Guitar: 27" baritone scale Fender Baritone Special HH: Its 27" scale length allows it to be tuned B, E, A, D, F#, B Schecter C-1 EX Baritone Blackjack Guitar: 26-1/2" scale Ibanez MMM1 Mike Mushok Signature Baritone Electric Guitar: 28" scale mahogany/purplewood neck Edited May 12, 2008 by 7/4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe G Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Came very close to buying a baritone guitar last year. I think it was a Tacoma. Limited application, and some serious finger stretching (even with my long fingers), but they sure do sound cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I always thought that a generic rectangular case for a Strat would fit, but then, I never really had to shop for one. They are too long for regular cases by a good couple inches (it's the "fin" on the top that makes it so long). It actually doesn't fit exactly in the gig bag I have (the zipper won't close all the way) because mine is an E2 which is evidently just a tad longer. Thanks for the explanation of the baritone scale length. So that Yamaha is somewhere in-between. I can get my guitar to stay in tune but only as low as "C" and that requires me to use heavier gauge strings than I normally like. I actually buy those hybrid string sets with a heavier gauge string for just the low E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 I think that like a regular gtr or bass, a longer scale length makes it punchier. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluemonk Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Came very close to buying a baritone guitar last year. I think it was a Tacoma.

I never really understood what it was good for, it invades the range of the bass. If you don't have a bass player in the band, then it might be pretty useful to have one, so you can play in that range. Think about the Paul Motian Trio that features Bill Frisell on guitar. I would like to hear Frisell play the baritone, so he could round out their sound a little more, but I think he does a fine job with just electric guitar.
