best buy baritone on the market
After a long search, online and in local shops I found a baritone for me, I didn't want to spend way too much money on a baritone guitar because for me that is a novelty, something I want to play with and explore possibilities of lower notes after owning a couple of regular guitars.
Everything that I liked visually was way out of my budget, and everything that was the acceptable price was made for metal subgenres that are not my cup of tea, I prefer classy vintage-looking instruments.
so when I've seen Instagram posts of MR baritone with P90, long scale, and this retro look I thought it's gonna be way more expensive than it is...
I was not disappointed when it arrived, nice vintage sound of the p90 magnets, gorgeous retro looks, and surprisingly good balance for such a long neck,
The only downside, in my opinion, is that MR baritone comes only in sunburst color, but that is just me because I have way too many sunburst guitars so I wanted something different, candy apple red would be nice.
All in all very nice instrument, ergonomically and sound vise,
and for that price, it's the best.

Great guitar for it's price
Quite good for a price range, looks and feels very solid and has a great sound if you are in to lower tone sort of a stoner rock music.
I would personally prefer strings a bit closer to the mech and pickups what I will do in the nearest future and need to figure out something with tuners as guitar goes out of tune quite quickly.
Apart from that it's a great guitar for it's price to my opinion.

Classy and Unique
The second I saw these were coming out I was thrilled to finally find a mosrite style guitar at a good price. I have a few HB guitars now and they all have been great quality, even when compared to a few of my Fenders and Guilds.
Basically the M classic Baritone covers everything I wanted. Big low tuned tones, the pickups arent noisy, infact quieter than a few of my strat style single coils. I wouldnt mind a bit more GRRR from them but for surf ish tones its amazing. Once you do add fuzz it sounds pretty great. Zero nasty frets or quality issues. Only thing I might upgrade at some point is the pickups. Otherwise as usual HB are killin it

Interestimg shot at P90
I bought this guitar as it's a baritone and has P90, interesting combination. The pickups are "reverse-wound, reverse-polarity", so no hum in middle position on high gain settings. For quality, one of the screws on the bridge just broke while adjusting intonation. THe action is a bit high, could not yet adjust it to my preference. On other hand, that is not a shredder, so it's less important. The best feature is the sound -it's tuned low, but has P90 punch and clarity. Interesting sound.

Low price, Moderate quality, would recommend
This is my unscientific review based on gut feeling.
I bought this as a starter baritone guitar, and it exceeds that role. Everything about the guitar feels good except the pickups, which feel really flimsy but sound fine, and the tuners are a bit cheap.
It feels bigger than it looks, and is pretty heavy compared to a squier strat, which are both fine to me. I would consider this to be comparable quality, but a baritone size.
If I continue with baritone, I'd likely get a 30in scale length with better pickups, but this definitely works for now.

You will need new tuning pegs.
The tuning pegs are very poor quality, with this much string tension they simply will not hold tuning. This is just for the guitar I received of course, however I see this issue in the reviews. Still, for the price, really you can't go wrong. The tone is very good. The setup itself also needs work, but, as said. Price Price Price.

BEAUTIFUL AND POWERFUL
This is a looker
a colorful baritone which may be user not just for metal
it is hamonious , doesn't loose tunning and give an intermidiate new sound as baritone do compared with regular guitar.
My most special guitar
I also like it's big size and the shape which seems like it's left handed but is not

Very solid, if not perfect
Really good value - if you want a baritone in your arsenal you could do a lot worse. This sounds very good and feels very good to play. The looks are also great. The only nit I have to pick is with tuning stability. The highest 3 strings can go out of tune quite easily and the tuning machines are not super precise. Good pickups and nice bridge, though.

My first baritone
In general, this is an unbeatable baritone guitar in the category in terms of price, when the market for these guitars is very limited anyway.
Unfortunately, it arrived with a very high action and also many drops of glue on the fretboard - my technician was able to fix it (Thomann paid for the service) and since then it is a tool that gives me a lot of inspiration.
