Summary

If you're looking at electric baritone guitars, you probably already have a good idea where and how you want to use it. As our brief online guide demonstrates, it offers far more options than just 60s Spaghetti Western sounds or deep, dark metal riffs. If put to creative use, they don't only expand the tonal range in many musical styles but also imbue pieces with individual character.

Playing the baritone guitar takes some getting used to, as the dimensions change depending on the scale length - sometimes considerably. In addition, you'll have to adapt to the greater thickness of the strings. But these are things that become second nature relatively quickly.

As longs as you own a somewhat powerful guitar amp, you're all set for playing a baritone guitar, too. Slightly larger speakers or a 2x or 4x box will make for even better sound, no matter if it's clear or distorted you're going for.

Once you have got used to the larger dimensions of your baritone guitar, you'll be able to find your personal style quickly by experimenting with different tunings and strings gauges.
