Baritone models are optimized to be tuned a perfect fourth lower than a regular guitar. The strings are tuned to low B , E, A, D, F#, and high B, and the fingerboard scale is extended by 60 mm from the standard 650 mm to 710 mm. Baritone guitars feature the standard BARc body shape, i.e. BAR with cutaway, and a modified bracing pattern for the best possible sound quality in the low register.

The main differences between a standard 6-string guitar and a baritone 6-string guitar are in terms of their scale length, tuning, and overall sound.

1. Scale length: The scale length of a guitar is the distance between the nut and the saddle. Baritone guitars typically have a longer scale length than standard guitars, which results in greater string tension and a deeper, more resonant tone. Standard guitars typically have a scale length of around 25.5 inches, while baritone guitars have a scale length of 27 inches or more.

2. Tuning: Another significant difference between the two types of guitars is their tuning. A standard 6-string guitar is typically tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E, while a baritone guitar is typically tuned to B-E-A-D-F#-B. This tuning allows the baritone guitar to produce lower frequencies and a deeper sound.

3. Sound: The longer scale length and lower tuning of a baritone guitar produce a deeper, richer sound than a standard guitar. The baritone guitar’s tone is often described as “growling” or “booming,” making it ideal for certain genres such as jazz, blues, and heavy metal. Standard guitars, on the other hand, have a brighter, more balanced tone that is well-suited to a wider range of musical styles.

In summary, a baritone 6-string guitar has a longer scale length, lower tuning, and produces a deeper, richer sound than a standard 6-string guitar. It is often preferred by guitarists who play jazz, blues, and heavy metal music, while a standard guitar is more versatile and suitable for a wider range of musical styles.
