#038 Baritone  (Sold)

Cody came all the way to my house to talk about a “special build” that he wanted, and boy was it special.  First of all he wanted a baritone Strat style guitar.  The neck is five frets longer than a normal neck and is tuned five half notes lower.  It is like dropping your capo down instead of up.  We probably went back and forth for a month deciding on pickups and body finish.  He wanted something with a maroon colour and a blue plate for the pick guard and some shotgun shells.   He also wanted a huge choice of sounds so we put a SD Lipstick in the neck and a SD vintage stack in the bridge.  The middle pickup is what makes it unique.  
For any “Geeks” reading this, it is a Seymour Duncan P-Rail.  The P-Rail is a single pickup that has a P90 and a Rail (or blade) pickup all in one.  Then we put in a Triple Shot controller so he could switch those two functions from series to parallel and a few other things.  The non-geeks are probably shaking their heads, but that’s ok.  It produces a massive variation of sounds.
When I finished it I wondered why anyone would want such a “weird” guitar.  Then I plugged it in.  Wow.  With the low E string the thickness of a bass guitar string this thing has some unusual and great sounds.
On boxing day Cody showed up to my house again and took his baby home
