Reverend Guitars Descent W • Wildwood Guitars Overview

Baritone guitars are not quite basses and not quite guitars, and that makes them one of the most misunderstood instruments out there. Guitar players don't know what to do in such a low tuning, and bassists are confused by those two extra strings. I think this is a shame--after all, you can do a lot of really amazing things with a baritone--and so do our friends at Reverend. So, they sought to design a baritone that everyone would want to play. Enter the Reverend Descent W, Reverend's attempt to make the wonderful world of baritone guitars accessible to all.

The Descent W has a 26.75-inch scale length, which is just an inch and a quarter longer than the standard Fender scale. Frankly, it feels so close to a regular guitar that it's easy to forget that you're playing a baritone! One might fear that such a short scale might lead to floppiness in the bass strings, but the custom set of 12-68 gauge strings that SIT Strings designed specifically for this guitar sound remarkably tight even though they feel slinky (and the 3rd string is even unwound, so you can still bend up a minor third if you work for it!).
