Guitar Tone Tuesday: Ep 214 - Baritone Strings On A Standard Scale Length: Yes Or No??

Guitar Tone Tuesday: Ep 214 - Baritone Strings On A Standard Scale Length: Yes Or No??



IMPORTANT Please be warned to not tune your guitar any higher than standard baritone tuning (B, E, A, D, F#, B) and be prepared to make some adjustments to your action and intonation. I also wouldn't try this on a guitar with a particularly thin neck.

Today we conduct an inexpensive experiment. These are always fun to do on the channel, as I just want to keep helping all of you inspired to
pick up your guitars every week, so perhaps some of you would enjoy trying it for yourselves.

This episode stemmed from a question I have been asking myself for a long time. Can you put super thick baritone guitar strings on a standard scale length electric guitar, tune it like a baritone, and make it sound good? Moreover will the guitar function properly, stay in tune and give you that unique baritone-like tone, without having to go out and get an actual baritone
guitar? Well check out this video and be the judge.

Today, I used some D'addario 14/68 Medium gauge baritone strings, and if you'd like to try this experiment yourself it can be a lot of fun. If you're someone who prefers thinner strings you should try the lights in a 13/62 gauge, as this is what D'addario recommends for down tuning on standard scale-length guitars.

What did you think of the sound of these D'addario baritone strings? Is this something you would try yourself, or do you think getting a
true baritone guitar is the only way to really do this? Let your voice be heard in the comment section below!
