And another kijiji find , Gretsch baritone . Real good price .
It was tuned to B , I’ve dropped it down to A . There’s been talk of an odd little project with some friends , and there’s some baritone in there so I snagged it and might well be letting one of the guitarists have it . We’ll see .
One knob and a strap pin are not original , everything else checks out good .
It is on the heavy side , but being a specialty instrument would only be used for a song or two at a time .
I’ve been playing a Bass VI a lot . This is 29 3/4 scale , so was originally planned to be a Bass VI , but the string spacing is tighter like a guitar , so they marketed it as a baritone . You have to be careful with string length because of the extra scale and the Bigsby .
Herself thinks it’s a fine looking thing . And for the time being I’m enjoying goofing around on it .
Feeling lucky .
