Baritones are like guitars…but are a little shorter scaled so you can tune down to like and a, and its not too loose and you still have the options of .009 now could you tell me what the difference between esp and ltd is?

Baritone guitar is tuned down 5 steps; starts with low B to high B. Since the emphasis is on the low end, the box and the scale may be "deeper"

Baritones are different, their scale is longer as mentioned above, to retain the string tention. Yamaha makes a drop six @ 26 1/4 inch scale length. the esp baritone series is @ 27 and mike mushoks signature from ibanez is 28" The standard baritone tuning is B E A D G F# B The standard sting size are .13’s (.13-.56 as oppossed to standard .09-.42 on a 24 3/4 – 25 1/2 scale) Hope that was of some help

uhhhhh….ok..if you say so…..actually…what a baritone guitar is…is a guitar that plays between a regular guitar…and a bass guitar…hence the name baritone. It is usually tuned from the octave below the normal A string *on a guitar* up to that A string. There is no difference in size or weight really, the only difference really is the strings, nut and bridge…you can get string sets from Labella strings for the baritone guitar.

Yup, they are great for alt tunings, and the guy from STAIND plays one… and that has rekindled ‘pop’ interest in them. : well the deal is, that a baritone guitar has a longer scale. The ones we made at baker guitars when I was ther were something like 27-28 inches rather than the standard 25.5 : because of this longer scale the guitar can be tuned lower and still maintain string tention.
