Description

The Hartwood Drifter Baritone Electric Guitar is a sleek retro guitar that blends vintage style with modern playability. Its 28-inch scale and B-to-B tuning give you the extended lower range of a baritone but Hartwood have approached the format differently. By positioning the bridge further back into the body the Drifter Baritone retains a regular guitar-sized neck with a compact 18-fret layout. The result is a baritone that feels immediately familiar under your hands and even fits into your favourite gig bag! The bodys aged cream double binding brass saddle bridge and elegant F-hole give the Drifter its distinctive retro character while the roasted maple neck chambered basswood body and laurel fingerboard provide effortless modern playability. Twin gold-foil-covered humbuckers offer plenty to explore across the lower register with simple volume tone and three-way pickup controls. Its an unconventional baritone built around a practical idea: extended range with a familiar and comfortable feel.

More info about this Product

Baritone Guitar

A baritone guitar sits between a standard electric guitar and a bass, using a longer scale length and heavier strings to reach lower tunings with clarity and tension. It’s ideal for players who want deeper, heavier tones without losing the feel and expression of a guitar, making it popular in ambient, alternative, metal, and cinematic styles. Baritone guitars excel at tight, defined low notes, rich chord voicings, and expanded harmonic range, especially when standard guitars start to sound loose or muddy when tuned down. They’re also a great creative tool, encouraging different chord shapes, riff ideas, and songwriting approaches that sit in a unique space within a mix.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Electric Guitar

Electric guitars use pickups to convert string vibration into an amplified signal. Tagged products may differ in body construction, scale length, bridge type, pickup layout and switching, all of which affect feel and tonal range. Use the more specific body-shape, pickup and construction tags to narrow the comparison.

Left Handed

Left-handed guitars are built specifically for left-handed players, with the body shape, controls, and string orientation reversed to provide a natural and comfortable playing experience. Available across electric, acoustic, classical, and bass styles, they offer the same variety of tones, features, and build quality as right-handed models. Using a properly designed left-handed guitar helps with balance, technique, and confidence, allowing players to focus on developing their sound without having to adapt to an instrument that doesn’t suit the way they play.
