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.

Baritone

Baritone guitars are designed with a longer scale length than standard guitars, allowing them to be tuned lower while maintaining string tension and clarity. They typically sit between a standard guitar and a bass in pitch, producing a deeper, heavier sound without losing definition.

They are widely used in alternative, metal, ambient, and cinematic styles, as well as for modern rhythm work and textural playing. Baritone guitars offer tight low-end response and extended range, making them ideal for players who want lower tunings with improved note clarity and control.
