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.
