Warren Ellis Tenor Baritone

I know, it's not a bass
But I thought that this might be of interest for some users here anyway.

Eastwood released a baritone version of their Warren Ellis Signature tenor guitar. It has a 26" scale, 23 frets, a mini humbucker, hotrail single coil and is tailored for a CGDA tuning (so basically a cello tuning one octave up).

Has been quite some time since I testplayed the regular 23" version of the Warren Ellis Tenor. But I remember that I really liked the string spacing towards the bridge. Very comfy for bass players imo. Didn't like the short scale too much, though.

So when I first read about the baritone version yesterday, I immediately ordered it. Can't wait until it gets here. Coming from stock, this is as close as it gets to my dream of a 4 or 5 string guitar with a bass player friendly string spacing at the bridge.

Woops, sorry. Thanks for the correction.

Yea, I watched this video like 2435908 times already. It's the only footage I could find :/
Damn, I'm so looking foward to get my filthy paws on this one.

Couldn't spend too much time with it yet. But time enough to know that it is a keeper. I frikkin love this guitar! It's so ultra comfortable to play - almost like watching it play itself

Some nitpicking first:
It seems like they used the pickguard template of the regular Warren Ellis tenor. So there is a gap between bridge and pickguard. You can see it already on the photos, but holding the guitar in your hands, it just seems like a very unnecessary flaw. No big deal for me, though.
One of the tuners is quite stiff and the tone nob is not mounted properly on the poti. It's a bit too high, but I couldn't get it off either. Gotta take a closer look at that later. The nut seems a bit flimsy. Looks like cheap ugly plastic and mine was already dented. I'll probably exchange it when I have decided which strings to play. Anyhow, I had to remind myself that here in Europe it is an import which kicks the price a category up.

The strings that came with it are a bit too light for the CGDA-tuning. Well at least for my taste, I like the tension a bit tighter. Also, I already tried a regular EADG-guitar tuning (with a set of D'Addario EXL110W which has a wound G-string) and that is a lot of fun as well. Gonna look for strings that allow a tighter CGDA-tuning next.

I ordered it in cream and the guitar is really frikkin beautiful. Haven't played it on a proper amp yet, just with a Boss GT-10 or my VTDI. But I really dig both PUs so far. A regular 3-way switcher for the PUs would've been more practical imo, but of course the dedicated switches make sense with the mustang look and all - and you can do the killswitch-thing with them. Love the 26" scale. The string and fret spacing is just perfect imo. When I first started playing it, I had a hard time putting it down again. That was an almost uncannily explosive jam Kept upping the drum tempo more and more.
I just wish it had a 24th fret and a bigger headstock. But the guitar is quite light, so I guess with a bigger headstock the neck would take a dive.

I don't really get why there isn't more about this guitar on the net. It's a special and really nice intstrument.
