After I asked how Mortimor's baritone guitar tastes, Bruce in Australia suggested:
It might give him low, rumbling heartburn, as well..... Actual photo of Brucebubs playing a gig in Australia whm |

Sorry for the delayed answer, I just now saw your post. The price was $290.50 with a discount of $43.57 with the code "cyber". The electric version has been on sale (on and off) as the SDOTD several times, the last time it was around $279.

I just ordered an Alvarez CJ1 Jumbo case from MF for $74.69 (using the code "HOLIDAY17"). Not quite as good a deal as GC had a while ago (25% off). I hope that I like the ADT60, I almost bought the version with the electronics when it was on sale. I got a great deal on this one, and I have a K&K Pure Mini new in the box that I can install if I want to. Are there any other differences between the two Alvarez models other than the obvious no pickguard, sunburst top, and electronics?

Some earlier posters have mentioned that the regular ABT60 is part of the Alvarez product line, but the ABT610 is a special GC / MF only version, and does not appear on the Alvarez web site. I was able to register my warranty just fine on the Alvarez site last week, however. |

Thanks for the response, and enjoy your guitar! It has a great looking finish, and I like the no pickguard look. Mine has a rather high action. I can certainly sand down the saddle, but are baritones supposed to have higher actions?

I posted these pictures of the string height that works well for me on my ABT-60 ...
... someone immediately noticed the double dot fret markers are not parallel.

Just tell them to count things and wash their hands repeatedly until they feel better!

Thanks for that, but I can't clearly tell what the measurements are. The top photo appears to be 3/32", and the bottom photo appears to be 4mm. If that is correct, those are two different distances. I'm assuming that both photos are of the same guitar.

The metric ruler pictured is 1.0 mm increments on the left and 0.5 mm increments on the right. So, just over 2.0 mm - probably 2.2-2.3 mm I tune 'C' to 'C'. If you want to tune 'B' to 'B' you may need to raise that height as the strings will have less tension and may be too floppy/buzzy.

I have it tuned B to B and there is still a bit of fret buzz on the 9th fret of the low B string. I used a credit card as a fret rocker and the frets seem level with each other in that area, so it appears the baritone needs either higher action or a bit more neck relief than I normally use.

I have to hit the string a bit harder to produce the buzz if I tune C to C.

Now I just have to decide how big of a problem this is.
