Default Berkowitz JB-30 Baritone

Here's a video of my client playing his Berkowitz JB-30 Baritone, A-A tuning, in East Indian Rosewood and Western Red Cedar.

You pulled off some EIR and cedar magic here, David....rings forever and has a beautiful, piano-like tone. Nice playing by your client.

Sounds great. Thanks. Does your client play in the DC area? Listened to a bunch of his other you tube videos. Be nice to see him play your baritone live.

Thanks for posting David. Very nice. I enjoyed trying your guitars out at the Swannanoa Gathering this year.

Best,
Jayne

My client is from Italy, so that won't be possible. Jayne it was a pleasure.

A really impressive sounding instrument. The 30 inch scale would scare me a bit - but it certainly seems to yield a big pay-off.

Cogito, thank you. This is the longest I do. My normal one, the JB-28, is on a 28.59" scale and can be set up natively in B-B or A-A tuning. I'll be showing one in German and quilted sapele at the Woodstock Guitar Show in October.
