I don’t think it has been mentioned in this thread, but I do recall it coming up in another thread in past few months. The person that started that thread was contemplating having a luthier friend rework a damaged standard guitar as a baritone.
As an example of dimensions, my baritone has 16 inch lower bout (not so big!), and a 4.75 inch depth at heel. The sound is very different to a standard guitar, even when playing notes that are easily played on a standard guitar.
