I've started looking at a baritone as a second gigging guitar since I've been playing around with a lot of songs either really high on the neck with a capo(5th or 6th fret and higher), or dropping the tuning down 1 or 2 steps, and thought I could benefit with a baritone. I've even been playing with a song in drop C tuning, but there are still some higher notes in the song that are just out of reach vocally. 1 or 2 more steps would be perfect, but then the strings are too floppy! I had an 8-string Ibanez guitar for a few years, but only sold it late last year. You've got me thinking of this again. I was originally only looking at the 6 string versions from Alvarez, or even the new Faith Baritone. I've wasted plenty of time researching them already!

Wow, that sounds way better than my ABT60e, which I think sounds pretty good in its own right.
Rock on, brother! |

I recommended Alvarez (in all versions) as a perfect start to acoustic baritone world. Bought it in Andertons https://www.andertons.co.uk/alvarez-...ck-abt60ce-8bk They have more videos on their YT channel. Personally I like it much more than more expensive Faith. |

I was thinking of buying a 6 string alvarez baritone for $399.
Is the 8 string so much better, ??? like night and day? in terms of sound? thanks

I have a baritone that I love, but I have been jonesing for the Taylor 8-string. It's just too much money for me to sink into another baritone. But this might be tempting.
