"Shade"
This Baritone- cross ower is today stringed with a John Pearse 015-065 in a C-C
It is equipped with a 0-fret which will allow various stringcombinations!
This "Baritone" gives a good response to both high and low frequencies.

Great sustain and rich overtones like on this video from a sister of "Shade"

I have been interested in baritone guitars for a while. this is a beauty. Pardon my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the zero fret?

There are a lot benefits in 0-fret! You will always have perfect string action.
On a instrument like the Baritone, where You might have huge variations in string thickness. Once You made the steering for the thickest it will fit all.

When You play with various tunings, change between different stringgauges, 0-fret is outstanding!

Today I make 9 of 10 of my guitars with 0-fret! I love it!
