This 66BT is a seriously cool baritone, offering a unique blend of vintage vibe and modern playability. The Lipstick humbucker delivers a thick, saturated tone that's perfect for heavier styles, while the P90 adds a touch of warmth. It's a great option for players seeking a distinctive voice and a long scale length for dropped tunings.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Wilkinson tremolo is a significant step up, offering smoother action and better tuning stability compared to many budget-friendly trem systems.
Absolutely. The split option opens up a surprising amount of single-coil territory, adding versatility for cleaner tones and funkier rhythms.
The alder provides a good tonal foundation, and the center block helps to control feedback and enhance sustain, preventing the semi-hollow design from becoming overly flabby.
