This Custom #44 is a serious statement. The baritone 8-string configuration, paired with that stunning Tasmanian grenadilla, delivers a truly unique and powerful sonic experience. It’s perfect for composers, studio musicians, or anyone wanting a truly distinctive baritone voice – but be prepared for a learning curve with that long scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

The tuning will be lower, obviously, and the string tension is higher due to the added strings, requiring a more deliberate playing style and potentially heavier gauge strings.
Tasmanian grenadilla is quite dense and stable, but still requires care; humidity control is crucial to prevent cracking and regular cleaning with a quality guitar polish is recommended.
The ES2 is remarkably well-controlled, but careful EQ adjustments might be needed in louder environments; the low frequencies of the baritone can be more prone to feedback if not managed properly.
