Okay couldn’t fight the urge last night after a few bourbons and ordered the Tele Baritone. I’ll report back when it’s in hand.

So my studio partner has the cheapie Dano and he gets a great sound out of it. But, it’s a maintenance hog and he has to fiddle with the neck twice a year. I’d like my own Baritone for home, and I don’t want it to be a toy. Thinking about maybe checking out the Reverend, people seem to like their stuff. Or, I could put a baritone neck in my MIJ strat, which I bright otherwise sell. But then, would I like my current pickups for that or is it a can of worms. Any thoughts? Oh, only twice a year? Actually, i'd imagine that has a lot to do with the weather environment where you live.
However understand this - there is NO other instrumet that has the same tone as the Dano. You want that, you deal with the quirks. I used to own a Fender Bass VI, first year of production, only 3 switches, not 4. NOT a substiture for a Dano. Great instrument in its own rite.
Yeah, you can put a Bari neck on your Strat, how it works out is not like any other style Bari guitar, but you might love it. Or not. Pickups? Dunno if I'd call it a "Cano wurms" - it's somewhat predictable. It WILL NOT sound like a classic Bari Tele.
Reverend is well respected, but I have not played one.
Understand, THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR A DANELECTRO, if you want thet sound. I could write you a small book (well, not quite) about why, but I'm feeling lazy.
Two hints.... - Grover Rotomatis. Second, the original brige with the floating rosewood saddle was actually a great bridge - but you must be careful that it doesn't shift when you change strings. In other words DON'T CLIP ALL YOUR STRINGS AT THE SAME TIME! Do it one at a time, so the damn saddle does not shift.
I actually love the original Dano bridges, once you understand them.

This is helpful, I definitely don’t want want a danelctro then. Danelectro does make a bari that has the all metal adjustable bridge. The funky, older-style bridge will have an effect on tone to a minimal extent. Not enough to outweigh the contributions of body construction, scale length, and pickups that mostly define that sound. www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BTBM--danelectro-baritone-electric-guitar-black-metalflake |

A shop in Texas is selling that Classic Vibes Tele on Reverb for $375 new with free shipping. That's a pretty attractive price if you want to have a baritone on hand for now and again playing.

Got a direct link to that by any chance? I couldn't find any for less than $499. Thx. Fender had a sale during the Labor Day period. I believe it ended on Friday night. Major retailers had the Classic Vibe series down to about $300-$350. Proaudiostar had the cheapest prices down to $279. I grabbed a CV Jazzmaster and a CV 50s Tele during that time, and had to restrain myself from getting the CV baritone Tele. |
