Baritones - Any pictures from owners?

[30yroldpig]

Not too long ago somebody posted a picture of their new baritone guitar. For some reason I cannot find it in the forum.

Could all you Baritone owners post pictures? I want to purchase a 7 string, possibly a baritone, possibly a UV, or *possibly even a K-7, yet the baritone photos from Ibanez don't do it justice.

Can somebody help?

Thanx

Yep, that was me.

I just uploaded those pics in the ftp area. They are called rg1077xl.jpg and rg1077xl2.jpg.

It absolutely rules. I'd take it any day over my Universe, and I think it looks way better than the K7 (especially with the pickup mods). I haven't played a K7, so I won't make any comparisions in that regard.

Thanx for that reply. I have a little trouble finding it though...

Do you tune it to standard 440 or do you down tune?

FOUND IT!!!!

Man what a sweet axe. I thought that the p-ups were black for some reason.

Wantwantwantwant there really should be a drooling emotikon!

What's the finish like in person? *You barely get a look at it in the pics.

[cmartin]

The pickups do come black stock.

The finish in person is like the lower corner of the second .jpg - a royal blue sparkly finish when the light is shining right on it. However, when its not right under lighting, it looks dark blue.

I tune it down a full step - its my Symphony X guitar.

I love the white pups and knobs...I love the binding....I love the finish...Well, you get the point....:biggrin:
DAMN!!! That's one awesome looking axe, man!! *

Just got a quote from Rich. Interesting price. A little more than what I would like to pay:doh: , but I am sure the extra is well worth it.

Hey cmartin,
Where or how did you get all of the white hardware for your guitar? I found a 1077xl for a pretty good price and I'd like to do something similar.
Thanks,

I made a baritone guitar out of a Mexican Stratocastor once. All I did was re-file the nut to accomidate the higher string guage and adjust the truss rod. Of course I used something on the line of 14's but it sounded pretty cool.........Just tuned down some wacky way I don't remember but it wasn't a traditional tuning

Got the idea from a magazine about one of Satriani's tunes and the accompaning artist that was playing a baritone guitar set up the same way.......

Baritone's have a longer scale to accomodate a higher string-tension (for low, tuned down strings)

Well, lets see.... The knobs and switch cover are just standard white strat-style parts that you can get anywhere for a couple of bucks.

The pickups are actually white pickup covers from Jeannie pickguards that sit over the existing pickups. http://members.home.com/pickguards/

I'm going to put actual white pickups in soon however (Blaze Custom for the bridge and Blaze for the neck).

He quoted you on the 1077XL??? Trust me, I just got mine... that little extra cash is DEFINALTELY worth it... and also, none of the pics (not even cmartin's) do it justice...
