I’m jigging up to build a pair of baritone guitars starting next year. I wanted to start building up some info on traits, pitfalls, bracings, thicknesses, dimensions in general. Any info would be great.

Thanks
Lance

Lance,
You'll definitely want this information from David Berkowitz. He was at ASIA this year. I'm sure he would be happy to share information with you. I would also love to build me one at some point in my building career, as I love the rich deep sound. Good Luck!
Tracy

I was really impressed with Steve Parks and his tenor guitars at ASIA.

Tracy, I don't remember seeing David at ASIA...could you have meant Healdsburg?

Matt, Steve could play the thing too..eh? Man, that was some great jammin'!

David Berkowitz was at ASIA, he gave a lecture on baritones with Linda Manzer. I was there, it was very informative. I'm getting ready to build a baritone also so this thread is great for me too!

The Baritone talk was one of the best of the week. Almost everything said was new information and the only problem was that there weren't any baritones to try.

Jamm'n with Steve. Yup, he can play.
