Sterling's first baritone guitar, a longer-scale instrument built for tunings below standard.
Watch
Why it matters
Baritones have moved from niche to common over the past few years, and this is the first one in Sterling's line. A longer scale keeps strings at a workable tension when tuned below standard, which suits heavier music and textural parts. At this price it opens the format to players who do not want to go custom.
Note
Sterling's first baritone model.
Specifications
- Scale length: 698.5 mm (27.5 in)
- Neck shape: unknown
Before you buy
- New to the range, so used stock is thin
- Check the string gauge and tuning it is set up for, since baritones are voiced around a specific tuning
- The longer scale takes some adjusting if the usual guitars are standard scale
