WOAH! SHocking instrument!

I used to tune my tele down to B, F#, B, B with the "not even slinky" set from EB, but it was kind of floppy and fell out of tune, so I got a baritone conversion neck, but it was too damn hard to play.

Now, I have some "Zakk Wylde ultra low-tune" strings (.70-11 I believe) and I rock my affinity tele down to B. AWESOME!

That would make a brilliant USCG project....

I will own a baritone sometime this year! I especially like playing "jazz chords" on them through cranked tweed amps or big muffs.

Marshalls do it pretty nice too!

I'm doing a funky doubleneck Tele with a Bass VI trem and Bari neck up top (powered by a couple cranky old Filtertrons). Here's an OLD pic without all the parts...

I use a '60's Dano standard (one lipstick, double cutaway, shorthorn, trained seal-shape pickguar ) baritone quite a bit. It sounds really good.

I especially like that with Danos, the only difference between the bass, six string standard, and barintone instruments are the position of the frets, the number of tuning machines, and the position of the bridge. And the slots in the nut, I guess. Otherwise they are exactly the same thing - same neck, same body, same everything. If you line them all up together people don't notice at first, then they either get all huffily dismissive and annoyed, or are awstruck but the goofy cheapness genius.

bah! fender made a rather feeble entry into that line of thinking with the 22.5" and 24" interchangable necks.
