Explore the depths of baritone with this versatile and affordable guitar.

This guitar features a 27" baritone scale, a resonant swamp ash body and a comfortable three-piece roasted maple neck, making it ideal for a wide range of playing styles, from down-tuned riffs to soaring leads and everything in between.
Swamp Ash Body and Bolt-on Construction for a Balanced and Resonant Tone
The XJ-1 baritone features a swamp ash body that delivers a clear and articulate sound with a tight low end, punchy mids and sparkling highs, making it ideal for a variety of musical styles. The bolt-on construction enhances the guitar's attack and clarity, contributing to its overall sonic versatility. This combination of body wood and construction creates a solid foundation for the guitar's versatile sound, making it suitable for everything from heavy riffs to clean, articulate chords.
Fishman Fluence Modern Humbucker for Powerful Tones with Versatile Voicings
This baritone electric guitar is equipped with a Fishman Fluence Modern 3-Voice Humbucker in the bridge position, designed to deliver a powerful and versatile sound with exceptional clarity and definition. This pickup offers a hot output and a wide dynamic range, making it ideal for modern metal and progressive styles, as well as classic rock and blues. The push-pull control on the tone knob allows you to access three distinct voicings within the pickup, adding another dimension of tonal versatility to the XJ-1 Baritone.
Macassar Ebony Fingerboard and Comfortable Neck Profile for Effortless Playability
The XJ-1 baritone features a Macassar ebony fingerboard that's known for its smooth feel and fast response.
