Baritone CLG-414BCE NT : Great Baritone Acoustic

5 years ago

I was looking for an affordable yet good quality baritone acoustic guitar looking to play some Pat Metheny esque experimental tunes, and came across this gem of an instrument.

The build is brilliant, a solid well constructed body with a strong neck to deal with the high tensions involved in the heavy gauge strings. The sound that comes from the body acoustically, is very rich, deep and resonant. The sound coming from the output jack does well to replicate this but no less sounds a bit thinner and to be expected from a DI recording. A bit of EQ and this guitar will sound amazing. The actual inbuilt pre-amp has a very clear, easy to use tuner and the EQ controls onboard are very simple and easy to use.

I have since restrung this guitar with my own custom gauge strings and, despite being wildly different gauges to normal baritones, the guitar still brings out the life of the strings and tone.

Overall a very well built, great sounding, easy to use guitar. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to branch out into baritone guitars.
