I’d personally be happy if Fender did nothing but release more colors in the American Pro II range for the next few years. Also an American Pro II Starcaster would be sick
So, true...I had many guitars in 23 years playing and if there´s two guitars that i really love in all those years, are my two Sq Contemporary Series (I have the HH strat with FR and the newest white pearl Tele.
Fender really hit on something when they made these Squier Baritones. As Pete says, no better entry into Baritone. The scale isn't too long, nothing about it feels foreign, and I gotta say the pickups are kinda perfect. Super low output P90s (under 7k reading on mine) which allows you to have that dynamic for the haunting stuff & the bluesy stuff, so it's not just a chug stick, like many other baritones around this price.
That burgundy ( oxblood ) finish along with the gold anodized scratch plate and white P-90's is absolutely gorgeous ! Very classy combination. It looks like Squire is really putting in the effort.
A little known trick with baritone guitars/bass vi....is to use them to double a bass guitar in rock productions....it helps to bring out the bass in the obver all mix....
Absolutely beautiful intro guys, pulling on ye' ol' heartstrings. My favorite two guitarists on UA-cam. Someday I'm gonna' have to buy something from Andertons, PA is a long way from the UK lol.
Nice intro, but most of the bands I've heard with baritone guitars make noisy, distorted shite played so low that it hardly sounds like chord progressions.
@@melvynobrien6193check out black midis first two albums, one of the only non metal groups ive seen make use of a baritone and it sounds phenomenal. sort of a prog/jazz punk outfit but they're super tight
@@tres311 What the matter Lee- you think you're too good to play the same instrument as the leading session guitarist in Nashville right now? He plays a Squire- and no, it's not modified, it's stock- a Squire affinity Strat. He made one change- he changed the top volume knob to white instead of black because he said he couldn't see it well on stage. And every day thousands of ppl listen to him playing his Squire on hit singles and records of all kinds- while wet behind the ears wanna-bees like yourself run around acting as if you're too good to play one.
I don't know who might need to hear this: Ernie Ball Mammoth strings. They're thick, but they allow you to tune to B on a 25.5 scale length without getting muddy. I've had discussions with people who get righteous about TOAN. Even with a setup, you're looking at like < $50 with a new nut. You'll need something to file the nut, an intonation adjustment, and double check that the thickest string fits through your tuner/bridge. It's not for everybody, but it might be for you. The added string mass gives you sustain for days. It almost sounds like a piano with new strings. Also handy if you have a guitar with low leveled frets. If you're baritone curious, I'd rather spend $7 for strings, over a few hundred for a new guitar/conversion neck. For the record, I have 25.5 scale, and a Warmoth conversion neck. The conversion neck was a waste of time for me. PS: I had to put some foam under my trem springs. The thick strings make them resonate.
Yes, I own a Baratone Guitar, an Acoustic / Electric Ibanez. Standard tuned guitar is at the 5th fret. Great Fun and I highly recommend one for every guitar player.
Little late to the party but this intro jam made me remember why I got into guitar in the first place. Awesome playing both of you! I’m really considering the baritone.
Since I got my Chapman BEA baritone from you a couple of months ago, I've been thoroughly addicted. Being used to 009s, I really thought I'd struggle with the 12s, but have been very pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to play. It's awesome through ambient effects and brutal in drop A with distortion. Wish I'd bought one years ago.
Bought an ML-1 bari a few years ago, put it in drop f# and swapped out the bridge pickup for a Bare Knuckle Juggernaut. The thing sounds lethal. Tuned super low but even under a lot of gain the definition and clarity in chords and single notes is still there. Every guitarist should have a baritone.
Definitely interested in picking up a bari at some point, but how do they fit into a band? Does the whole band need to be tuned down or do you end up stepping on the bass players toes?
@@Vertigo504 it’d fit in fine. The whole idea of baritones or other low tuned guitars stepping on the bassist’s toes makes little sense. Bass and guitar are two separate instruments with two completely different sounds that cover different parts of the frequency spectrum. I play hardcore punk/metal, so in my case the bass would play an octave below as usual and the other guitarist (if there is one), would play in the same tuning as me, on another baritone or extended range, whichever works for them. The relationship between instruments remains the same, the writing and playing is different. In the case of other genres? I imagine it’d work the same. A low tuned guitar doesn’t sound like a bass at all, much like how a bass tuned up doesn’t sound like a guitar. Unless you’re actually running the guitar through a bass amp and trying to use it as a weird little bass, toes will not be stepped on and both instruments will work in tandem as usual.
I run one of my standard length el cheapo HSS strats strung baritone. Sounds great. For those who want to try bari but can't afford a 27 inch instrument, go nuts, you'll be surprised.
Nice one! I love baritone acoustics and I play it whenever I see one in a store. My next acoustic will have to be a baritone. Either a relatively cheap Ibanez or a more costly Furch. A little suggestion: Try the baritone equivalent of DADGAD. It sounds glorious and with a bit of delay and reverb even more so.
That intro was amazing fellas -- chills. I've been looking at getting one of these for a while -- the price is great. That green one is it. Ok, I think I'm gonna make my first Andertons order.
That was so cool to just hear you two play. I mean, I’m sure it’s why you do what you do, so it’s so nice to see a post about nothing but enjoying what you do.
Why baritone? It makes you play different stuff. I think owning lots of guitars is all about inspiration. I have a tele with thick strings down-tuned to standard C or D, but having the longer scale is a different experience, IMO. Thanks for the demo, L & P.
Baritone guitar is such emotionally potent instrument yet I find it challenging to write on it for a band. I try to use it like a cello but I mostly end up with something between bass solo and sound of eternal darkness...
There's a Danelectro baritone at my local music store and I've tried that out a bit, they definitely sound really cool and give some killer ideas for some lower-tuned riffage. Great demo as always, guys, keep up the awesome content
Thanks for this video. I had been eying a Gretsch but instead went with a Fender Squire. I play a lot of ambient style guitar with my baritone. The finish blew me away, PURPLE SPARKLE ! You're not the only fan of purple Danish Pete ! Spending some time getting comfortable with my relatively new baritone (Squire Classic Vibe Telecaster FSR Custom baritone 27" scale) which of course came tuned in the standard BEADF#B tuning and Squire puts on .014-.068 gauge round wound strings....but since I have changed to flat wounds (which I prefer and have on all my electrics as they're more comfortable and there's no squeak moving along the fretboard) and gauges .015-.060. I have also discovered some very cool alternate tunings for baritone guitar such as : AEADF#B. or AEADEA (DADGAD equivalent) or GDADEA. or GDGCEA or ADGCEA. Locking tuners, always helpful.
I have an Alparts baritone neck and a custom made alder Jazzmaster body to put together this winter. I had the body made with a bathtub rout. Even P90's will fit. Gun stock finish, yellow tint for the neck. Something translucent for the body, not made up my mind yet. But I get the feeling I'm gonna love it. Great tones.
I saw this and loved it I'm across the pond so I got mine coming from Sweetwater but someday when I get to travel that way I'm going to have to visit this shop.
Had a dream last night that you guys opened a store in Puerto Rico and I was jamming with the captain. Cool dream. Also, need to stop watching you guys before sleeping. The best dreams are when you play something cool and not even realized you knew but there is no limitation when you are in your imagination. Ha!
@@ozzy541 In my experience unless you’re buying something really high end, you almost always need to upgrade the pickups and generally the tuners too to get a really great guitar. I’ve been spoilt by hand wound pickups and Hipshot locking tuners though, so that might just be me.
Sadly at the moment (August 2024) it's hard to find any shops which stock the Squier Cabronita Baritone. The one finished in metallic maroon looks GORGEOUS. Given that this is a 27" scale length (as opposed to the 30" scale length of the Gretsch Baritone) I personally favour tuning this C# - C# (instead of down to B - B, which I would do for the Gretsch). Ideally, I'd have both, but with 2 Gretsch baritones, one of which I would convert to a Bass VI, with bass hip-shot tuners, but would put somewhat thinner strings on and tune that one G -G. Now all I need to do is to find which bank to rob..!
This video with lee using his main pedalboard and Pete with the affordable one gives me the idea of a cheap vs expensive full pedalboard shootout with the same guitar and amp. In the intro both rigs sound amazing despite Pete’s entire board being the price of about 2 of lees.
I so wanted to buy one of these guitars but the shipping cost to Australia was £174.99.😭 Ended up buying the sunburst baritone tele here in AUS. Can't wait to try it out!!!!!!!!!
I boughtt the Ox Blood when Lee did the short video as I absolutely loved the color and was already wanting to try a baritone. I took a bit of 000 steel wool to the neck just to give it a bit of a satin feel. The P90's are briliant; nothing beats P90's in my opinion. But, It's been around 40°C here ever since I got this though, so I haven't been able to turn on my amp long enough to properly bond with it as my AC can't complete with the tubes in my Dutchess.
Pete's rocking his new affordable pedal board with the TC Plethora X3, I see. Sounds great. We'll see how the new smaller Plethora sells. I think it's an improvement over the X5, which was too large, IMO.
i just really like the look tele body with p90 pickup , looks fantastic, fender should make trouble maker looking tele , like gibson ,switch tone vol layout, make it regular series.
Thanks guys for making my guitar acquisition syndrome a bit worse today… Baritone, bass 6, jaguar, Princeton reverb, and a myriad of pedals… I need another job.
I've had 3 Fender (2 USA and 1 Japan) and 2 Squiers. 2 Fenders USA Professional. Ok guitars, but for some reason both felt kind of unispiring or just never got excited with them. The Japanese richie kotzen tele. Aboslutely fantastic! And IMO higher quality than the USA. Amazing guitar. 1 Classic vibe tele, was very good, just didnt dig the thick poly on the neck, and would have taken out but also personal preference the neck felt a bit small ,and kind of bugged me being a bit small. But was great guitar! I liked it. 1 J MAscis jazzmaster and wow! with the richie kotzen by far my favorite! But Im digging this one more cos prefer the tones on this one. Plus, the satin and thicker neck is just wonderful for my taste. Squier is making such amazing instruments, im really Gassin for the maple necks 40th anniversary, since those are satin! Hopefully the neck is not very thin. But im sure those are amazing! good job squier!!
I play guitar for like ten years, not too seriously. Started playing bass in a band two years ago, and switched to a 34 inch scale, started with 32 inch scale. It took some time to get used to it. But now there is a problem - a guitar feels like a mandolin to my fingers. Then I decided that I just want a guitar with the longest scale possible while still remaining kind of a guitar, not a Bass VI for example. So I think a baritone guitar is what I want, and exactly this kind of baritone, not the "metal" type. Nice to see a classic looking baritone guitar and a video that is not of that chu-chug-chuggy music style. Seems like 90% of baritone content is that only.
Ernie Ball Mommoth strings. They're thick, but they allow you to tune to B on a 25.5 scale length without getting muddy. I've had discussions with people who get righteous about TOAN.

The conversion neck was a waste of time for me.
I dont think fender intended for you to be able to change the neck. The bridge position is related to the scale length. It may be impossible to play in tune or intonate if you do.
Excellent review for these Squires. Oxblood looks great. I'll need to check these out! For a guy that enjoys experimenting in "Space Rock" I can use one!
Once again, thank you gentlemen. Incredibly informative, entertaining and inspiring. I believe the "haunting chanting" you are referring to would be Gregorian.
I bought from the 1st run of Danish Pete Squire Teles and then bought a baritone Fender conversion neck from Andertons and fitted that so I have a unique Danish Pete baritone Tele. But if I hadn't have done that, I definitely would have bought that matt green one.
The longer neck would probably effect sustain and the slinkiness of the strings.. But Mostly I imagine it just allows the pickups to be on a different place in the scale than if you were to just take some high-guage strings and tune them down.
I feel like the Fender guys are kinda sleeping while the Squier guys are quietly killing it with these new releases!
Fender guys had been gone since long time and you know it bruh
I’d personally be happy if Fender did nothing but release more colors in the American Pro II range for the next few years. Also an American Pro II Starcaster would be sick
So, true...I had many guitars in 23 years playing and if there´s two guitars that i really love in all those years, are my two Sq Contemporary Series (I have the HH strat with FR and the newest white pearl Tele.
I wish Fender would do the USA Strat and Tele Plus range again with Lace Sensor pickups.
Fender is launching a new line soon to replace American Originals.
Lee's playing in this was beautiful , Really notice how far he's come as a player! Goodman!

@@joshuajkoplin they're p90s
That burgundy ( oxblood ) finish along with the gold anodized scratch plate and white P-90's is absolutely gorgeous ! Very classy combination. It looks like Squire is really putting in the effort.
Pete can really play. When he slows it down and plays “from the heart” it’s special.
These guitars are fantastic. That ox blood is very very nice.
Didn't think I would start my day yelling "GREGORIAN CHANTING, LEE, IT'S GREGORIAN CHANTING" at my screen, but here we are.

Fancied a baritone for ages and these are mighty tempting.
I have one of these in black, but man that olive green is beautiful.
Always been intrigued by the baritone and it's application....thanks!
That green color is great looking! Also, love the shoutout to Stay Metal Ray, only reason why I thought about picking up a baritone

Yes, please do a Baritone and Bass VI video!
Had a dream last night that you guys opened a store in Puerto Rico and I was jamming with the captain. Cool dream. Also, need to stop watching you guys before sleeping. The best dreams are when you play something cool and not even realized you knew but there is no limitation when you are in your imagination. Ha!
Got so excited after the video that pulled out my CC and went to place an order and we denied since I’m in the states 😂. I really want the green one.
I just played one. I was really impressed. For a sub $500 guitar. Throw locking tuners and better pickups and electronics, and it’s amazing.
So toss $400 at it and it’s good? Just pay for it twice and she’s amazing!

I've had 3 Fender (2 USA and 1 Japan) and 2 Squiers.
2 Fenders USA Professional. Ok guitars, but for some reason both felt kind of unispiring or just never got excited with them.
The Japanese richie kotzen tele. Aboslutely fantastic! And IMO higher quality than the USA. Amazing guitar.
1 Classic vibe tele, was very good, just didnt dig the thick poly on the neck, and would have taken out but also personal preference the neck felt a bit small ,and kind of bugged me being a bit small. But was great guitar! I liked it.

Please make these in a standard scale length, they'd sell by the bucket load.
Ernie Ball Mommoth strings. They're thick, but they allow you to tune to B on a 25.5 scale length without getting muddy. I've had discussions with people who get righteous about TOAN. Even with a professional setup, you're looking at like $50 with a new nut. You'll need something to file the nut, an intonation adjustment, and double check that the thickest string fits through your tuner/bridge.
The added string mass gives you sustain for days. It almost sounds like a piano with new strings. Also handy if you have a guitar with low frets. If you're baritone curious, I'd rather spend $7 for strings, over a few hundred for a new guitar/conversion neck. For the record, I have a 25.5 scale, and a Warmoth conversion neck. The conversion neck was a waste of time for me.
I dont think fender intended for you to be able to change the neck. The bridge position is related to the scale length. It may be impossible to play in tune or intonate if you do.
of course that won't work without moving the bridge location. Then the pickups would not be in the right place also...Pete should know better.
Pete is a musician, not a guitar tech :) and a good one. I thought I had to point that out so people wont make that mistake.
The chanting monks you are looking for is Gregorean. Great segment.
Excellent review for these Squires. Oxblood looks great. I'll need to check these out! For a guy that enjoys experimenting in "Space Rock" I can use one!
Once again, thank you gentlemen. Incredibly informative, entertaining and inspiring. I believe the "haunting chanting" you are referring to would be Gregorian.
These will be sold out in no time. What a beautiful melancholy sound.
Cheers to Stay Metal Ray for the shout out on the Andertons channel!
So... Lee's been on holiday. Almost as dark as I am!
Who is this Barry Tone and why does he deserve a signature guitar?
Ordered an HB Amarok baritone. It will be here tomorrow.
Ian Mackaye in "The Evens" and "Coriky" (Dischord Records) plays some awesome baritone. Highly recommend people check it out
I bought from the 1st run of Danish Pete Squire Teles and then bought a baritone Fender conversion neck from Andertons and fitted that so I have a unique Danish Pete baritone Tele. But if I hadn't have done that, I definitely would have bought that matt green one.
*Squier. Not Squire. It's on both the headstock and the neck plate.
The intro was sooo good!
best jam you ever did. Pete, you are gold
The beginning song reminds me of Bucketheads songs from. 'A real diamond in the rough'
One of your best opening jams chaps
This Squier reminds me of the one that got away - Fender Am Pro Tele with rosewood neck in Olive Green 💔
Guys, where is the lefty one ?
Such a lovely intro !
Love the intro, fellas. Great sound.
nice vibe guys - you should dohis more often...!
Just ordered it !
The longer neck would probably effect sustain and the slinkiness of the strings.. But Mostly I imagine it just allows the pickups to be on a different place in the scale than if you were to just take some high-guage strings and tune them down.
Boys! I believe you were referring to Gregorian Chant?
Pete: you could buy a baritone neck and plug it into the tele you already have.
Lee: shut up! we are here to sell guitars!
@Lee I reckon that vibe you were feeling might have been good old Dorian mode sung by medieval monks... Gregorian. (you were nearly there)
