Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a 27-inch scale, the right-handed MH-1000 Baritone is intended for the extended lower register of modern metal and progressive rock. Its described typical tuning is B-E-A-D-F#-B, a fourth below standard. An arched mahogany body with maple cap joins a neck-through, extra-thin U-shaped 3-piece maple neck. Direct-mount EMG humbuckers place an EMG 81 at the bridge and an EMG 60TW-R at the neck, where the push-pull tone control accesses coil splitting. A TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge anchors the fixed string-through-body layout.
