Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

The left-handed MH-1000 Baritone uses a 27-inch scale for the extended low range associated here with modern metal and progressive rock. Its described typical tuning is B-E-A-D-F#-B, a fourth below standard. The arched mahogany body and maple cap are joined by a neck-through, extra-thin U-shaped 3-piece maple neck. EMG 81 bridge and EMG 60TW-R neck humbuckers are direct-mounted, with coil splitting available from the push-pull tone control at the neck. The fixed TonePros locking Tune-O-Matic bridge uses a string-through-body design.
