The Korena take

The SN-1 Baritone is a six-string built around a 27-inch scale for lower tunings, including B standard. Its roasted maple neck and compound-radius Macassar ebony fingerboard combine with 24 extra-jumbo stainless-steel frets; frets 17 through 24 are scalloped. A lightweight swamp ash body, Hipshot hardtail bridge, string-through-body construction, and locking tuners form the platform. The Fishman Fluence Modern bridge humbucker offers two voices, with the second selected from the push-pull volume control.
