LeBaron Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Picked up this beauty online two weeks ago. Had to be shipped coast to coast from Western Australia to the East Coast. Absolutely love the tones I get from it into my Matchless Lightning reverb 112, whether clean or overdriven.
LeBaron Posted September 18, 2019 Author Posted September 18, 2019 ...and it is a great addition to the family ?
DetroitBlues Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 You have excellent taste in guitars! Congratulations. I watch Shane from InTheBlues on YouTube. There are a lot of nice boutique amp and guitar builder in Australia. You definitely have some great options!

I haven’t followed Shane much so I’m not sure which aussie amp builders, still active, you are referring to.

Little Crow uses native woods and Achillies makes amps based upon old Fender designs. http://www.littlecrowguitars.com.au/ http://www.achilliesamps.com/
Cajun2 Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Nice looking guitar!! I bet it sounds sweet.
Gianluca Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 congrats on the H530 and the Matchless do I see a baritone (2nd from right)?
Gitfiddler Posted September 18, 2019 Posted September 18, 2019 Well done! H530's are very versatile and unique tones. Yours is a beauty. Play it in good health.

It's a Duesenberg D6 Baritone. I've tuned it B to B (five frets down from standard guitar E tuning) and strung it with D'Addario Nickel Wound Baritone Lights (?) 13-62. It contributes a different sound with chords, riffs or lead when there are already one or two other guitars playing. As long as the other guitar players don't look at your fingers on the fretboard it's all good ? A vast array of tones in the pickup combos and option to split the humbuckers. And with the constant thinking required for transposing, it will keep the brain ticking for a while yet.

In terms of Aussie-made guitars I'm more familiar with the likes of Maton and Cole Clarke. Those Little Crow sure are different-looking guitars.
deytookerjaabs Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 Wise move, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

ElNumero Posted September 19, 2019 Posted September 19, 2019 What differentiates a baritone guitar? Just the tuning? Longer scale? More frets? Enlighten me please.

Enlighten me please. The main difference is indeed a longer scale but not necessarily more frets. And generally heavier strings. My D6 has a 710mm scale and 24 frets. https://duesenberg.de/en/guitars/d6-baritone

I used one for the first time on a studio session a couple of weeks ago. Ran it through a fuzzbox and doubled an alto sax line. It sounded like a bari sax. Hilarious!

I knew that Glen used it on that song as well as several others in his catalog. I just didn't understand the specifics of the guitar.
