Re: Found the optimal tuning/string guage (Re: Baryton guitar strings/tuning?)

Hi Stan,

I tune the Bari Neck Tele a whole step lower than normal guitar tuning. D G C F A D. I think the longer scale in this higher tuning (for a baritone) with .010 strings brings out the best qualities from the instrument. Sorry for being unclear.
