Baritone acoustics are a special breed and you don’t see them that often. Even more rare that you see them designed with a modern aesthetic, and perhaps one-of-a-kind that you see one made with an adjustable aluminum neck attachment. That is the trademark design from Benoit Lavoie and his guitars.
The baritone shown here is exceptional. Adirondack top with Bubinga back and sides with a design tuned so that the Helmholtz frequency is A#. This is very low. It doesn’t get any better than this!
