Thread: Warren Ellis 5 string Baritone Tenor

    Default Warren Ellis 5 string Baritone Tenor

    I am brand new to tenor guitars and I have no idea what a 5 string Baritone Tenor is , but it looked cool so I bought it.
    I had to order and the target date of getting it is sometime in February maybe.
    After seeing a few Waren Ellis guitar videos I really enjoyed the sound of all his electric tenors.
    I saw the 5 string and thought now that is even cooler if all else fails I can tune it GDGBD and dedicate it to all Stones all the time.
    Forgive my ignorance but I really don't know this is a 26 inch scale and all my other guitars are 25 1/2.
    Will I still be able to use my 9s and have a sound that I'm familiar with?
    Will the 1/2 difference in scale be a huge difference?

    True tenor guitars have four strings and a scale length between 21 and 23 inches. Any thing longer is a plectrum guitar. At 26 inches you will have your fingers doing some stretching and would be very difficult to play tuned in fifths.
