If you're looking for something new that's both beautiful, alive, a blast to play - and - made by a luthier with an eye towards sustainability? You need to check out the award-winning Mendocino Baritone.
Barry Grzebik's lifelong love of guitars, woodworking, and product design led him to guitar making and the creation of the Mendocino model - and in this case, a baritone version. The basic idea was to create a guitar that fits in the ES-335 world, but is lighter and has more depth of tone - somewhat between a great ES-335 and an archtop.
To help achieve this goal, a 1-piece Honduran mahogany body is hollowed out (with the exception of a narrow center block) and topped with a 500-700 year old piece reclaimed Redwood, also 1-piece.
The results are spectacular - like the 6-string Mendocino, the baritone model is incredibly lightweight, balanced, and very alive and resonant. It's beautifully made and has a slightly chunky, late-50's Gibson-esq carve with a slinky overall feel - and most importantly, it sounds amazing.
Speaking of tones, the Lollar Goldfoils are a perfect match for this guitar. Open, airy, killer chime...clean tones are a no-brainer. These guitars remind us of a Jerry Jones or vintage Danelectro baritone, but with a slightly more open/chimey tone, and vastly improved playability. With some gain? Classic low-fi, deep bass swampiness that's incredibly fun and inspiring.
