B to B on a standard scale would need some very heavy strings and filing the nut I would think but it ought to work… C to C might be a bit easier I guess. And starting with a Fender scale length rather than Gibson.
Those silver Gretsch baritones are quite good looking and the Squier baritone teles look alright too, they’re popping up a lot recently. Almost like they’ve hit on a way to sell another guitar to people who already have enough guitars…

Cool, I'll chat to my luthier guy and see what he has to say... I was thinking of using the Epiphone Wilshire but that's got a short scale length, hmm, don't wanna spend a lot but I did see those Squires and Gretsches and they're very reasonably priced...

I think I want a baritone guitar, what's the best way to try at home before buying? Chuck some heavy strings on an existing guitar then tune down a few steps? I know I'll have to get a proper set-up, it might be a fun way to get a bit more out of a couple of guitars that aren't seeing much use...
