What is a baritone guitar used for?

Baritone guitars are a great solution for guitarists wanting to use a lower tuning than the traditional E standard. They can be used as a main guitar or to add some extra character to songs that would benefit from being filled out with a lower guitar line.

What tuning is a baritone guitar in?

Lower tunings such as B Standard (B, E, A, D, F#, B) are common for a baritone, depending on the scale length of the guitar. A Standard is even possible for some, providing you are using the appropriate gauge of strings.

Can I put baritone strings on a regular guitar?

Technically yes but we wouldn't really advise doing so. The nut of the guitar may need to be widened to accommodate the thicker gauge strings and the guitar would likely require a setup for achieving correct intonation. That is why most people tend to choose a baritone guitar for lower tunings.
