@boo Hi never made a baritone before. I made a 32 inch scale lenght bass bandsman and used a 23 11/16 inch truss rod that just made it spot on for a 24 fret with a standard neck heel for the fretboard...

Had a lot midges cock but managed to get it perfect. Phew. Almost every build in fact. I think that’s the reason why I build so much, because I want to go through life knowing I do not experience the ...

@boo highly highly recomend for any luthier
