I think I've found the baritone I want.

I used to hate Schecters, but the last couple of years the ones I've plinked on at guitar stores the quality has gone way up, in my opinion. I've plinked on some pretty nice ones lately.

Has a hard-tail, which I like (unlike the Ibanez RGD320 I was looking at), and Schecter has gotten rid of the abysmal skull inlay this model used to have at the 12th fret.


Now, I really need to sell my Carvin CT6….. I don't ebay and am hesitant to try craigslist. I might just see if Elderly's will buy it, though I won't get as much from them as I would selling it myself.
 
Speaking of baritones,

Would this be a decent sub for the 6-string bass Perry plays on Back in the Saddle?
 
I have a 2009 Blackjack baritone. It’s the best guitar I own. Extra-jumbo frets with immaculate Korean fretwork are a dream to play. The only problem I’ve had is that the black chrome on the knobs and bridge has just turned to plain chrome where I regularly touch them. When my idiot brother-in-law broke off one of the tuning knobs Schecter sent me a free one instead of charging.
 
Well, I went to Elderly's today to buy strings. Needed some 10's anyways for some of my other guitars. The guy helping me behind the counter looked on the rack for a set of 13's, looked in the computer, and said they were out :(

They had a set of 12's that were dirt cheap (Ernie Ball) so I bought a pack of those to try out. Haven't put them on yet, but I figure I'll need to widen the nut slots, as I had 11's on the CT6 about a year ago, and a few of the strings 'pinged' a bit while tuning up. What's a good way to widen the nut slots without taking it somewhere and having it done? It has a graphite nut, I believe.
 
You can buy a set of nut files cheap from the forbidden music store. If you’re in a hurry you can use dollhouse files from hobby store, but go slow and be sure to file out, not down.

Those bargain basement models that most shops stock have always been crappy but once you get past those, the rest of the Schecter lineup as always had decent to very good quality IMO. Many just aren't something that I want. Had a Blackjack Tempest that was top notch F&F with great appointments.
