One of our favorite guitar magazines, Premier Guitar, has a great article this month on the "tragically underused" baritone guitar.

We couldn't agree more - baritones have always been among our favorite 'specialty' instruments.

What's more, the nice folks at Premier Guitar have included a special feature on our very own Joe Veillette, and his long history with baritone instruments, going back to the original long-scale instruments he built for John Sebastian back at Veillette-Citron.

Thanks to Premier Guitar for the special attention, and for rallying around the baritone guitar concept - if you've never played a baritone yourself, go out and try one sometime!  They're an awful lot of fun, and you might discover a vocal range you never knew about!
