Alvarez MSB1 Traveling Baritone No. 2

I made this little baritone guitar out of a used Alvarez MSB1 traveling bass. It is in very good condition and I saw no flaws while I was converting it. This guitar is on a similar scale to a Baby Taylor and some may find the fingerboard a little cramped but if you play a uke or a mandolin you will have no problems and I am sure that nearly all guitar players can make the adjustment with a little practice. This model is the only one that I make that is designed to use baritone guitar strings and I have used and recommend D’Addario EXP23 .016 - .070. The guitar can be tuned to B – B or even A – A if you do not strum overly hard with those strings. With regular medium gauge guitar strings it can be tuned C – C or even D – D. This is one sweet little guitar and will definitely draw plenty of attention wherever it goes. I finished it with gold tuners and a sound port. I am selling it with the factory deluxe padded gig bag and all original case candy on eBay for $525. Sold - Thanks Stephen!
