Baritone electric guitars have been in use with popular music for decades. Both ’60s surf rock sounds and spaghetti western soundtracks were full of these down-tuned instruments.

Today the baritone tradition is going strong with the aggressive lows of heavy metal. Extended-scale instruments like the PRS SE 277 Baritone Scarlet Red offer sonic adventurers a way to find new chord voicings.
