Hey everyone.
I thought I'd wait a few weeks for the honeymoon period to cool off before posting this NGD so it's a little late.
After several attempts to tune my standard 6 string to Drop A# and failing miserably, I thought I'd check out the 277 baritone.
First thing I noticed was that the guitar is actually pretty light in comparison to my S2. Despite it being lightweight I'm actually quite impressed with the quality of the construction and how nice the top looks (I assume its just a veneer). Also the little red streaks through the fret board on this particular guitar is cool. It feels incredibly easy to play. I am used to longer scale lengths from playing my 7 string anyway so this didn't feel massively different. The neck is pretty comfortable, not a super thin neck but definitely not too fat either.
Sound wise I am in no rush to swap out the pickups, for stock pickups they are pretty good. Through my 6505MH the guitar sounds amazing both clean and dirty.
My only small gripe is that I wish the tuners were locking as standard. Its not a huge deal since they do the job nicely but they obviously make string changes that much quicker. Overall though I am very happy with the guitar! I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a baritone to try one of these.
Time to go learn some In Flames.
