Great post! I wonder if baritone guitars can be tuned like common gutars, without the F# string which I can't imagine how to deal with. I played gutars so long ago. Anyway, thanks for a very detailed description of the instrument. That probably explains why some guitar recordings don't sound real to me. They're so rich and full sounding.
F# is just five tones down from B; it's exactly like standard guitar tuning, only lower. In the same way that every string on your standard guitar is five tones higher than the last except for that B string, that's where the F# falls in, and why I have it instead of G. Otherwise I'd have to learn all-new fingerings.
Great post dude! The lower tuning of the baritone sounds really nice, and I think you may have found yourself one of the greatest hobbies a person can have... (I'm a bit biased) - can't wait to hear more from the taylor! I'm a fellow mpls resident as well, welcome to steemit!
Thank you. I haven't gotten the chance to perform with the baritone as much as I would like, but I'm really enjoying playing it by myself. Maybe recording and putting it on Steemit will be the thing that works for me. We'll see.

Haha, wow, the "Changing my name to Egon" song is brilliant! Hilarious and spot on!
Thank you!
I haven't listened to them all, but I love that last song, great voice, very pleasant ;9)
Thank you!
