2026 Grez Mendocino Baritone

Finally, a baritone that doesn't ask you to trade comfort and ergonomics for tone: the Grez Mendocino Baritone. At just 5.75 lbs and a 13.25" overall body length, this semi-hollowbody delivers the big, resonant voice of an acoustic-grade Old Growth Redwood top in a compact, gig-ready frame — perfect for filling the sonic gap between guitar and bass without the floppy strings of a detuned standard. Whether you're chasing heavy riffs, twangy surf tones, or unconventional chord voicings, the longer scale length keeps everything tight and articulate down in B or A.

No longer a curiosity, baritone guitars appear everywhere from Mark Lettieri's "Deep Sessions" to Ariel Posen's work or Phoebe Bridger's hits. Join the artists who have discovered that there is a whole world to explore a fifth or more below E.
