After a few months of aggravation, I received my new Guild 8 string baritone today.
It was shipped from California to Utah in 2 days!
The guitar is beautiful and the set up is good with the exception of the octave string for the forth string. [.012]
The octave string [.012] is a lot closer to the fret than the regular string [,047] is.
This is only a problem when I use a capo.
The octave string is muted by the capo unless I apply way more pressure to the capo than I would like.
I may have a tech lower the .047 string slightly at the nut to see if that helps.
The guitar sounds great and I like the shimmer that the two octave strings add.
This is a better sounding baritone than my Alvarez was and I think that the octave strings are a huge part of the sound.
The guitar was worth the wait.
