whoever said that pete used baritones, I think you are wrong. baritones are made to sound like a 7 string without the first string. I think he just slapped some heavier strings on a regular guitar, like 12's or 13's. that's what I did. This is a good album. I think I like Vena Sera more.

Actually Pete has stated in interviews that he used a single baritone guitar for the entire album and he was quite proud of it.

oh, I didn't know that. I assumed baritones were for even lower tunings. I guess I'm kinda ignorant. but if you want to play as low as chevelle, but don't want to spend the money on a baritone, just use thicker strings. way cheaper.

Pete has custom-made PRS 22's and 24's to handle 12- and 13-gauge strings, which support the Drop A# he debuts on this album (anyone who's tried playing that low with anything lighter than 12-gauge strings will know exactly why he does, too). Technically they aren't baritones; they're just a little heavier-duty to handle the additional tension. Adding thicker strings to a normal guitar will accomplish a similar sound; I've even heard of people stringing their electrics with acoustic strings to handle Drop A# and beyond. Probably the main reason it might sound like a baritone is because Joe's bass is tuned accordingly; try getting The Clincher to sound right in the opening breakdown -- without a bass accompaniment -- and you'll know what I mean.
