Did you have any issues with the transition to longer scale?

Only slightly, mainly because I play both bass and guitar. The only thing different besides the longer neck is that you have to put more pressure down on the lower strings

well, you can always try setting the strings a little bit closer to the fretboard, can't you?

For those of you not familiar with Baritone guitars, they are generally a longer scale length than a Standard guitar.
I expect that baritone guitars are ALWAYS, not generally, a longer scale than a standard guitar. Otherwise, it would just be a standard guitar with alternate tuning.

This review is too generous.

I put that in there because I know people who have been playing longer than I have that had no idea what a baritone was until I explained it to them. And I wasn't being generous, the guitar is honestly one of the best that I have played.

Well may it be, but I challenge you to go and play a Gibson Les Paul or an ESP Custom model, and then re-evaluate your assessment of this Jag.

^ fender owns Gibson anyday and ESP can suck it, the Jag wins

Agreed. I have played a Gibson baritone, and an ESP baritone, this blew them both away. The only thing I would consider better is the PRS Mushok, only because of the wide/thin neck.

Fender does not own Gibson, in any sense of the word. They are independent corporations, and have been since 1946. I'm going to assume that you've played neither a Gibson or an ESP, if you believe what you've written. If you're honestly of that opinion, then you have very odd standards for rating guitars. Otherwise, it's just trolling. Not very clever or funny at all, dude.

Baritone guitars are a niche market, and perhaps the Gibson and ESP offerings aren't brilliant. I don't know. But in general terms, both Gibson and ESP (and Fender, for that matter) have simply superb top-flight instruments. I challenge you to play a Les Paul Standard or a Horizon Custom and still say that they can "suck it".
