- | The first baritones were used to play classical music but it was Danelectro that made the original electric baritone guitars near the end of the 1950s. The electric baritone quickly found a home with the surf/instrumental bands of the period, in film soundtracks, and in country music, where it was muted, called "tic tac bass" and employed to double the part of the actual bass player. In the modern era, baritones have become common in metal and some types of jazz and improvised music.
