I just finished a Semi-Hollow Baritone guitar! Got a lot of problem while doing this one, but this guitar is so resonant in the end and has a wonderful tone (will try to make a video soon). Here is the spec:
SEL Baritone 28
-Figured yellow birch back and side.
-Figured cherry laminated top (cherry-poplar-cherry)
-Maple center block
-Black walnut binding
-C shape Figured mahogany set neck, long tenon (go under the neck pickup but in the end make not much difference with well made shorter tenon)
-Marble Wood fingerboard (12' radius)
-1" 11/16 (42,8mm) bone nut
-28" scale length
-Crushed Pearl Inlay with Epoxy
-Medium fret wire
-CTS concentric volume pot... I really like it, so much I'll do it on other guitars! It's very convenient!
-CTS master tone pot
-Jess Loureiro hand wound pickups (made in Spain). The neck pickup is a Wide Range humbucker in regular humbucker size. The bridge pickup is more like a regular PAF. This mix is awesome to my taste!
-Marble Wood pickup ring.
-3 positions switchcraft selector.
-WaterBased finish over Shellac over blue tint. I really do not like this finish, I'll try another product on the next guitar. Was really good until I buff it up!
You can check some more pic on Baritone Guitar and even some of the making.
