Warren Ellis “5”

Description
Comments

The Warren Ellis Series of instruments continues to grow! Most are intended to be tuned in fifths including all the Tenor models, Mandocellos, Baritone Tenor and the Mandostang, but can be tuned in a wide variety of ways - including standard guitar tuning - making them the most versatile instrument family in the world today.

We have had many customers asking to fill another hole - this time with a 5 string Baritone. Why? They are looking for a baritone-tenor tuned in fifths (CGDAE, all the way up to the same high E as a standard guitar), that would have more range than a standard guitar, be more suited for classical, jazz, or heavy metal, have a longer scale length, and have a slimmer neck.

Have been wanting a true 5 string for Keith type open ‘G’ tuning. Would have preferred a standard neck length with a 1 7/8″ width but this looks like it will have to do. I am ready to jump on this but want to understand Pick Ups – picture looks like a HB and a Blade but I do not see switching. I like the one pot plan but want to know – is it one or two pick ups?

2 pickups with the individual on/off switches above them.

This type of turning will give you lots of advantages for playing chords I feel. You have the same chord form for first four strings or bottom four strings. Same chord form two different chords! Looking forward when they ship them out.

The description says Colours: Vintage Cream, Black – but the photo shows a red tortoise pick guard. Given a choice I would prefer Tortoise to Black – Does anyone know what color pick guard will be installed?

I would back this if it is going to be made as a lefty. Can you let us know if there is a plan for that? Thanks!

If you decide to offer this instrument again, I’d suggest you use 5 single- string bridges (which are readily available) or a true 5-string bridge (harder to find for guitar strings; easy to find for bass strings), rather than a 6-string bridge with an unused saddle.
