I genuinely think every recording studio should have a baritone guitar.
I've always adored the sound of them. One twang of the low string instantly conjures mariachi bands, dusty desert highways and old cowboy films. They're capable of sounding huge, haunting and unmistakably cool, yet so many players have never spent any time with one. I wanted to change that.
I wanted the Indiana Baritone to capture all of that character without feeling unfamiliar. It retains the elegant offset shape, chambered construction and thoughtful details of the Indiana Classic, but with a longer scale length that delivers piano-like clarity, rich overtones and a huge, inspiring voice. Whether you're writing atmospheric soundscapes, country twang, surf instrumentals or simply looking for fresh inspiration, the Indiana Baritone opens doors that a standard guitar simply can't.
Like every West Valley guitar, it's built entirely by hand and includes everything I believe makes a great instrument. No gimmicks. No fuss. Just a beautiful tool for making music.
