The Texan Baritone is my take on one of my favorite designs of the 1950s. Featuring a unique pickup of my own design and a passive treble and bass circuit, this baritone can achieve a wide spectrum of tones from percussive snap to piano sustain, all with a single pickup. Starting in 2024, all Texan’s will have a new body shape, still reminiscent of the classic 50’s design but with a new offset waist for a bit more balance.

Prices start at $3000 USD for standard options
