Baritone guitars are tuned to either A to A or as these are, B to B--that's two and a half steps below standard guitar tuning. A staple for Country and Rock music styles, these two new baritones offer a tight low-end sound for playing distinctive and colorful melodies or thematic leitmotifs. Sounds possible range from powerful aggressive tones going from chimey clean, to warm depths, to articulate tonal hostility.

Both these guitars have 27.7-inch scale lengths with the PRS SE 277 Semi-Hollow Soapbar going with a maple top with chambered back, F-hole, and dual soapbar pickups.

Sonically apples to oranges, the PRS SE 277 has the same neck but with a solid body and PRS SE dual humbucking pickups. The SE 277 covers the spectrum of sound from sparkling highs, to surf-rock jangle, to heavy dropped-tuned aggression.
