Tim Midgett's Baritone from Silkworm. Will be converting it back to baritone over the next few weeks. All original electronics. Tuned to bass VI tuning (Standard E, but octave lower). A,D,G saddles were shortened. The E saddle was replaced with screw like piece used to hold the E string in position. This was used to help with intonation. B,E saddles are unmodified.
