Caramel Bursting Out Of the Roaring 20's When we talk about classic guitars we often refer to 50's and 60's Les Paul's, Strat's and Tele's mainly because this was when solid body guitars really became mainstream and were picked up by so many artists we still celebrate today. However its true to say that most decades had there shining moments (NO 70's, NOT YOU... Bad 70's).Many forget the evolution of the acoustic guitar went through many changes prior to World War 2. As an example parlour/folk style guitars became more popular in the 20's but as the decade came to a close the great depression began. What Barton Rouge hasn't done is copy a group of guitars from the 20's, what they have done instead is create a range inspired by instruments from the era ... very clever. Similar to car manufacturers who create classic cars with reliable engines, electric windows and air conditioning Barton Rouge have used their expertise to provide the reliability, tones and overall quality at unbelievably low prices yet the style and feel from the 20's.This example comes in the beautiful "Caramel Burst" finish and features a spruce top, mahogany sides and at current prices is around €279 ... yet just listen to it, compare it against full fledge similar guitars which can fetch thousands.

Sweet fingerstyle guitar for a killer price. With a price tag of approximately 700$, its BR-2P pickup, slim nut, solid cedar top and mahogany body, the Baton Rouge X6C/ACE Mystique is a great guitar. Cedar is known to have sparkly treble voices, mid-defined bass and considered a durable wood, this makes the X6C/ACE Mystique a good candidate for the percussive fingerstyle player in our opinion. The fact that Baton Rouge chose to feature this model with the Shadow BR-2P supports this thought, as this pickup is mainly designed to pick up even the most subtle percussive playing across the entire guitar. But that does not mean you should not consider the Baton Rouge X6C/ACE Mystique in case you are not a percussive player, it is in general a good sounding, very comfortable to play guitar which offers great value for money.

A Percussive fingerstyle kind of guitar. The Baton Rouge AR11C/ACE is a traditional auditorium size guitar, sports a narrow 1.69" / 43mm nut width and has well emphasised mid range. Open pore natural finish, like on the AR11C/ACE, often gives more grain to the overall sound of a guitar which comes very handy when you play different percussive styles on your guitar. Usually though the difficulty in getting a good percussion sound from your guitar is when it is plugged and not unplugged. Baton Rouge researched the subject and in collaboration with Shadow electronics created the BR-2P, a two way pickup system designed specifically for getting the best percussion sound when amplifying your guitar.

Cedar / Maple sound for the percussive player. The Baton Rouge AR21C/ACE is a traditional auditorium size guitar, sports a slightly thicker than the standard 1.8" / 46mm nut width and has well emphasised high range. Open pore natural finish, like on the AR21C/ACE, often gives more grain to the overall sound of a guitar which comes very handy when you play different percussive styles on your guitar.

Understated at first glance with hidden flare. This is a guitar which lives in very many world, at first glance we have a stylish clean modern classical shaped body, Solid Canadian cedar top with a smooth cutaway. The Ovangkol fingerboard houses just a single tasteful fret marker on the 12th fret continuing the minimalist approach.But as we inspect this steel strung beauty further the back and sides burst into life. Solid mahogany creates both a warm tone and appearance that oozes quality and sophistication.Throughout the body between these tone woods is maple binding, the three woods marrying up in design and tone provides a strong full bodied sound which will cut through a mix and stand strong during solo performances as you can clearly hear from our demos. The pickup system is provided by the in house Baton Rouge BR-2P system with plenty of control over the tone to suit your style and stage.  Perhaps the most amazing thing about this guitar is the price as it punches well above its weight, worryingly for guitars twice its price point. This guitar offers quality workmanship, tones, woods and looks all wrapped up in a value for money package.
