A pair of passive P90 pickups offers a broad tonal palette—from smooth cleans to gritty growl—while a mini phase switch, active when in the middle pickup position, unlocks a vintage-style out-of-phase scoop.The guitar is available in two finishes, Pitch Black and Sandstone, and is priced at $695.00.Key SpecsBaritone electric guitar with 27.5' scale, tuned to B-standard with Ernie Ball Baritone Slinky Electric Guitar StringsChambered offset body made from mahogany, featuring a bass-side f-holeRoasted maple neck with a C-shape profile, rosewood fretboard, jumbo frets, TUSQ nut, and block inlaysDual P90 pickups with volume and tone controls, plus a mini toggle phase switch that adds a biting, vintage-style quackGrover Roto-Grip Locking Vintage Turners, Tune-O-Matic bridge, and stop tailpieceUnique brushed aluminum front control plate and a back neck plate with TreeTone logoWhat began as a cross-coastal collaboration evolved into a bold take on an electric—a chambered, baritone-scale guitar that fuses East Coast sensibility with West Coast attitude. “We’ve been fans of Josh’s work for years,” said Eddie Park, co-founder of Orangewood. “His unique vision and attention to detail made him the ideal partner as we entered the world of electrics. After years of conversations, prototypes, and a shared obsession with character and tone, the Del Sol Baritone is finally here. It marks a turning point in Orangewood’s evolution—a fresh, distinctive kind of guitar that feels like the perfect introduction for those that only know us for our acoustics.”'After working on the first prototype together, it was immediately obvious that we were onto something really cool. Not only did the guitar look like a Del Sol I’d built, but it felt and sounded great, too,” said Josh Forest about the product development. “We went through a couple rounds tweaking the prototype, and the whole collaboration process just felt really natural and fun—like it came together exactly how it was meant to. What excites me most is getting my designs into more players’ hands, which is something I couldn’t make happen all on my own.'The Del Sol Baritone is available now exclusively at orangewoodguitars.com for $695.
