Jerry Jones

Jerry Jones's Neptune Baritone is an electric guitar that is tuned down to either a 4th or 5th below a standard guitar. Jerry Jones makes some of the best specialty guitars that I've used, as the Neptune Baritone is probably the best baritone guitar that I've used to date. As far as the pick ups go, it's got single coil style pick ups that are made in house by Jerry Jones. It's got an Indian rosewood fingerboard that has one of the best feels to it that I've played, baritone or not... UTILIZATION Playing the Jerry Jones Neptune Baritone is really a pleasure, as it just has one of those feels that you dream about with guitars. This seems to be a trend with Jerry Jones guitars, as I'm really a big fan of the way their guitars feel in general. As far as using the pick up is concerned, it's got single tone and volume knobs and a pick up switch selector. Getting a nice sound is as easy as you'll find it to be on any guitar... SOUNDS While the feel of the Jerry Jones Neptune Baritone guitar is a huge draw for me, the tone is really what makes this guitar special. It's got an incredibly full type of sound that I haven't heard from any other baritone guitar. There's enough control that you can get a few different sounds, but I usually just end up using the bridge pick up since it's a bit deeper. I've used the guitar primarily for recording in a studio that I used to work at with a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier. OVERALL OPINION Without a doubt the Jerry Jones Neptune Baritone is the best baritone guitar that I've used. It seems to have some sort of influence from the Danelectro baritone guitars, but it sounds and feels like it's in a whole different world from those guitars (which I do like). The price isn't going to be a cheap as a Danelectro baritone would be, but if you're interested in picking up a top end baritone guitar, the Jerry Jones Neptune Baritone is the way to go!

The Jerry Jones Baby Sitar is a mini version of the Coral Sitar, offering up a less expensive option for those looking to get an electric sitar sound, or something close to a sitar while still playing a guitar. Let me start off by saying that Jerry Jones has some extremely impressive and unique line of guitars. I've also used the Coral Sitar and the Neptune Baritone guitar, and I've been nothing but impressed by the top quality feel and sound of these instruments. As far as the Baby Sitar goes, it has the same great feel and sound of the Coral Sitar, but in a smaller body. The only major difference that I can tell of between the two besides the size is that the Baby Sitar doesn't have any sympathetic strings and doesn't have as many setting controls, although the Baby Sitar does have tone and volume knobs for the single pick up. If you've never played an electric sitar, these things are just so cool overall. The Baby Sitar in particular has a very realistic sitar sound that is the perfect mixture of the sound of an electric guitar and the sound of a real sitar. It even has a leg mount for holding this up right like a sitar. While the Coral Sitar definitely has a fuller and more realistic sound in my opinion, the Baby Sitar has an awesome sound of it's own as well. Although it might not have the sympathetic strings to give it some drone, it still sounds incredibly like a sitar. If you can afford the Coral Sitar I'd recommend going with that, but for those who are looking to save a couple of bucks or who might not need the full Coral Sitar, the Baby Sitar is the perfect little electric sitar, not to mention how awesome it looks!
