MGBS2
28.5" scale baritone version of the single-cutaway MGS2, released 2020 for fans of low tunings.
About this guitar
The MGBS2 takes the MGS2’s single-cutaway body and stretches it to a 28.5” baritone scale, three inches longer than its sibling, while keeping the same classic-leaning, minimalist silhouette. It gives low-tuning players a well-balanced instrument without straying from Millimetric’s design language. Construction follows the house formula: a bolt-on neck built to feel like a neck-through, in-house hardware and pickups, and a choice of Canadian wood species and eco-friendly finish.
