I had gear to trade in at Guitar Center and was looking for a baritone guitar since I curre3ntly do not have one. They had a Squire Paranormal Cabronita (P90) baritone on sale due to a ding in the paint so I picked it up. I have to say I have been having a blast playing around with it and can't wait to try out some surf sounds using it. I'll post up a better review later, but overall I have been impressed. I changed the strings out to XL .13 gauge baritone strings (light baritone) and added some treatment to the neck (it was really dry). Aside from that, no adjustments needed. Intonation was good and the frets are well done.
I realize I'm not a very good guitar player (be nice!), and this isn't surf music, but here's a quick "Short" I made using it tonight. It's kind of a western type thing.

I looked at that short, but the gunslinger playing that baritone looked too scary, so I shut off my computer.
Seriously, that sounds great. It’s tempting. I have a Bass VI, but the twang of that cabronita is hard to resist. Nice guitar and I enjoyed what you played.
