Thank you! I'm doing a followup video now that I've upgraded the pickups and I'll go a bit more into why I'm keeping the guitar as opposed to keeping the HB baritone guitar that is the same scale length and tuning. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Yeah it's better now with a new bridge pickup. Video on that soon!

@@geirisk8 looking forward to that video!

Cool, what have you done to yours?

@@geirisk8 Lundgren M6 pickups Hipshot open gear locking tuners New nut Killswitch replaces volume knob, volume knob moved to tone knob placement, tone knob removed New switch New volume pot I can see myself upgrading to a better tune o matic bridge in the future and maybe adding stainless steel frets. There's a short video of it on my youtube

​@@thomasreuter1614 So is this essentially even the same guitar?

@@CFChristianthe guitar of Theseus

I love the looks of this one!

Hells yeah!!

Thank you!!

I can't say a whole lot cuz I havent played either but the rogue vi has a 30" scale and the paradigm has a 27" scale, which is a big difference so that would be your deciding factor. The 27" scale is standard baritone range for tunings like B standard or whatever, whereas a 30" scale is more of a bass vi, tuned an octave below standard or thereabouts. Depends what register you're aiming for.

@@alexwales8914 thanks for the advice. I think I'm more looking at the 27" as I'm mainly wanting a 7string style tuning for nu metal on a 6 string rather than the djenty stuff for now. Will buy one and experiment. All the best.

Do you have access to a bass? It won't be the same obviously, but it should help tell you if your pain responds badly to thicker strings and a more physically demanding instrument.

Yeah I've already swapped out the bridge pickup ;) Video on that soon!

What did you buy?

Yeah I've put the Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb pickup in the bridge and it is better but you're right about the stock ones being pretty decent!

I put Lundgrens in mine, and you're right about the nut - I got a new one and it's way better

@@thomasreuter1614 which Lundgren?

@@XChristianNoirX M6

@@thomasreuter1614 i have the M6 in a Kiesel and its one of the pickups I most dislike in my arsenal. However, it's not tuned that low and has way thinner strings because of the shorter scale length etc.. So maybe its not the right pickup for that guitar... Maybe I'll swap it in to try, when I get around to it. On my Kiesel, it has a really pokey, brittle, skinny, high frequency spike that isn't too pleasing. But i suppose it mkght work in the Rogue.

Hi again, I tried b standard but strings 5 and 6 broke. Any help please?

Try 13 gauge strings, in A standard tuning

What I thought that's the standard tuning for these tho

@@naivedays5421 found that it‘s E standard

@@mdnix but that'd be higher

@@naivedays5421 An octave lower than your usual guitar tuned in E I meant

Coming soon ;)

Uhhh, it definitely is

why wouldn't you consider a 30" scale to be a baritone?

While there are some 30" or near 30" instruments that are baritones (the Gretsch and the Danelectro are 29.75). A baritone is different than a Bass VI which is what the SubZero Rogue actually is. The original bass VI instruments are the Danelectro short scale six string bass (1956) and the Fender bass VI (1961). Current incarnations like the SubZero Rogue, the Harley Benton VS, and the Squire Bass VI are all modeled after these basses as they are tuned E to E but an octave lower than a regular guitar (several steps lower than a baritone which is tuned to A, B, or C below E2). The Rogue is set up for string gauge of 24-84 (with all six strings being wound strings) which is the main thing besides the 30" scale and tuning to E1 that makes these bass VI instruments rather than baritones. A baritone is usually 27" but even the longer scale ones use strings lighter than a bass VI (around 14 to 62) and the two high strings are plain (not wound) on a baritone. These may seem like somewhat subtle differences but make a baritone a rather different instrument than a Bass VI just as a baritone is obviously a different instrument than a standard guitar.
