Baritone Guitars

Does any one have one? I've recently started looking for one (thanks to The Evens) but I realized to my dismay that Danelectro no longer makes a baritone model :( The only other one I'd be sort of interested in is one made by Eastwood guitars. Does anyone else make a cool baritone?

    I want this one so bad it hurts:

    But it's a lotta money for a guitar that's half a gimmick.

    This seems to be the most stylish one at a reasonable price

    I have tried playing them, I find them just plain weird....

    got a spare fender-style guitar around that you wouldn't mind swapping necks on? warmoth (and other places i'm sure) sell baritone conversion necks that bolt straight on to typical strat/tele/etc (i.e. 25.5" scale guitar) bodies without having to modify the body at all.

    That Taylor looks sweet. I don't think I've ever seen an 8-string, in person at least.

    That neck conversion thing sounds awesome. I don't exactly have a guitar I'd want to convert but it would make it easy to have whatever baritone guitar i want.. lol

    Danelectro bought out a baritone last year (in the UK) as part or the dead on 67 range, which is based on the hornet...I tried on I thought they were fairly decent!
