What a Bacci Baritone Does — The Dual Output Story®

One player.
Two instruments.
One neck.

The Bacci baritone carries two independent outputs — guitar and bass, from a single instrument. It is the only signature of its kind in the world.

Two outputs, one player
The maker
Bruno Bacci · Tuscany
What it does

A guitar and a bass,
played at once.

Reach for the low strings and a bass voice comes out. Reach for the high strings and it’s a guitar. Split them to two amplifiers and one player becomes a whole low end and a whole top end — at the same time, from one neck. No pedal trickery, no octave box. Two real, independent signals, wired into the wood.

On the biggest stages

One instrument,
the range of a whole band.

From Snarky Puppy to Korn, the Bacci baritone turns a single player into a full low end and a full top end — the reason it keeps turning up under the hands of the players you love.

Dan Mudd · the line that started it
01 · The origin
“If this guitar had more bass, it would be amazing.”

When the bluesman Dan Mudd plugged into Bruno’s very first baritone, that one sentence opened a gap — and Bruno set out to fill it. He fitted half of a Precision bass pickup alongside the guitar pickups, gave each its own output, and the Leonardo dual output was born.

Not a compromise between the two. Two instruments, honestly, in one body — born of a lifelong obsession with expanding the frequency range of the electric guitar.

Or keep both in one output and let them blend — a baritone that already sounds like two players. The choice is yours, live and in the studio.
A

Split

Two cables, two amps. Bass rig and guitar rig, driven by one pair of hands. A full band’s low-to-high in a single instrument.

B

Blend

One output, both voices together. The signature Bacci width that made people stop and ask what they were hearing.

C

Switch

Guitar for the verse, bass for the drop. Move between the two worlds mid-song, with no second instrument to pick up.

The signature

The only one
in the world.

Plenty of makers build baritones. No one else builds this. The dual output is Bruno Bacci’s invention — designed, developed and built by his hands alone, in Tuscany, and backed for life by his own lifetime warranty. A baritone the players you love reach for precisely because nothing else does what it does.
