Personally, I loved my Orion baritone, and in retrospect liked it even better than the regular scale Skylark I later owned, but I could not get past the active electronics to use it for my main guitar, and could not afford to keep it for a spare. I instead opted for a nice Giffin, which I run through an SF-2 to get those sweet alembic filters. But anyway, I still hope to catch a good deal on a Baritone someday, but not perhaps for quite that much.
