Explore New Musical Territory.
The HopeMaker Delta 6 Baritone expands the HopeMaker platform with deeper registers, greater harmonic complexity, and exceptional clarity across an extended scale length. Built around a 27.75-inch proprietary aluminum neck and precision-machined Lucite body, it delivers remarkable sustain, articulate low-end response, and outstanding tuning stability.
Factory-equipped with Stringjoy® 14–64 gauge strings and professionally set up in B Standard, the HopeMaker Baritone is ready for everything from cinematic soundscapes and modern worship to country, rock, progressive, and heavy music.
Powered by the Freedom Performance Circuit™, the HopeMaker Baritone provides an expansive tonal palette while maintaining the clarity and definition players expect from every Rudder Guitar.
For musicians looking to push beyond traditional guitar design, the HopeMaker Baritone offers a platform built to explore what comes next.
The Baritone neck has 24 Frets with a 27.5” scale.
The Baritone Neck features a inline 6 headstock with Sperzel Black Locking Tuners.
With our composite fretboard comes lightweight and unparalleled tuning stability. Paired with our 6061 T6 aluminum neck you get all of that aluminum tone and resonance without any excess weight. The cross section is a proprietary feature of our necks.
It includes the 12’O Clock High feature to make playing above 12th fret to 24th fret easier and makes iconic riffs faster.
The neck is extremely playable, beginning with the 1.75" bolt on Polished Brass nut width with a thickness of 0.80" at the nut tapered not only on the sides, but the full back of neck all the way to the heel at 2.20" width with a thickness of 0.95" at the 24 fret. . The Neck has best action with the relief of .004" neck.
The HopeMaker Lucite Body feature over Wood adds the elusive midrange tones that wood lacks for more punch. Much more resonant than wood. Lucite is a very consistent material and much more stable than wood. Previous generation Lucite bodies have been known to be extremely heavy. Ours are milled to be lightweight and ultra-resonant.
HopeMaker Lucite and aluminum exclusive features are much more sustainable than wood, and recyclable. 70% of aluminum is made from recycled material, much less energy to produce. Lucite is also recyclable. All of the excess material is recycled. No trees were damaged in the making of the HopeMaker models!
