60s Teisco Orlando Baritone. A 60s Teisco Orlando baritone is a vintage, Japanese-made electric guitar with a longer scale length, often around 27 inches, designed for lower tuning. These instruments are known for their unique, “vibey” tone from single-coil pickups, a sometimes quirky but cool aesthetic, and a versatile sound that can handle surf, psychedelic rock, or drop-tuned sounds.
