Story
For years, the Warren Ellis Tenor Baritone has been one of our best-selling 4-string instruments—and for good reason! With its extended scale length and stock CGDA tuning, it delivers a deep, resonant tone that sits comfortably in the same register as a traditional cello. If you haven’t heard one in action, you need to check out this demo video from RJ Ronquillo.
That got us thinking… what if we took things a step further into the orchestral realm and created a fretless version? Meet the MRG Cello Guitar: the Electric Cello you can strum!
Featuring the same scale length and low CGDA tuning as our Tenor Baritone models, the MRG Cello Guitar offers a similarly rich and expressive sound—enhanced even further by its semi-hollow construction. Custom mini humbuckers provide a warm, full-bodied tone that pairs beautifully with the instrument’s design. And without frets, your glissandos and vibratos will be smoother than ever.
