I didn't think you need a baritone neck just to drop one step. Most bands these days that are playing in C are dropping the low D (after the one step drop) to C - so it really isnt that huge of a difference. If you want to go down 3 steps to B, like a 7 string, thats a different story. But like Shack said, most companies make baritone neck guitars. Warmoth also sells replacement longer scale baritone necks.
