Default Who makes a Baritone acoustic?

I was wondering who besides Alvarez, Taylor and Goodall makes a 6 string baritone? I tried the Alvarez, it was fair, and Goodalls are above my $2k price limit. Does Gibson make one? I don't see much other than Alvarez to buy on Reverb, so does anyone have any ideas? Thank you!

Guild BT 240E:https://www.sweetwater.com/store/det...guitar-natural
I have the 8 string version and have been pleased with it. The only issue was that one of the bridge pins wouldn't seat properly, but it was easily fixed when I had it set up by my usual luthier.

Lowden, Santa Cruz, probably others I'm not remembering. Lots of custom builders. My Bari was made by Tony Yamamoto. Lance McCollum used to make great baritones.

Ibanez has baritone models.

If you're patient you may be able to snag a used Emerald X20 baritone for around $2k.

Guild makes a great value baritone.
You can get it in either a 6 or an 8 string version.

I own the 8 string version and quite like it.
