I'm posting this just because I'm curious. Which scale length would you prefer between 27" and 28"?

28" for extra definition and just generally better tone..

28" will handle the low F# better than 27".

28" seems more appropriate.

Ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance only hides the truth. And the longer that truth has to hide, the more it stings when it makes itself known.

When we are saying 28" we are talking about 28,625 right ?

The Ibanez Mushok baritone was 28" and it went down to F without any problems at all, and felt fantastic at that tuning even on the stock strings
