OK, I thought I had said everything I had wanted to say about this, until I tripped over this: http://www.guitarworld.com/review-jericho-avenger-long-scale-electric-guitar They're Jericho Guitars and they call it "long scale" with the intention of being able to handle anything between...

Yep, I'll probably contact them in the new year One more thought...  In addition to providing a replacement for the Fender 27" baritone, also consider that the 27" scale may be the sweet spot for a 7 string.  Think about it: 25.5" is too short for the low B string (too little tension) 28.625"...

Another...  Ibanez 8 string: (they also make 27"/26.5" for 7 strings) According to the Ibanez site (don't have the link) 7 & 8 stringers are also popular among jazz players, not just down-tuned metal.

Here's some pictures of other 27" guitars: Soloway: Fender: Gibson: Agile:

My 1st posting here.  This is something that I've actually emailed Warmoth about. Here's 5 reasons to make a 27" scale neck 1. Tall guitarists with big hands:  Gibson has created a special oversize LP with a 27" scale for Buckethead who stands about 6'6".  (I'm almost this tall myself) 2. 7...
