I have guitars in 24.75" (my main), in 25.5", and Warmoth's 28 5/"8 Baritone scale, which I have had for about a decade now since I worked there.
I am fine playing on the 28 5/8" transitioning from playing on the 24.75, granted, some wide reaches aren't possible on the baritone, but I tend to stay pretty pentatonic on the baritone anyway, which is one of the reasons that I built it, to force me to play in other voicings/styles.
I have no problem with the 28 5/8" scale length.
