    Recommended Scale Length for Ab Standard and Drop Ab?

    To provide reference, I currently play on a Harley Benton multiscale 7 string (25.5-27"), but I am wondering what the general consensus on scale length in these tunings? Would 27.5 or 28 inches be a good length for these tunings to prevent intonation issues, along with a slightly heavier, but...

    $1200-$1600: What's Available?

    It's finally time for me to get rid of my old RG8WNF and finally upgrade, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts on the state of the upper-mid tier price range for 8 strings I'm wanting at LEAST a 27.5 inch low string, so that likely means going fanned or finding a brand that offers a 28 inch or...

    25.5 inch Vs 27 inch scale on Solo/Lead

    I'm sorry, I know each guitar forum already has many threads on scale lengths, but I don't find such the amount on lead aspect of things. Everyone knows that the 27 (probably objectively) is better for rhythm, but what happens if you want to also do solos? People say that you get a more...

    Scale length and tunings - Advice needed

    So I am considering getting an Ibanez RGD Prestige, with a the scale being 26.5. Is it possible/healthy for the guitar to be tuned to standard? Will the string tension be to tight feeling or even break? And will I constantly be needing to be adjusting the neck and the action? If possible, what...

    Help choosing the right scale length for a 7 string. Please help.

    Alright, so I am thinking about buying the Agile Interceptor 727 RN CP or the Agile Interceptor 725 RN CP and the only difference is the scale length. One being 25.5 and the other being 27. To help you guys on answering me, I will be playing downtuned, probably Drop A for the most part.

    Custom 7 String Concept

    So I designed this and redesigned this over the past year. I'm fairly happy with the design, but I'd like to actually build it. I really want to build guitars for a living but it's not so simple as getting together the cash to do so. It'd be a dream come true if I could get a company like ESP to...

    25.5" Scale or 26.5" (Baritone) Scale for drop c tuning?

    I am looking at getting a Schecter Blackjack SLS C-1 guitar but can't decide if I should go with the standard scale or go with the baritone guitar. It will be tuned in drop c (C G C F A D). I'm not sure of I should go with the standard guitar and just change the string gauge. Any tips?

    UK resident here. Just worked out the cost to get an Agile Interceptor pro 727 over to the uk... Not a very nice figure once costs are added. Is an old Ibanez XL seriously the only alternative we have here on the island? I know we have 26.5" but after working out my gauges etc on...
