I said overrated, not uselessI bought my baritone specifically to play cowboy chords
On topic, mine is the Warmoth 28-5/8 which i believe is supposed to be exactly two lower frets longer than a 25.5? I dont remember. Either way, I think this is the right medium point. A lot of people think 27 is going to get them oodles of extra tension, but in reality, it only gets you about a half step lower while keeping the same tension as your 25.5. And subsequently, my 28-5/8 only lets me get a full step down. It also doesnt really feel too crazy. Its definitely longer, but still fun and playable for all my usual riffs. REALLY fun.
I guess what I mean by that, is that 27 is sort of the bottom of baritone, which doesnt really give you much change. Whereas 30 is a monster, and will allow you to keep a normal set of 10s in B standard .
