    Default 26.5" vs 27" neck scale

    Is there much difference in tone between the two?

    Not really. I downtune comfortably with both 27.75" and 25.5" scales. Just make sure to balance the scale length with a comfortable string gauge.
    Turn me on, Dead Man.

    Baritone wont make a huge difference unless you tune below C.

    I downtune to B standard, but since I only had the opporunity to test a 27" scale, I wanted to know if a 26.5" scale would have a tonal difference...

    26.5 might be a hair 'fatter', but not significantly.
    In 1861 as the Confederate forces were about to fire on Fort Sumter, the blue and gray had infinitely more in common than the blue and red today. What fellowship can "the truth shall set you free" ever have with "there is no truth, only points of view", or "what is truth?"

    Secession would be a horror. But barring a major national crisis like a Black Death magnitude epidemic or nuclear attack to erase once and for all the myth that truth is negotiable, it is coming.
