my bari. is a 26 1/4 scale.....bit short for a bari....but I usually don't go below B....in fact I never go below B.....I mainly use the guitar to get good drop tuned tones on heavy/alt. rock....anything lower than B and I will be fighting too much with the bass guitar....here is a picture of it....it's the black LP style body on the bottom left...really a fantastic guitar....wouldn't trade it for any other bari.
