pardon my newbieshness but how does a 27 baritone sound different from 25.5 scale?
Is it just the longer scale providing extra tension so you can down-tone lower than normal?

p.s. the more i look at that the more GAS starts accumulate

sifu, would you do us a favor and give a little review on how it sounds and plays? And how does it compare to some other 7s if you can, like the ESP LTD stephen carpenter 7 baritone or ibanez 7s.

If I remember correctly, a baritone is tuned to B... I think... ?

You know me so well, thats one of the guitars i was thinking about getting but decided against a 7 string.

I can tell everyone on here that agiles play amazingly and sound amazing, the price just makes them that much sweeter :)
