Lemme make sure I have this straight (forget about the strings & tuning - talking strictly about size)
Baritone - biggest body, 20" scale
Baby Baritone (?) - slightly smaller body, 19" scale
Super Tenor OR Long Neck Tenor - bigger then Tenor, smaller then Baritone - 18" or 19" scale
Tenor - smaller body, 17" scale
So I (only playing couple months) currently have a Baritone & a Tenor.
Mebbe it's from switching back & forth - but to me the Baritone feels a little too bit big - especially the neck. The body feels slightly large, but not much.
The Tenor neck feels a liitle too squished. The body feels sliiightly too small at times.
This led me to finding out about things like Long Neck / Super Tenors - and a couple references to Baby Baritones. But in almost everything I can find, they are all custom made ones costing thousands.
Is there some happy medium that has a body size between the tenor & baritone and something like a 18.5" scale (without spending thousands)? Is this just me and if I stick to say the Tenor I'd get used to it just fine?
If it matters, I would want to tune it Low-G.
