There was an old 7 String Washburn with a 25 inch neck at a pawn shop. I wanted to get it and make it fretless but they wanted too much money for it (not really, I just wanted to spend $80 and they wanted $120, wasn't going to happen
).
I believe both my 7 strings are 25.5" scales, and that's OK.. but I have one down to G and it's pretty floppy even with a 58. I really dislike the feel of power cables just to try and up the tension on my low strings, and would rather have a 56 at 26.5 or 27" any day.
30" scale 9 string you say!
Sounds fun. I feel like 8 would be enough for me, well I'm sure 7 is, but once again, getting a low E plus my B would be cool, do you have a high A on yours?
