27" is pretty short scale for a bari. 29" and 30" let those two low strings do their stuff without the mud. My next bari will have multi scale 29" on the low end and 26.5" on the high side with the 9th fret @ 90 deg. Fretfind2d

Man that is an outstanding guitar! Too bad about the 23.5" fingerboard. I was just thinkin' though, didn't Gibson get their shorty fingerboards by sawing the first fret off a 22.75" fingerboard? Try measuring from fret 1 to 13 and multiply by 2 and see if that isn't it.
