longer strings?

[Snork]

if im going to have a 27" scaled neck, i dont want the tension on my strings to be to great, especially because i do a lot of bends...etc. can anyone help? recommend a type of string that is really long to loosen up the tension?

Daddario XL157's 0.014-0.068, baritone guitar strings they're meant to be tuned a 4th lower then standard guitar on a 29 3/4" scale guitar neck (baritone). I'm gonna use them for C tuning on a 25 1/2" neck. They might be what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what you're asking here.

On a 27" scale neck, you should be able to use regular guitar strings. I use GHS Boomers .011 to .050 with a .070 low B on my 7 string, and there's plenty of string left over at the head to fit on a 27" scale instrument.

Higher tension is kinda the whole point of going with longer scale. If you want easier bends, go with lighter gauge strings, or stick with standard scale lengths.
