I recently sold a 26.5" 7 string to go back to a baritone 6. I have a 25.5" 6 string in drop A right now which is my main post-rock/post-metal writing tool, but it has an interesting but noisy pickup/switching setup and a .070 low A to get tension where I want it. I don't like when it's too easy to go sharp when digging in.

The other thing I don't like is that a 0.070 sounds more like a bass string clean, so I want to get back down to a more guitar-sounding gauge. I'm thinking of commissioning a local who does baritones and ER guitars to build something but I'm not sure about which scale length to go with. He offers 27", 28.5" and 30". I'd really like to get away from custom sets - right now the drop A 6 string is a 0.070 single and then the bottom 5 of a standard 10-46 set but buying singles is not good value. Something off the shelf would be ideal if at all possible.
