28" or 30" scale 6 strings?

[jzucker]

Do you offer that as an option?

Would the up-charge for that be the same as to get a 34" scale 6'er ?

Jzucker, as far as I know there's only one 30" 6 string tuned normally out there, just finished recently by Carey Nordstrand. He won't be doing another one again although I hear that it turned out wonderfulluy. I know that Roscoe will build a 33" scale 6er, which I would highly suggest, but I'd doubt you'd want shorter than that (or that they'd make it).

If I got a 28 or 30, I'd tune it like a guitar. Basically, I'm looking for a guitar with bass spacing. Essentially a piccolo 6 string. I have a 27" scale guitar but it has very narrow string spacing.

There's been a 30" scale piccolo Elrick on ebay for the longest time. You may be able to get that to try it out and see if you like it.

I've been trying to talk the guy into selling it for $2k but he won't budge. He's in AU also so there would be brokerage/import fees involved.

One other question on the short scale roscoe 6...Can you do 16.5mm for the bridge? My goal would be to utilize a 5 string width neck on it..
