Baritone or conversion neck?

Fair enough.

I think my point was probably something like....

27" is generally considered the median range for baritone, so one with a 30" scale is nearing an extreme. It would be like buying a 27" for standard tuning which nobody does, they just buy a bass.

Baritones are already hard to find, so I'm sure the 30" variety is super duper sparse.

Hmm, Apparently, after they were released, Fender renamed the Jaguar Baritone to Jaguar Bass VI. And it was stated as 28.5" scale

"In 2006, Fender USA changed the name of the instrument to Jaguar Bass VI Custom. The term baritone guitar refers to one tuned B to B, between the tuning's of a standard guitar and a bass. Despite the Bass VI called a baritone for most of its production run, the Jaguar Baritone Custom was always designed as a bass."

I seem to detect a trend.

Did also like this Eastwood for me and maybe now for you:

Reviving a necro thread … I’m seriously considering this beauty:

I've never had a chance to play one, but I've always loved the way those Rivoltas look. I'd been pining after a baritone for a few years before finally pulling the trigger on a black Squire classic vibe that I found for $300 on Reverb. The thing is freakin sweet.

I still want one of the Rivoltas though. Might still have to get one someday so I can have a "P90/Humbucker" baritone as well :ROFLMAO:
 
Baris are cool.

Multiscale are better.

Could never gel with a long scale length and all that extra tension on the treble side. A man has to wheedle, goddammit.

It depends on how extended the scale is, though. 26.5" ain't bad. 27"+ can be brutal.

Multiscale gives the best of both worlds, extra snap on the low strings, reasonable tension on the high strings.

This is why I eventually chose a multiscale 7 string. It was definitely something I had to get used to playing (both the extra string and the multiscale).

If someone has a semi hollow baritone multiscale I’d be into it. I don’t see myself doing much weedly weedly on this one 😂
