Hi Jed, I had the pleasure of meeting you at Rick Fielding's imformal back yard git-together, this past summer.
I built a custom ordered Baritone guitar for Emmylou Harris about 4 years ago. She wanted somthing more bassey that those Gibson J-200,s she uses,couldnt produce.
Maple Burns (her stage manager) and I decided that a 28 inch scale, with a bottom C would be the ticket.
The body of the guitar is my own somewhat different shape, however I did make it about 1/2 inch deeper, for a more ballsy sound.
The overall result was very impressive and they seemed happy.
Due to her commitment to Gibson, she dosnt use it on stage, It is primarily a studio instrument.
Check out my web page for the photo.

If your interested, drop a line as I'm sure we could work something out.
All the best,
Glen
