It appears as though the only strings that have a length chart are the bass strings. I can't seem to find information on the length of baritone strings for D'Addario. In the string tension guide, baritones seem to be grouped in with regular guitar strings; so I wouldn't worry about string length.

daddario has light and medium gauges of baritones...no idea what the chart is.

Does that type of string come in different sizes? Also, what did you find out when you checked the D'Addario string length chart?

I am looking at buying a baritone guitar, and they have several scale lengths from 26.5 to 28 inches. i am considering the XL 157 baritone mediums, but it says nothing about varying scale lengths. anyone know if it does not matter (just more string to cut off) as long as its a "baritone" guitar using "baritone" strings. specifically the schecter C1 EX and ESP MHB 400. most likely the ESP.

also, i saw something mentioned on another set of baritone strings referring to a 3/4 scale length, any idea what that means?
