Due to the shorter scale length, would the 12 fret be more tonally accurate? With less sustain?
correct me if I'm wrong... the scale length is the same, the bridge placement is further back

On the 12 fret the Bridge is in the "sweet" spot, same as with the Baritone/Longnecks.

So why aren't there any Baritone Adamas I's?

All the beef and more fretboard!

Baritone Adamas. THAT would be interesting.

Is there such a thing as a Baritone 12 String?

There were a few built on custom order. I knew somebody, who, a couple of years ago was selling one.

I believe that W2 has a baritone 12 string.

For the relative "newbie" (less than 6 months) run a search on Baritone 12 and member 2043, you can see me crying in my beer!

But those were Adamas II by classification.

I'm asking the same sorta question on another post.
I searched everywhere I can think of, and no soap. I am sure that some one here knows all the actual specs.

I forgot to ask Al when speaking to him earlier today....

I played it at NAMM and the scale felt like standard 25.4 but who knows. It felt "normal" for an Ovation. Nut was definately 1-11/16. Dave
