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 |

Location: Upper Left USA | 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! |

Location: East Tennessee | Baritone Adamas. THAT would be interesting.
Is there such a thing as a Baritone 12 String? |

Location: Upper Left USA | 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. |

Location: Earth·SolarSystem·LocalInterstellarCloud·Local Bub | 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.... |
