<p>Wonder why they don't show the baritone on the home page.</p>

<p>I went there and put 'baritone' in the search box. Seems they do sell that rail baritone steel, and I hist found the stats...<br/>==============================================<br/>29.5" scale</p>
<p><br/>24 frets (36 on request)</p>
<p>Mini series/split/parallel switch</p>
<p>14-68 baritone string set</p>
<p>Open B tuning, open C also works well</p>

<p>The guitar in the YouTube video is a <span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fouke Industrial Baritone Lap Steel. According to the information on the <a href="https://www.industrialguitar.com/product/bent-tube-indy-rail-lap-steel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fouke web site</a> the scale is 24 3/4" and it is tuned either open E or G. The bottom end is likely a result of the tuning (maybe E2 or G2).<br/></span></p>

<p>OK, is this right?<br/><br/>The 2x4 lap here is a 23" scale, the body is 32 inches long. That's a 9" difference.<br/><br/>If I used a 27 inch scale for a baritone, adding 9 inches takes the body to a nice even 36".<br/><br/>I think that places the bridge +4" from the butt, and the nut at +31 inches from the butt.<br/><br/>Correct?<br/><br/><br/></p>

<p>and from wiki</p>
<p><span>The most common </span><b>scale lengths</b><span> on a </span><b>baritone</b><span> range from 27 to 30.5 inches (690 to 770 mm).</span></p>
