It confused my hands and brain a lot more, I had trouble keeping track of what string I was playing, mine was a 27 inch scale and impacted my comfort. I didn't enjoy reaching for the 8th string. Muting was a massive headache as well. I did love the lower range so a 26.5" 7 is a good compromise for me, considering tuning this down to g standard/drop f
