The 700mm scale length means that the neck is a little longer between the nut and
the body, but half of that extra length is taken up by the placement of the bridge
being further down the body. This provides a balance between playability and tonal
response.

The Baritone
The Baritone model is based upon the O size but with a longer scale length (700mm rather than 650mm), and a deeper body (130mm rather than 125mm). These changes are to enhance the tonal characteristics of a guitar detuned to C or B.
“The baritone is designed to be played with ease in C, B or dropped B tunings and standard strings fitted are 70 to 16 gauge. Some experimentation on string gauges and tunings may allow more extreme tuning options.”
