I think the Brass Rail is also that scale length. I think the neck on the 6 string is likely longer than that though, I'm curious because I've been looking into Baritone guitars lately.

Noriyuka Yusa is the man who owns the trademark for the Mosrite name. They build guitars in Japan. I believe Adam knows him and knows a lot about the history and details. I know Mr. Yusa is a huge fan of Mosrite guitars.
