The 27-inch scale length is probably the most important design element to the Soloway Swan guitars, and the elongated neck that results from longer scale length is the inspiration for the model name "The Swan". 

Combined with the chambered body construction of the Swan, the 27-inch scale length produces a remarkable level of clarity, presence, and articulation that most guitarists have never experienced.  When playing a Swan, the notes just seem to jump off the instrument.  The high end has an added, piano-like sparkle and the low end is tight, clear and focused, and our guitars seem to play "more in-tune" through the entire length of the fingerboard.

Our long scale-length guitars are not baritones.  While they can be very effective in lowered tunings, they are designed to be played at standard pitch. 

The Swan was conceived and designed around the 27 inch scale length, and we've made it a very player friendly guitar.  It is light weight and remarkably well balanced.  A flat fingerboard radius and extra large frets make the Swan extremely easy to play, so easy in fact that often players don’t even notice the extra length.  But they always notice the sonic difference and the unique way that notes seem to jump off the fingerboard.
