Best 26.5" Scale Ibanez Electric Guitars in 2026

Here you'll find the best 26.5" scale Ibanez electric guitars. This scale is close to a Stratocaster's 25.50", but adding an additional inch to the length allows you to tune your strings lower while keeping the action low without causing fret buzz. This is useful for 7-string guitars or if you like to play in low tunings like Drop C. You want to avoid such a long scale if you don't plan to play in low tunings since the longer scale also means the frets are more separated, making it harder to play fast, especially for small hands.
