Best 26.5" Scale Jackson Electric Guitars in 2023
Here you'll find the best 26.5" scale Jackson 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.
Out of the more than 2000 guitars in our database, these are the best scoring ones. You can use our filters to the left to narrow down these results, or click on "Compare" to get a deep comparison between them. Our automated scoring system takes into account the ratings from ours users who own the guitar, and dozens of parameters to determine the build quality, playability, pickups quality, value for money, and more.
