30 to 40 inch scale 6 string guitar

I’m looking to tune down to Between double drop E and Triple drop C on a 6 string. To have any kind of tension at all I need over 30 inches of scale length as a Squier Vintage modified baritone jazzmaster can only realistically get down to double drop C and I want up to an octave lower than that. What brands sell/could make custom a six string guitar designed with a scale length of 32-60 inches designed to be tuned between 1 and 4 octaves down. Thank you- Juniper

GEAR:
  • Dunlop Big Stubby 3.0mm Dark Purple Guitar Picks
  • Stringjoy Signatures (Custom Set w/ Wound 3rd)
  • EarthQuaker Devices Acapulco Gold V2

I get the feeling this doesn't help much, but Sweetwater does sell Baritone Stratocaster and Telecaster replacment necks (27 In Scale, Maple Fretboard, 22 Fret) I thought of it because you mentioned the Baritone Jazzmaster and I'm not sure if it helps if you decide to try and make a custom Baritone yourself.

And on a side note: I personally think you're insane to try 4 Octaves down, but I absolutely love it!

GEAR:
  • Washburn T-24 Taurus Bass
  • Gibson EB-3
  • Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro Koa - Limited Edition

Yeah I’m looking for 30+ thanks anyways. And the quest for the brown note must continue, but on a honest note I’m probably max gonna go to Triple Drop C. There’s no reason to go lower as that is the lowest pitch percivable by humans, unless you want to gradually make every note unhearable till you get to 24th Fret highest string in that case you would need something ridiculous like Quadruple to Septuple Drop E.
