Bouzouki:

Sobell scale length of 65cm or 25 5/8", almost the same as a guitar with no capo. 
Tuned [GDAE] or [GDAD] (the same as an octave mandolin). The extra scale length adds sustain and very "clean" sound. This can also be a Cittern, with an added lower course to make [DGDAE], [DCGAD], or similar. This is where the "Giant" crops in... the 6-course model has this scale and is tuned [DADGAD] just like the DADGAD guitar
