24 frets! Celebrating two more!!!

[Eagle]

Do you like 24frets? And show us what you have.
I’ll start;

I need to take some pictures of the other ones but you would be forgiven for thinking I quite like the two extra notes.

I have a white frost Suhr modern as well but it’s so boring looking I have never taken a picture of it.

Sounds really good if you can stay awake.

Honestly I don't really care if I have 21 or 24 frets. I find myself pretty rarely venturing so deep into the "weedley-weedley-wee" territory of the fretboard. 22 frets seems about right without compromises like moving the neck pickup closer to the bridge.

I would only mind the pickup move if I only had 24fret guitars.
It’s an interesting question,Warmoth did a great video about it.
Also have you ever heard anyone complain about the sound of the neck pickup on an SG? You guessed it, same position as on a 24 fretter.

Yes: me.

My only 24-fret guitar. I prefer the tone of the 22-fret neck pickup position, but a great guitar nonetheless:

What about those firecrackle Washburn guitars with 36 frets?

I actually don’t own a 24 fret at the moment. I do like them though. Something nice about the symmetry of two full octaves on the neck

Let me know when you want to unload the Vigier.

23 fret = top end of HB
24 fret = back end of HB

 

[FuzzyAce]

Only one for me at this point and it's a vintage '77.

There ain't no money to be made that high up the neck. $ to $ it's diminishing returns the higher you go.

Some sweet guitars in this thread.

24 fret = back end of HB

Are you referring to the position of the bobbins?

lol, it looked like a 22 fret guitar to me. I read it as you being sarcastic and posting a 22 fretter. I'm a bit slow today...

Edit... Btw, this pic does the sparkle no justice.

I still have way more 22 fretters and a few 21s. But I like to visualise stuff on a full two octave fingerboard. I wish they all had a 24 fret marker though I find it helps when swapping between 22 and 24. Instant reassurance . The number of times I go for a d on the end of a 21 is funny.

 

[unix-guy]

Speaking of no 24th fret marker... But it's a short scale and I don't think a dot would fit between the frets!

The neck on this one! Pure Bliss :)

@Eagle this this the infamous "dead note" Suhr from the Fractal Forums:

This one I'm going to sell... It just doesn't get much play time. Very nice guitar, though.

My $400 Japanese Schecter. Great for what I paid for it.
