yeah that could be part of it for sure.

"No money up there" I heard a muso say once. Probably right. Once you're past the third fret it's all self-indulgence. LOLwillow13 wrote: ... I never really go past the 19/20th frets anyway

Re: PRS Consistency
I recall the guy from Crowded House saying he likes to use quirky, cheap guitars sometimes as they make you play different things. If eye-candy wasn't so important we'd likely all seek guitars that bring-out something different in our playing.willow13 wrote: yeah that could be part of it for sure.

Re: PRS Consistency
My playing career is littered with attempts at doing that. In fact I have a perfectly decent strat copy downstairs that has approximately 4 minutes playing time on it (by me at least).Molly wrote:If eye-candy wasn't so important we'd likely all seek guitars that bring-out something different in our playing.

Re: PRS Consistency
Mine too. I occasionally buy a Rickenbacker then wonder why it's no good for the half-arsed version of whatever's in the wee spectrum between Knopfler and Bonamassa. All very well buying a guitar that'll do other stuff if you're actually capable of playing other stuff.Danger Mouse wrote:My playing career is littered with attempts at doing that.

Happy to be corrected but going one to another they do feel different.godgrinder wrote:That would've been the main difference between a CU22 and a S24. Their scale length are the same (25"), the extra 2 frets only affected the neck pickup position but didn't make it any "longer".mrmofo wrote:
could be, the dude playing it was a monster shredder. might have been a combination.
the second link I posted has a graphic that explains the difference.
the bridge on a 24 is closer to the center of the body. that's why they kind of look cooler.

There are still some that think the neck PU is moved to accommodate the extra frets which only proves they cannot detect the difference in length of each.
