I can't really say that I prefer 22 frets over 24 (or vice versa). I guess I never really thought about it. Then again, I have never owned a guitar with 24 frets and very rarely play that high up anyway. ...........
To me it's not just about whether I play up there that often or not, it's about the fret board making sense visually. With a 2 octave neck I don't get lost above the 12th fret like I did with my first electric (LP copy) cos I know the fretboard ends in a sensible place. 22 I can live with, tone short of an octave, but 21???
WTF??
Obviously designed by a non-musician. Not saying everyone should have 24, just makes sense to me and how I play.
Loved Scott Ian's custom Tele he had in the 90's that had only 12 frets, can't seem to find pics tho. :(
+1, even if you don't use it, it just looks right, and psychologically is alot more comfortable to play around the 12th fret.
The LTD 1000 series is alot better than the 400. I've tried all of the 400 and 1000 series, and though they're both great, the 1000 series, are imo, £1000+ quality instruments. The H1000 Deluxe is not far from my Horizon. It's not quite as nice, but damn close.
Though the 400 are good, imo, its deffo worth paying the extra for an 1000.
