I added the trem and bridge. Was going through a Bigsby phase. It may be time to revert back to stock

More than 21 frets is a waste.

:wink: Quite a few guitars I built have 23 frets
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

they could have squeezed an extra couple on the end there...what stopped them I wonder? There is little evidence of any restraint elsewhere in that design.

Blimey, and it is a nylon-string guitar.

Molly's post made me look it up and the article shows another pic of another of his guitars, named Sunrise Sky. It has 27 frets in standard semitone spacing, but wait, there's more... Another 4 frets... But because they would have been too close for semitone placement, they are spaced a full tone apart :crazy:

Normal people play 22 fret models.

That is all I have to say on the matter.
never wanted to be normal...but also never saw myself as a sweaty, hairy, tatted, Nu metaller Mexican.

Perhaps I need to reflect!

My comment is specifically in reference to PRS 24 fret guitars.

I have owned several of them myself. :lol:

I have girly little fingers, and they're attached to small girly hands too. Hence I can't stretch them more than 3 frets down low. I still can't reach the high frets because you need long thin fingers.

meh I just can't win.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.
