I think the Velocity would make a great 24 fret guitar. They're relieved behind the lower cutaway, so there's room for your hand to get up there. Also, the absolute outline doesn't really start until 22nd fret anyway. Relative to something like a Les Paul where you run into that boulder of a neck joint starting around the 15th fret or so, Velocities give you some real freedom. You'd have to reach a little bit for 24 frets, but nothing like the fight you'd have with most guitars.
