Speaking of 24 scalloped frets... Is it just me, or didn't Warmoth used to do it? I could swear that on the old site, the scalloping page had a 24 fret neck photo.
I think its also a pain for them to have to support the extension. Yeah, you could put an extra piece of neck blank under there, but we all know that's not how Warmoth does things, and I for one am glad.
In their defense, the distance between frets is small enough that it's almost totally cosmetic. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't want it too!
