Good video, I liked the 24 fret position more than I was expecting to.

It would have been nice to also do some tone comparisons with both pickups on - the 24 fret position can also make a significant difference to this as the two pickups are closer together, and it can arguably end up sounding closer to bridge + middle than bridge + neck.

The correct conclusion is that Eric Clapton (Cream Era) and Warren Haynes are correct.

I haven't heard that song in YEARS!
Hey Alexa... play the Escape album by Journey!
Great video Aaron. I was literally just kicking around the idea of another body and neck order, and was contemplating getting a 24 fret neck. Think I'll stick with a 22 fret neck.

Thanks for the great video.  It wasn't news to me, but very good to see such a well done comparison.

Nicely done!  Yup, one can hear the difference in the positioning. Are there neck pups designed for a 24 fret placement?

Doh......that's a great idea! Where were you last week?

Or, if one didn't have the specially routed body, the neck pickup could just be turned so the adjustable coils were closer to the bridge.

I like the 24 position if a full-size humbucker is used in the neck position. 22 for everything else.
