But did anyone answer the "what are the advantages" part? :vroam:

24 fret necks with birds get an owl. 22 fretters don't.
Same image from page 4.
This mystery has been solved, nothing to see here.
I always thought the difference was where you placed the neck pup. On a 22 it normally halfway between the 12th fret and the bridge and so supposedly sweeter.
Here's an animated gif that I think does a great job illustrating the difference between PRS 24 and 22 fret models. The neck pickup stays put-as Shawn stated, the bridge is shifted forward.
BTW, all the warmer neck pickup tone talk on the 22 fretters over 24 fretters may be seriously considered if there were no tone knobs or EQ control knobs on our amps .
Also if you're playing Leave That Thing Alone you need that 24th fret.
The real difference (beyond the obvious difference of 2 frets) is pickup placement of the neck pickup. This results is a different tonality.
The aerodynamics concepts were known when the "bumblebees cannot logically fly according to the laws of aerodynamics" myth was formulated (presumably by rather sloppy popularists of sloppy aerodynamic theorists... if such exist). As I understand it they simply forgot to account for vortex currents produced by the mechanical flexing of the bee's -obviously flexible- wingtips. Silly, really.If you studied what was known about aerodynamics at one time, you'd learn that a bumblebee couldn't fly, too.
