Dear PRS owners,
I have a CE24 with pattern thin neck and I love it. I am planning to get a CU24. However, I am noticing a slight discomfort when I am sitting down with CE24 and accessing the higher frets 20+.
When I am standing, my left hand can be angled perfectly perpendicular to the neck on 20+ frets. If my fingers are perpendicular to the neck, the surface area of my finger tips touching the fret board is exactly the size my finger tip.
When I am sitting, due to the 25'' scale length, my fingers are angled slightly. This is requiring a greater fret distance/area to avoid my fingers accidentally touching other strings on high frets. I am experiencing a similar problem on Les Paul. But LP is worse because of the chunky design near the neck/body joint.
This problem goes away with Strat. Although PRS has a Silver Sky, I don't like its fret board radius, I'd prefer something flat.
Do you think CU22 would address my problem? Alternatively I can just stand and play CU24 but that may be tiring for a 2 hours long practice session.
My only concern with CU22 is that it doesn't have a pattern thin profile.
Thank you
