Well, I'm not wrong...You sound like one of those old guys - "Nothing good happens there. The only people who go above the 20th fret are the dregs of civilization - you know, sailors, drunkards, women of ill repute..."
I know, but just could not get accustomed to 24 frets. It just felt weird to play for some reason. But it was very easy to play at the same time. I owned a Schecter that felt the same and it went as well. I don’t regret it though, as much as some of the others I have let get away. Tried a couple CE-22’s but they did not play as well as it and as most of my 22 fret S2’s. The CE-22 in my avatar is gone. Fretboard edges were not rolled and it needed truss rod adjustment way more than the norm.This seems very strange to me... I can't imagine selling the "best playing guitar I ever owned" because it has two extra frets, way up where if I don't like them I just don't go up there. What bothered you enough about them to make you sell the best playing guitar you ever owned?
For me it is different. If I switch from by CU22 to my CU24, which I used to do at gigs, the neck feels slightly longer. I found that if I push the guitar a little to my right it was easier to adjust to it. I know the scale length is the same on them. I am not sure if the bridge is a little farther toward the front end of the guitar or what makes the neck feel a little longer but it is definitely something I notice when going straight from the CU22 to the CU24. I have a 22 fret Suhr as well as a 24 fret Suhr but they are not the same model and I don't think I have ever gone from one to the other. I don't take the 24 fret guitars out much. I had planned on selling all of them but have not made it around to doing that.
Or maybe at your age you can't hear those notes to know they are not wrong or bad?Well, I'm not wrong...
I can definitely feel the extra length in the neck on mine. However, I feel it when I first pick the guitar up. After a few songs I have adjusted and moved on. I am fully aware of the different neck pickup position. That is another thing I don't love on 24 fret guitars. I don't seem to have an adjustment period to guitars with different scale length as long as they are 22 fret guitars.It is a slightly longer neck and the bridge/bridge pup is moved closer to the neck pup rather than move the neck pup deeper into the body and access being a bit more difficult to the 23/24frets. But the person who I was responding to had stated he found the 24 fret to be the the best playing guitar they owned and technically, the bridge is still exactly the same distance away from the frets due to the scale length - its just the body that is slightly further back as it joins at a higher fret.
There are differences between guitars - 25.5" scale has a longer neck than 24.5" in general and you have various other guitars that vary in length, shape etc but I'm still don't understand why, if something is the best playing guitar, having 2 extra frets makes such a difference you'd have to sell. They specifically stated they couldn't get used to 24 frets so sold it.
And that would be me. The guitar was built so well. Better than any of my other guitars, played so well, but I just couldn’t get the same out of it that my other guitars would give. And they were 22 fret guitars. It’s like I did not bond with it. I played with more feeling on other guitars if that makes any sense, and I sounded better.

21 frets? Is that a real thing??
Paul knew.Yup. Although I have a song, that at its apex, the “24th fret” octave(I think) is where the climax is. While writing the part, I instinctively fret the note needed on the neck pickup. I have 2 PRS that I can do it on. I think the screw on the high E string on the neck pickup is up high enough that it sustains and is in tune. Who’d have thought?!?
