Have PRS pretty much given up on new 24-fret designs?

Although it seems I own more 22fret PRS Guitars now it's only because I love the sound of the new models. Paul's guitar and Modern Eagle V have 22 frets. I love the 408 TCI pup tones but I sure wish they would make Paul's and MEV with 24 frets. PRS did make a Paul's guitar with 24 frets once it was called Brushstroke 24. I had one but moved it when the MEV's came out. I was going MEV hog wild LOL. How I wish I had that Brushstroke 24 now and wish PRS would upgrade the pups the the new 408 TCI's. I also wish they made a 24 fret version of the 513. Damn good thing there's always the Santana and Cust24 models!!

They should bring back West St. Limited with those hot non-waxpotted pickups! Make trem and stop tail versions!!

I mean, they should really just cease production of everything besides West Streets.

Fast Man....let me tell you my story
I thought that for years also, but I remember an interview where Paul said everyone thinks that Santana tone for that comes from the back pickup, but it's actually the front with the tone rolled off. I could be wrong, but even in the video the toggle seems to be down. Great sound nonetheless.

OK this doesn’t really help, it I thought that this should be shared.
Two mini-toggles here, so quite difficult to see what CS has selected-

Fine by me.
I never use the neck pickup and I’m rarely too far above the 12th fret.
22, 24, 26…it doesn’t matter to me!

All 24’s all day for me. Have a few Custom 22‘s for a different taste but and least there’s a kabillion CU24’s out there to choose from on the used market.

Well they have basically have the 24 Fret Custom24 'range' of guitars - Cu24, Cu24-08, Cu24 Floyd and Cu24 Piezo as well as all the Cu24 options down the tiers. Then you have the 'artist' 24 fret models like a Santana, Dustry Waring and Holcomb too so unless another Artist wants a 'different' design, then they have a 'range' of 24fret models that are 'definitively' PRS - from the body shape, to scale length and Radius.
With all those '24' fret models all competing against each other, let alone other 24 fret guitars musicians could buy, it probably doesn't make sense to add another into the line without it being 'Artist' driven - a 'signature' model designed for/by the Artist and likely to 'sell' because of the Artist connection.
If you want something 'specific' and 24 fret, there is the PS route too...
