Yeah, all those cowboy chords wear out the first two or three frets quickly...I think of those 2 extra frets as installed spares for swapping out worn frets at the other end of the board.
It's warmer because the neck pup pole pieces are almost directly below where the first harmonic of the open strings has its maximum amplitude, half the distance between the 12th fret and the bridge saddles. That's where the 24th fret is & hard to have a pickup and fret in the same place.Tone. The neck pickup is further away from the bridge on the cu22. Makes for a warmer neck pickup.

I like both.
No reason not to have both, especially because I get paid for my sessions and it's true, if there's money that high on the neck, I sure haven't ever seen it!
Kinda like the tone control.It’s just good to know it’s there.
You mean like the knobs that come on basses?Kinda like the tone control.
