If we are sharing pictures...
This is my '22 fret' go to solid body guitar - my PRS 594. There is nothing I can say that hasn't already been said about the fantastic 594 - its modern day classic, feels great to play and the PU's are amazing - lots of clarity! No wonder John Mayer was so full of praise...
However, I also have a my PRS Hollowbody II with Piezo and a one Piece Maple top/back. I love this 22 fret guitar!! It has the same PU's as my 594 but the 'Hollowbody' tones - the Piezo adds a beautiful chime to it too.
Both of these are Fixed bridge and as stated, both have the awesome 58/15 LT's and so have more in common than my next 22 fret guitar - My PRS 509. My 509 also has the longest scale length of my guitars at 25.25" and it also has the most 'different' looking Pick-ups too. Its my least played guitar as well - not because its 'bad', just because its my most 'different' guitar.
Finally, this brings me to my one and only 24 fret guitar - my Custom 24. I love the top on this and its my favourite aesthetically of the 4.
Its a typical Core Custom 24 and, like my 509, has the trem bridge. I don't really need the extra 2 notes that a 24 fret guitar offers as I don't tend to play that far up the neck. To me, this sounds more modern than my other guitars. My 509 perhaps looks more modern with its distinctive PU's but the combination of the 85/15's as well as the neck humbucker position does give the Cu24 a more modern vibe to me. Maybe its a bit of rose tinted specs and the fact that the Cu24 to me is the PRS - the guitar that I most associate with and have wanted for many, many years.
Also, by showing all the tops this way, you can see the primary difference between each - including how much closer the Neck PU is to the bridge. The rest of the necks and Head stocks all look the same and its only the 'owl' and where the neck joins the body that is most important to this discussion. Looking at all of these, it may highlight the fact that there are more 22 Fret guitars, more variation between each 22 fret model, all competing where as the Custom 24 is really only competing with its self.
I think every PRS owner should have a Custom 24 where as they don't necessarily need a Custom 22 because they may own any of the other 22 fret models PRS offer...
