Even put up an IG poll at the end of last year and 21 frets won decisively. Something like 84% supported the move. Anyone that has felt this neck profile has really dug it. You might not, but at least there are plenty of 24 fretters out there if you're in the market.
I'm curious if there are any other IG polls in the works. Would love to see one on the neck width of 12-stringers! :D

Played one unplugged last weekend and really liked the feel of the neck. Aesthetically I prefer the look of the 21 fret neck on the 12 string, but would not say the same about the six, possibly because I am so used to my 6 string at 24.

Also played a 480XC for the first time and was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it.
