Badscrew Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 Hi all! Is anyone here who prefers 12 fret necks on their acoustics?  I find these more suitable for my style of playing (fingerpicking, rhythm guitar) and more comfortable, and I pretty much never venture to the "dusty end of the fretboard" anyway  If you're like me, what are your guitars?  Let's chat and shun those 14 fretters with their useless long necks Quote

I'll tell you one thing I've really grown to dislike, though: cutaways on an acoustic guitar body. Purely a cosmetic thing. Same as I don't like the look of the neck angle from the player's pov on a Les Paul, or a slimmed-down neck joint on the back of a Strat, or a 22nd fret on a Fender style. Some of these are not dealbreakers, but I really wouldn't want an acoustic with a cutaway. Quote
