Those caparisons and the Kiko sig model always make me think of the Guthrie Govan video where he says (jokingly) that the guitar he is playing is a "grown-up guitar" so it only goes up to 22 frets.
I wouldn't mind messing around with one of those if it werent for the positioning of the neck pickup when the extra frets are added. I really wouldn't mind a Stephan Forte sig. model but I think the neck pickup issue would be too much for me. Anyway to the both of you....nice axes!
It's the positioning issue i mentioned. More frets=less distance between the bridge and the end of the fret board so the neck pickup is closer to the bridge that normal and the tone is a lot different.
