i think an equally valid question would be why are there no 22 fret rgs? i would be more tempted to buy one of those instead of their 24 fret offerings. |
Their have been 22 fret versions of many
ibanez guitars. People who play rg/jem body style usually want 24 frets. The s style is designed to appeal to the more traditional strat or les paul player, who likes that neck pickup right under that 24 fret harmonic zone.
