Registers, part 3
In a recent recording session, I was using the 24, 28, and 36. The 36 has 24-fret fingerboards; the 24 and 28 only 20-fret fingerboards. It's a major difference.
There were times with the 24 and 28 that I was running out of fingerboard. I've never previously felt this. Maybe it was because I started the session using the 36 and then switched over. Not sure.
At the time, it was a bit of a limitation. I've not felt that limitation since, but it has me thinking about getting my luthier friend to add fingerboard extensions to the 24. If so, I don't think I'd stop at 24 frets; I'd likely go to 27, bringing it up to high G.
I've never seen an added fingerboard extension. Not sure what I'll do, if anything, but it's an intriguing thought.
