My first electric was a 21 frets Strat and served me well over the years, the floating bridge was just ok and would do the job but not able to do creazy stuff. Then a few years ago I got me a 22 fret Charvel SoCal and I have been enjoying it to dead, having a good and stable floyd rose bridge is great and the extra fret was a good thing so I could those dramatic bends reaching a high E at the end of a solo. Then I got a used Fender just for resale but while I had it here it the bridge was fixed then I realized I really want a guitar with a fixed bridge, it was good to forget for a while of all the hassle related to restringing and tuning a guitar with floating bridge
So I have been thinking it would be interesting to have a guitar with a fixed bridge to play switch between Std E and Drop D and maybe try 24 frets for the first time, however I use the neck pickup a lot, I mean I really use it a lot both as a rhythm sound but it is the neck ler ad sound that really makes me enjoy playing lead. It is a known fact neck pickup in 24 fret guitars loose a bit of that warm sound but maybe there is ways to compensate for that and here is where I need your ideas and look for options.
* Engaging a graph eq pedal to boost some specific frequecies range when soloing? Would that be low mids?
* Using a pickup with a bit more of a certain frequency that gets reduced when going from 22 frets to 24 frets? Maybe some pickups you know work great for lead on neck position in 24 fret guitars? A Screamin Demon or Sentient maybe?
* Any other suggestion?
By the way, most likely the guitar would be either an Ibanez RG or S, basswood or mahogany body.
Thanks in advance
