This is a brief comparison between a 12 fret neck joint and 14 fret neck joint guitar. There has been a recent surge in interest in 12 fret guitars, so here we are putting them to the test. The two guitars we tested are near-identical models. Both CS-09 Ziricote JCL's with master grade Sitka Spruce tops. Both were built side by side at the same time while under the same conditions. The only differences are frets to neck joint, and the Cephalopod inlay on the 12 fretter.
