Fretboard Extension

[DavidKOS]

That's wonderful - one day you may want to play those notes.

I was inspired to play high up on the fretboard because of this thread and realized that the 17th fret is a tiny bit too high on the E string side (only affecting the outer E string on the 15th and 16th fret). I don't know if I would even realize if I didn't read this thread.

So I'm not sure if I sure fret about it.

Ditto. This thread prompted me to drag out my cheap A2 clone and ascend to the stratosphere. Just about ran out of oxygen up there, the air's so thin. Should I approach that rarefied region more often? Why?

My thoughts are that having those notes on some mandolins and perhaps removing them from others, helps justify owning more than one mandolin, which, by the time one becomes comfortable in the nose bleed frets one is sure to have more than one mandolin.

Mine came with them, I am not one to go in for "elective surgery".
