How many frets are enough?

See this guitar? It's nothing new, was available as a limited edition model for 2011 (sadly, not offered here). Want one?

For 2013, Ibanez is offering it as a Standard production model- RG550XH. It goes beyond the 24th fret for all you solo freaks but it doesn't make it a 'better' guitar, you won't be deemed as a 'better' player as well if you can go that far. However, it's a tool, if you have any need for frequencies more friendly to dogs than to the human audio range, by all means use it. Personally, I'd like to get a feel of that extended cutaway; would it induce me to go beyond my comfort zone & master something unconventional?

30 for you?

We heard of more strings in Ibanez guitars, this time, it's more frets. This is a limited edition Prestige RG2011SC (meaning: very slim hope of having any offered here); a 30-fret monster. It's also one of those rare RG not sporting a basswood body; it's alder. Wish it was NOT black & sport a non-whammy bridge.

EDIT
The senior players among us might remember the 30-fret novelty isn't new, Ibanez did it before with the AFD45 albeit the partial upper frets.
