By pick-click, I'm referring to the pick hitting the extension...
Is pick-click on non-scooped 29 fret mando's technically bad form? I don't have an extension on my MT2 but any time I play an F with 29 frets and a non-scooped extension I dig pretty badly.
I'm looking at some F style mando's because I want to have a "stage ax" with a K&K pick up on board and it's a good excuse to allow MAS since I don't have an F. It drives me crazy to have a non-scooped florida but I'm wondering if my technique was better I wouldn't hit the fretboard/frets as much? (Hahaha full disclosure though in reality maybe I'll just save up for that Ellis or Kimble A I've always wanted...and toss the K&K on my Collings... )
Going back and watching some "Pros" like Benson on YouTube, it seems he actually picks a lot below the extension IF he's playing a non-scooped, and if he's playing a scooped mando it's funny to see he utilizes spots up higher...pretty interesting! I prefer the tone up higher though...so that's not an option I'd like to be forced into.
