I really need a 14-fret neck. How am I going to love that when 12-fret guitars sound so good????
Don’t worry. As with all discussions of guitar tone, construction, and tonewood considerations, we exaggerate a WHOLE LOT to make a point. The differences are subtle, and any slight gain that you would make in terms of that “something extra” from a 12 fretter, you would miss terribly if you couldn’t play what you want to play.
