Hey, I was close!!! But I should have remembered that as actives they built the 22 fret pieces longer than their passive counterparts. Which makes sense, chances are that if you play an active, you are not that stark a traditionalist to mind two additional frets.
Visually, I did not find those longe neck Ps and Js that ugly at all, some people might even deem the extended cutaway more elegant. And a high E is a nice thing to many players.
