This is what my ear told me, too. About 3-8 is where all the good stuff happens. I simply don't like the sounds up there around 12. Reminds me how they used to tell us when we were teens, "nothing good happens after midnight".
That being said, I don't yet have an electric with a cutaway. I look forward to the exploration down the road.
