13 frets?! It's historic, sure, but is it scientific? Is it necessary? Santa Cruz says yes, and we'll let them tell you why: "A longer string length (more downward pressure at the saddle) and more air space via a deeper body (increased volume and bass response). To place the bridge in the optimal position for power and maintain the longer string length, the neck needs to join the body at the 13th fret." Now, we don't know nothin' 'bout that new-fangled science stuff (kidding, we totally do), but it sounds, feels and looks fantastic to us and that's really all that matters.
