there is a way you can still play. I am sure you will be in a sling….I had one that had this shelf sort of thing…by putting your fingers up around the 12th fret you can still do a finger flick type of strum all fingers perpendicular to the strings and all fingers extend on the down stroke and all flex back to a closed hand sort of a position for the up stroke. Desperate times call for desperate measures. It is not ideal but it kept me in the groove.
