Question: How many frets can a guitar have!?
My Fender only has 22!. I was just looking at the tab for Seek and Destroy by Metallica and there is a note played on the 28th in the solo!. At first I thought it might have been a mistake but the tab was rated by like over 200 people so I'm sure it's right!. I just didn't realize guitars have that many frets!. Is there a limit on how many frets can be on a guitar!? or what is the most you've seen!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Most guitars have either 22 or 24 frets!. I'm sure that it is possible that someone could have a guitar custom made with more frets, but they will be expensive and quite uncommon!. I'm guessing the tab has an error!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
