Who has always played on 22 fret electric guitars?
Who acquired a 24 fret electric guitar then wanted to abandon all 22 fret guitars like they no longer suit them?
Who finds it to not be a big deal to go back and forth?
Who's played on like the 21 fret Fender Strats? Strats didn't get the 22nd fret until the 80's.
My younger brother says there's this song that David Gilmour when he plays live neglects to play the complete solo of because of frets of guitars he uses live, denying my brother of the solo's climax because of it!
^Something about the bends at around 4:33 & 4:43 he says.
And here's him on his brandless 24 fret studio guitar.
And, last question, who plays Acoustic Guitar exclusively on cutaway acoustics for the higher fret access?
There's a video of Steve Vai showing his guitar collection with some that have like a weird 16 frets per octave and another with like 30 frets etc.
Me, once I played on my first cutaway acoustic guitar I wanted to exclusively do that because of finding the non-cutaway acoustics so limiting for lead.
And, aside from trying my bro's 21 fret Gilmour Fender and also his 24 fret Ibanezes, I've only played on 22 fret electrics. I figure the 23rd & 24th fret will be nice to have someday (2 full octaves of frets w/ unbent strings), but in the meantime I'm quite accustomed to the last fret with a full step bend being the method with which to access that 2nd octave up.
Obviously the notes repeat upwards and downwards on every guitar so there's always a way. I guess it really depends on how much one always plays the same things the same ways, and of course they will all have to sound different. Then there's the scale and pickup position difference making a difference.
My future ideal electric guitar is kind of a brainstorm in the making while I count my blessings with contentedness for what I have now. Interested in the infinite within the limits and the limits within the infinite.
