People who play songs which need two octaves. If you want to play stuff by Vai, Satriani, Petrucci etc. you'll need 24 frets or you won't be able to play certain songs correctly. I just can't understand why they skip the two frets ... the neck pickup isn't even using the space, so it's essentially just wasted. Yea well when i play satriani usually just bend at the 22'nd fret and i dont think that it is very important to play the solos note by note either....Besides who the hell can play vai and petrucci solos correctly that is like a million notes in there Try to play Eugene's Trickbag: He bends the E string 24th fret and additionally uses the vibrato bar to raise it even further (to a high A). BTW: I agree that there are many people who can do fine with 21 or 22 frets ... but it's just ridiculous to offer a guitar with an insanely good vibrato system ideally suited for Vai and Satriani stuff ... and then leave out the last 2 frets. All the RG guitars have 24 frets, all ESPs (except some Gibson-clones) have 24 frets.

Ah well then you would have to downtune then

But ofcourse if you play metal stuff im sure it is nice to have 24 frets although i would prefer if 24 fret necks where a bit longer...besides have you tried the progarchives chat? im on there now and bored

yep i would love to have a real chat with you because it sometimes a bit awkward discussing cases on a forum

maybe, but it's cool for me to read!

Ps - one of the reasons I want a new guitar (to complement my strat, not to replace it) is for the extra frets.

Schecter is the most underrated guitar company ever!

 

Thats's my guitar. It's unbelivable! A very full sturdy sound with a strong force because of the humbukers. But it has a 5 way pickup switch to give it an amazing versitility.  it stays in great tune no matter how much bending i do, It was intelligently made everywhere form the wood choises, to the placemnet of  the neck strap. an over all great sounding guitar. I'd recomend it to anyone with 800$ to spend

^ eww

That guitar is so terrible. It has one sound. a really fat heavy sound. And its great for classic rock/ early metal....but thats it!!

It's one sound isnt even that great

Progmatic  has shown my exact guitar. I love the thing but I also love strats. Right now I have a Mexican strat which sounds great but I'm looking for a new one since mine is pretty beat. I also need a large headstock, they just look so cool.

well, you can check my guitars in the Show Us Your Axe´s post, in tech talk.

But my favorite is the Ibanez SA at the time (it changes quite regularly i think), wich i mainly use (and no, i dont play "technicla Heavy Metal", i play Yes, Genesis and Rush a load in my bands ;) )

I have a '68 Gibson SG, beautiful peice of equipment.

In the 12 string category, I would have to go with Rickenbacker, they still make decent ones

6 string, I vastly prefer vintage equipment, you can't get the same quality now adays. Old Les Paul, Gibson (the ES is especially nice for jazzier stuff), and so on. The quality has definately diminished in acoustic guitars too, even Martin.

Right on!

You're more of an artist, right? I've seen some of your work on this forum, and it's pretty good.

Thanks!

I play bass guitar (and little keyboards...)
