Yes there are, it is quite common for a guitar to have 24 frets. The most common amount of frets on a guitar is 21, 22 & 24. Of course many private builders get creative and it is possible to have frets running all the way to the bridge (i haven't seen one but it is possible if your creative) as long as its measured out correctly.

Are frets closer the more frets you get on bass guitars?

yes probably because i have a 20 fret and 24 fret bass and the frets on my 24 fret are much closer.also, on my 24 fret is says on the package:medium frets. and on the 20 fret has bigger frets so i presume that the 20 fret has "large frets"


Which end of a guitar does the first fret start?

the first fret of the guitar (and other fretted instruments) is the fret closest to the nut, which is where the strings cross over from the head of the instrument to the fretboard. The nut can be thought of as the zeroth (0th) fret, and the first fret is the fret that follows immediately after that. Most guitars have somewhere between 20 - 24 frets, so the last (i.e. 20th or 24th) fret is the one closest to the sound hole (if it is an acoustic instrument) or pickup (if it is electric).


How many dots in the acoustic guitar?

If by "dots" you mean the inlays on the fretboard, it is totally dependent on the guitar. There are traditional locations for the markers, but there's no fixed number on all acoustic guitars. Most guitars have a dot to mark the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 15th, 17th, and 19th frets. Most guitars have two dots to mark the 12th fret. On guitars with more frets, the 21st fret is marked with a single dot and the 24th fret is marked with two. Some guitars also have a single dot or an inlay on the 1st fret. Also, some higher-end guitars have other types of inlays to mark frets and make the guitar look better.


What is the electric guitars earliest use?

I found 24 fret guitars kind of challanging at first but if you have big hands it isn't a problem. BC Rich and schecters always my first two picks they start off cheap and I never had any problems with low end ones I bought over the years.


How many frets on guitar?

That depends on the type of guitar you have. I work with Guitars everyday so I see guitars with 12 frets, 14 frets, 17 frets, 21 frets, 23 frets and occasionally I find 24 fret guitars (with the double octave of the open string) the most frets I have seen was a 29 fret electric guitar. The guitar was custom built though. Most commonly, you will find acoustics with probably 14 to 17 frets and electric guitars with 17 to 21 frets.

What are the positions on a fretboard for acoustic guitar?

If you are talking about the inlays (be it dots, blocks or whatever) then they are: 1 (optional, only some have inlays on 1st fret), 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 24 (not all guitars have 24 frets)


What is better electric guitar Yamaha or squier?

That would depend on your appeal to comfort, aesthetics and sound... and maybe price. There are good Yamaha guitars, such as the Pacifica, which is a nice Fender Strat style. The Squier is the 22 fret strat Fender (I have a 22 fret Ibanez GIO) which is just as good as any guitar in my opinion, but a standard 24 fret is better for the high-pitching lead shredder (though only by one note).


What does the highest note on a guitar sound like?

The highest note on a guitar is on the last fret of the high E string. Different guitars have different number of frets, hence the highest note varies depending on the instrument. On vintage fender guitars, such as stratocasters from the 1950's there were only 21 frets, hence the highest note was a Db Most guitars today have 22 frets, making the highest note a D, but there is an increasingly large number of 24 fret guitars from brands such as ibanez, schecter and esp that push the highest note to E, giving the guitar a full range of 4 octaves. In recent years, ibanez manufactured the 27 fret Xiphos, which make the highest note F# Of course there are many, techniques such as pinch harmonics, and effect pedals which allow the guitar to reach tonalities beyond that of the last fret, but as far as normal notes are concerned the ones shown are the highest, given the guitar is in standard tuning
