How many frets on guitar?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The standard classical guitar has 19 frets.

However, other types of guitars such as the steel-stringed acoustic and most electric guitars have anywhere from twenty to twenty four frets, depending on the manufacturer or builder. Generally, acoustic guitars will be closer to twenty, whilst electric guitars will have twenty three or twenty four.

Some popular guitar examples: Gibson Les Paul Standard (electric): 22 complete* frets

Fender American Stratocaster (electric): 22 complete frets Martin D-28 Acoustic: 20 complete frets Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic: 20 complete frets

*Guitars often have an additional fret area on the its board just above the sound hole or pick-up area. Whilst this area could be considered a place for a finger, it is not complete with fret wire and usually does not produce a favorable sound.
