Yngtchie Blacksteen Posted June 3, Why 22? Why not 24? Muddslide Posted June 3, There are some Fender and Squier Strat and Tele models that have 22 frets. DaleH Posted June 3, MIA strats and teles have 22, unless it is a reissue. Most MIMs have Author Members. Maybe its just me being used to Les Pauls but it pisses me off PrawnHeed Posted June 3, I think I once played a note on the 19th fret. It was a mistake. MIA strats have had 22 frets standard for years now.
You might have to ask Leo about that. The Stratocaster and Telecaster generally have similar electronics. They each have a master volume control, but where the Tele only has one tone control, the Strat has dedicated tone knobs for the middle and bridge pickups. The switching, however, is another story. The Telecaster typically has two single-coil pickups, with the bridge pickup being wider and longer than its Strat counterpart.
Fender also makes Stratocaster and Telecaster models with humbucking pickup options. The bridge is probably the most glaring distinction here.
Whether a Tele or a Strat is right for you is a matter of personal opinion. Both guitars have a rich history and countless devotees, but the feel and sound can differ greatly.
That's not to mention the variations on each that have come out over the years, such as the new American Performer Series or Player Series , with assorted specs like pickup configurations, neck profiles and tonewoods.
Throughout the ages, guitarists have gravitated towards either the Strat or the Tele. And oftentimes, players sit somewhere in between. The best thing to do is refuse to let the stereotypes themselves lead you down a certain path.
You can only be truly informed after playing them yourself. Skip to main content. Call me a purist or a vintage Tele snob, but to me, it just looks better with 21 frets and vintage type tuners and a little color in the maple Feb 13, 3.
Age: 46 Posts: 14, The only practical reason not to like 22 frets is the fretboard overhang, which means you gotta loosen the neck bolts to remove the pickguard. I wonder if there's any logical reason why Leo didn't make a fret neck with no overhang in the first place. Feb 13, 4.

Also I'm thinking most folks back then and many still today didn't play that high up the neck so it wasn't a big deal. Feb 14, 6. Age: 46 Posts: For me, the answer is none. No times. I'm good with fret necks. Feb 14, 7. Feb 14, 8. Posts: 6, Looks better too IMO, the original 21 fret design just looks better too, with the space between neck and neck pickup.
Feb 14, 9. I recently had to adjust the neck Pickup height in one, I had to remove the neck, so i could remove the pickguard, then i could adjust the pickup. Then put it all together again, just to try it and realize i had adjusted it Too much. Which means i had do the whole thing over and over again.
It turns a two minute job into a 30 minute plus job.
