24 fret-

[Incidents Happen]

other than PRS, what other companies make a 24 fret guitar? im thinking about getting one, with a nice, easily accessable neck, so i can get 2 full octaves in.

Ibanez RG series has 24 frets.

ESP's have them to or at least mine does

I´d say almost every company offers a 24fret guitar in their collection... or at least you can get a 24fret neck there..

but what i´m goin to look for is a 32 fret guitar.. any ideas where to get one? i know a dude who could build one for me.. but i´m sure it will cost heaps.. :(

[FretSlug]

32 frets? What do you even do with the last 8?

That could be kewl though.. The frets above 25 are quite small then, try to hit maybe? Dunno..

And for the real post, almost in every collection there is a 24 fret thingie..

I myself prefer Ibanez for they make very good guitars and it's very to easy to play with one..

My vote goes for ESP; I've had some bad experiences with near new Ibanez guitars, though some of them look really f-ing cool.

Avoid PRS, they aren't worth the $5000 investment.

You could try http://www.warmoth.com, I'm getting a custom lefty jazzmaster-style guitar (it's gonna be a total metal machine, complete w/DiMarzio Distortion hummer) from them, and they make a really good product. They make replacement necks in the $150-200 range out of your choice of woods, finishes, etc. and they have a whole section on how to determine whether it'll fit your instrument or not. They definitely make 24-fret necks they might make one of those 32-fret necks, I don't know... that sounds a little maniacal to me...

from fret 25 onwards it should have whole tone steps to increase the space between the frets (look at Ulli John Roth´s Sky Guitar!)
