Because they simply don't need them...

Vintage Strats only have 21 frets. The more modern strats have a one fret hangover that adds a fret. Most blues musicians will use bending if they want to go higher than that... The extra two frets are simply never used. I've never needed more than 21 frets.

Here's my American girl... modded with Custom Shop '69 pickups, pearloid pickguard, and a few switch mods...




My next Strat is going to be a Lake Placid blue '62 reissue with a rosewood neck...
