I luv the sound of Fender guitars but always have the same problem. I go to a music store and everything is 22 frets... (I play 5 songs that use 24 frets so it's a must-have)... and the volume knob is always right below the pickups... so I'm constantly banging my knuckles on it. So I've always ended up buying Gibsons and basically cause of that, never learned to use a whammy bar properly cause Gibsons never have em.
If there was a Fender guitar with 24 frets (or more :) and a volume knob behind the bridge, I'd get it fer sure.
