How many frets can a guitar have?

Question

My Fender only has 22. I was just looking at the tab for Seek and Destroy by Metallica and there is a note played on the 28th in the solo. At first I thought it might have been a mistake but the tab was rated by like over 200 people so I'm sure it's right. I just didn't realize guitars have that many frets. Is there a limit on how many frets can be on a guitar? or what is the most you've seen?

Answer 1

acoustics have 20

some electics have 21 or 22

Guitars used for Metal like ibanezs have 24

ive never heard of a guitar with 28

Answer 2

MOST GUITAR NECKS  HAVE TWO OCTAVES     FROM HITTING THE STRING OPEN  TO THE  12TH  FRET IS ONE OCTAVE AND SO ON

Answer 3

Most guitars have either 22 or 24 frets.  I'm sure that it is possible that someone could have a guitar custom made with more frets, but they will be expensive and quite uncommon.  I'm guessing the tab has an error.

Answer 4

Mine has 68! j/k

Guitars are typically 21, 22 or 24 configurations.
