Guitar World July 05

hey look on page 150 if you have this, its Angelos lesson corner. I was looking at one of his sweeps and it starts on the 37th fret and ends on the 42nd. Does he truely have this many frets, or is this a misprint or me reading it wrong?

if a guitar did have 42 frets, it would be for show, not for playing, so im assuming that its a typo

You sure it wasn't harmonics that sounds like frets 37 and 42?

They usually come in octaves: 24, 36, 48.

The guitarist from Lost Soul (Polish death metal band, sound like Morbid Angel) has some weird guitar from a maker I didn't recognise (not Ran) which seems to have as many frets as could be fit between the nut and the bridge pickup.

I think the only limitation is scale length!

to make the 100th fret wide enough for your little finger, the first fret would have to be about 3 ft wide. your stretch/reach isn't that long. and your dick isn't either

then your a freak.





96 frets (closest multiple of 12) over a 8 metre neck (normal is less than 1m, but your arms are four metres long) would have a 1.86mm distance between the 95th and 96th fret, oh yeah, and about 3cm gap to put a pick up in.

first fret would be 449mm from the nut (just under half a metre)
