Members cacheek Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 I've been looking at their website, but no 24 fret guitars from what I see. Can you custom order one with 24 or is that not an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sheik_Yerbouti Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm sure for enough money, they'll build you whatever you want. They're not really designed to be "shred" machines, though, and being the creation of George & Leo, they hold more true to the standard Fender aesthetic.

I dunno, from all I've heard, G&L is kinda set in their ways. For better or worse, but they probably ain't gonna make a 24 fret axe. Now, they'd probably be more than happy to do whatever routes or finishes you might want, but 24 frets is probably a no-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daveflave1275 Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 I'm almost positive they don't do 24 fretters. Even their "shred" guitars, the Invaders, are 22 frets. You could inquire about a custom, but may not get very far. I've got to say though, if youre considering getting a G&L DO IT! 24 fret guitars dont make better music than 22 fret guitars!

Members iff Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 Doesn't one of their new Tribute models have 24 frets? Definitely not a real G&L, but if you're just looking for something made by them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members esizer Posted August 27, 2012 Members Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah, the Fiorano has 24 frets. I'm gassing hard for one of those Ascari in trans black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BushmasterM4 Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 I own the Fiorano (24 fret) and let me say, this is alot of guitar for the money. I usually stick with USA made guitars (own quite a few), but I like this G&L so much that Im buying its sibling the Ascari. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dehumanize Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Why dont all guitars have 24 frets? 21/22 frets sounds better for the neck pickup on some guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members '63-Strat Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 Why dont all guitars have 24 frets? Because it compromises neck pickup placement. So unless you really think you'll use those extra two frets (realistically most don't) 22 fret guitars do sound better. I do bends up to E on the 22nd fret on my lp no prob, I don't think 24 frets are that useful but that's subjective. edit: I swear I didn't see Dehumanizes post before I posted that. Oh well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members telephant Posted September 1, 2012 Members Share Posted September 1, 2012 My Vigier (24 frets) weirds me out if I haven't played it for awhile. I'll move up high to solo in A and realize I'm in G like an asshole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
