I thought for sure Warmoth would make this an option by now for the flagship "Pro" neck... I prefer the vintage look & easy access under the pickguard with a 21-fret neck... Seems like a relatively easy option to implement. Several times I've pulled the 22nd fret, filled the slot, & trimmed off the overhang. Would gladly pay extra for the option.
21 Fret Option for "Pro" Series Fender necks!

I'm big for the vintage look too. I have a guitar with 22 frets and to be honest I don't think I've ever used the 22nd fret. I wanted to get a pro for the guitar I'm working on right now but I also wanted to keep it looking like a real thinline so I went with the total vintage. If you really need a 22nd fret, just bend the 21st.

but then, if you have a 22nd fret, you can bend it and it'll be just like you have 23 frets! :laughing11: or, if you have 23 frets, it will be just like a full 2 octaves, by bending on the 23rd fret. :laughing3: but, then ,why would any guitar companies make 24 fret guitars? :icon_scratch: why would you need the 25th fret note? lol

You can get the 24th note in a 22th fret neck... If you play hard, you probably can even in a 21th, too...Music Man 91 said:

i know, i was just kidding. i wanted to show the interresting logic that went inot why you don't need 22 frets. personally, i could get by with 20. i use the harmonics more than i think i do.

Some times when I get really crazy, I just kind of run out of frets and laugh. I would kind of hate myself though if I went the Uli Jon Roth route, with his freaky "Sky Guitar" with it's sixty frets or whatever...I like the limitations of my instruments, they make me think...
