Keeping this in view, are 21 frets enough?
there’s a natural harmonic node where the 24th fret is normally placed… I think that 21 is plenty for most players. My USA Strat has 22 but I have never come close to using the 22nd fret even once. A 24 fret neck will not fit on a strat body with a neck pick-up unless you are having a neck custom made.
In respect to this, are shorter scale length guitars easier to play? Scale length can have a significant effect on playability. All factors being equal (string gauge, string length beyond the nut and saddle, break angles, and so on), shorter scales produce lower string tension, are more elastic, easier to fret, and require less arm extension.
Moreover, can you replace a 22 fret neck with a 24 fret neck?
You can’t do a straight swap because if you do, the fret at the end of the neck pocket would be the 24th rather than the 22nd, so the 12th fret would be the distance between the 22nd and 24th fret further away from the bridge. So the scale length would be wrong.
Do 24 fret guitars have longer necks?
Most 24 fret guitars have a longer neck length than 22 fret guitars, even if the overall scale length is different. Also, the pickup positioning is different. The neck pickup on a 22 fret guitar is underneath the second major harmonic. On a 24 fret guitar, the pickup sits closer to the bridge.
