i'm kinda new to this forum and i was interested in buying a new fender.
i really like the sienna sunburst with maple but every picture i've seen shows it having 21 frets not 22 like the rest of the american strats. i am confused. does this guitar really have only 21 frets or is it some kind of error? if it is supposed to have 21 frets could someone explain why? Thanks in advanced.

Now that's a really good question. If you go by the photo, this strat in sienna sunburst has 21 frets. If you look at the photos of the others and the specs, you get 22 frets... go figure. I'd call Fender customer relations on that.

The definitive answer - so the photo is of some other strat with a sienna sunburst finish I guess.

It's 22 I don't know how they did that one. You have picked a perfect combo though. I've been gasing for a SS in maple for a while.
