Fender has been making longer necks for some models for a long while; not all Fenders have the longer necks.
I don't think you'll hear a difference in sound. You can bend that string to an even HIGHER note though!


Correct me if I'm wrong but AFAIK a 22 fret neck compared to a 21 fret neck isn't any longer, the scale length is the same, it just has a slight overhang over the base end of the neck with the last fret on.


you are correct highbinder

I was told that the American Strats are 22 frets and the imported Strats are 21 frets. It was suggested that it's Fender 's (and the owner's) way to determine the authenticity of the ax.


not true at all.

The Clapton may have been the first to my knowledge, I am not sure if the Strat Pluses had 22 but the time period would be the same. The discussion of scale vs. fret # is found below. Necks are longer, by length on the basso guitars.

Doc :?
