Just some made-up logic behind my retarded thought process. Me ---> 
Nice, I like it. Purple = tr00 
Sorry I'm a noob. What do those mean?
But to sort of answer the question, I'd say maybe 27-32 frets possibly. |
Whoops those are octave numbers, so 27-32 frets on a E4 string(normal open high e)
For instance an open high E is E4 at the 12th fret E5, at 24th E6 and at 36th E7. I have an 8 string with both B1 and A4 (low B and High A) with 27 frets with the highest note being C7 1 octave below C8, the last key on you standard 88 key piano. With a guitar with only a high E4 you would have to have 32 frets to have the same range.
