Just some made-up logic behind my retarded thought process. Me --->

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.

Ahem.

BTW, I had a Washburn EC-36M a few years ago. It was strange, but I was able to get usable notes up to about the 30th fret after some practice.

What was the new-ish Kramer? It's really ugly. I can't remember its name but it has 36 frets.

I'm alot of help!

A little bit of trivia.....the 7 string Hamer on that page is one of two that were built. The only two Hamer 7`s in exsistance. The second one had a trans "Salmon" finish. Both had custom made Tom Andersen pups.

back on topic...

D'oh! Of course! Saw this going for Guitar Of The Month, I hope it gets nominated

.

Lol, coming to cinemas soon, 'Beyond The 30th Fret: Where No Left Hand Dares To Go.'

29 Frets = 2 1/3 octave

26 frets = 2 1/6 octaves

38 frets = 2 octaves, but not a seven string
