                                    Extra Frets

                                    I have always offered an extended fingerboard, usually up to 20 or 21 frets, for both my classical and steel string guitars. However, in 1996 a request for a 24-fret extension inspired me to design one that was removable beyond the 19th fret, as I had determined that an extension that long, no matter how discreet, diminished the guitar's volume.
