thread_title:  POV of Comparison 

message: In general, a neck with 24 frets instead of 21 frets does not actually make artificial harmonics harder.  What can make it more difficult is having neck through construction as opposed to bolt on construction.  I own real strats, superstrats that are bolt on and a super strat that is neck through.  Every neck through I have played has difficulty with artificial harmonics.  This is because in a neck through the primary tone is more powerful (this is why they have better sustain as others have noted here).  
When plucking and individual string on a stringed instrument you are in a sense producing an entire "chord" of harmonics.  The single note that "hear" is the primary tone.  Harmonic are produced by removing more dominant tones from that "chord" by muting them at certain locations on the string.
A more detailed explanation of the physics of this belongs in another article;  I will simply update this article to correctly reflect this fact.
: Well, 21 vs 24 fret fact is also really simple to explain. Guitars with 21-22 fret necks have pickups' polepieces specifically aligned so that they match positions of artificial harmonics. Guitarists with 24 fret necks don't have this luxury, so they have to more or less guess proper locations => it's some sort of inconvenience => somewhat harder to get AHs.
: Basically, both these facts require to be verifiable in terms of Wikipedia, so we need to add them both with links to good sources that state so (not only from our own personal experience). --GreyCat 23:38, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Could the Fender Lead I (made 1979-1982) be considered an early superstrat? If not, maybe at least it might be worth mentioning in the article as a predecessor to superstrats. --Mispeled 01:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

message: According to the descriptions and examples, it seems that fat Strat, such as Yamaha Pacfica, is included. So may I ask for clarification?George Leung 10:11, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

message: This opening paragraph is a poor summary of the Superstrat and far too vague. The Superstrat is an easily understood archetype that caters to a specific genre. Those characteristics should be front and center in the first paragraph.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.170.201 (talk) 08:18, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

message: The article's lead currently says: "Superstrats are generally suited for heavy metal music played with high-gain distortion."
While this may be true, so's almost any other guitar. Most notably the PRS Custom 24 or the Fender Telecaster. I'm taking the sentence out as it adds no value to the article as it stands. (Also: no source given) 
One could argue, that superstrats generally came to be associated with heavy metal music played with high-gain distortion, as this genre of music really gained focus at the time where the superstrat type guitar was the pinnacle of the technical development of electric guitars. That would be some helpful info. But that's my original opinion, so you can't write that into the article unless you can prove it. (Maybe the article NWOBHM has some more info in that direction.)
Anyways. in my mind the superstrat is much more closely associated with shredding, as more and more virtuose guitar solos were just as well becoming part of pop and rock music in the 1980s.
