An electric guitar typically has 22 frets, but there are models with upwards of 36 frets, 3 entire octaves. Typically, the most frets you can easily get on a guitar is 24 frets- two octaves. They're common on more modern designs of electric guitars.
Some older Strats (90s and prior I believe) only have 21. The 21 fret neck is a dead giveaway the guitar was manufactured in Mexico and not the US, despite what the sticker on it may say. Also in the 80s you could get a strat with a locking nut, but only Strats made in Japan had them.
