An extended range Electric Guitar allows for playing a broader range of notes on the instrument through either additional strings or more frets.
7 string Guitars are very common, 8 and 9 string guitars are growing in popularity, and there are also a few manufactures who will make a guitar with 10 or more strings. When talking about extended range guitars one point to discuss is a multiscale design. This is where the highest string is shortest and each string is progressively longer with the bass string being the longest. This design becomes more common as the number of strings increases. It is done for better tone in the bass strings, better string tension across the range, better note definition across the range, more accurate intonation, and it reduces Inharmonicity.
Also, some guitars have more frets than the common 24, 22, or 21 frets. 29 frets still allows 2 humbuckers and 36 frets will allow 1 humbucker in a 25.5 inch scale length.

The exact range varies from guitar to guitar, it depends on the total number of frets available and the number of strings(yes, even some classical guitars have extended range).
