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.

What is so fascinating about an electric guitar?
In a standard acoustic guitar, the vibrations of the strings are transferred to the body which vibrates the air around it producing sound. This is the final output. The sound cannot be modified or amplified without considerable noise. In a standard electric guitar, the vibrations of the strings are converted to electric signals using magnetic pickups. Since the output of an electric guitar is an electric signal, it can be amplified and/or altered. Effects like overdrive, reverb and chorus can be applied to the output signal. An electric guitar can be made to sound like an acoustic guitar using the necessary effect. Techniques like hammer-ons and pull-offs may be extensively used while playing on an electric guitar. Extended playing techniques like finger tapping etc is possible only with an electric guitar. Tremolo arms can be used with electric guitars. Definitely, an electric guitar is much more versatile than an acoustic guitar because of the fact that the output of an electric guitar is purely an electric signal. An electric guitar is cheaper than an acoustic guitar of the same quality because electrics are easier to build than acoustics.
