This allows better grip on the string and gives you more control over your vibrato. Some like and some doesn't like it. I haven't tried one yet so I don't know how it feels Marcus Lavendell has a scalloped fretboard, check his lessons to see how it looks You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Although I've not played on a scalloped fretboard I have heard that they possess both advantages and disadvantages over normal fretboards - depends on style. They're great for those that require the feather touch response for greased lightning speeds, but not so brill for large bends and sustain - dunno I may be wrong. I figures that bending the string out of tune is likely if you press too firmly so I'd imagine you'd have to possess quite a lot of control with your fretting hand You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It's just about getting a better grip of the string, which some think is good for the vibrato and bends, since there's no (or very little) resistance Another option is to put XJ frets on the neck, and it will have pretty much the same effect... but it won't look as cool of course You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
