Hey there smrt173,
I don't use SG or Les Paul.
I use a parker nitefly which I love because of it's graphite fretboard and special steel frets - which makes it incredible easy to bend and do vibrato.
I also have a strat which I love because of the sound - I am thinking about scalloping it to make bending etc easier!

Are you going to scallop the whole board or just the upper frets Kris?
And I have to agree that the nitefly bends amazingly
I'd love to get my hands on those mahogany hxh ones for a different kind of tone too.

Sounds good to me, but then again I've never played a scalloped board.

I also am wondering about the Ibanez.
He sold it, because he couldn't stand tuning the Floyd

lmao is that true Kris?
How much does your nitefly cost kris? which model is it? i know there are some that are like $2000 and some that are cheaper.
I'm fairly sure me kris and david have very similar variations on the nitefly which would have cost around $1400 new, but also that we all bought them used i think I got mine for $700ish. I'm not sure about Jeff's but it looks like a nitefly-m, which is another variation on the nitefly that goes for the same price. I want one though, not just because I love niteflys but because it's a dual humbucker mahogany nitefly

I'll answer for him - i asked Kris the same question some time ago, and that was the answer, i even have it in the e-mail somewhere.

Thanks Napsternova!

Well that's almost true. I couldn't stand restringing it because of the floyd rose tuning process etc.
I sweat a lot form my hands I need to constantly change strings - with floyd rose it's a nightmare.
With the parker and the deluxe strat guitar it's a dream - since you have those locking things on the tuning knobs. (ok someone help me here - I have no idea what this is called

Those locking things would be called locking tuners...
