ive heard some people have problem with playing straight cords if the whole fret board is scalloped. so just in case it was a problem i just scalloped my last 12 frets... and it works great. i love it

I heard it helps with bends and vibratos but makes everything else harder, speed wise. So if you are going for tone, why not.

What do you do if you scallop frets? Because I've heard about them but never quite understood...

I see a problem in future - that on everything, anyone asks, there will be a straight answer - "We discussed it X days/weeks/years ago, check this link":-D
I am not picking on you Marcus in anyway;) I just imagined a future in say 2 years :-D Btw. can scalloping by done DYI? or do you have to send it to some guitar master/maker(class)? (EDIT: I just red the link, no need to answer:-D) Oh... now I got an idea... Guitar maker class.. What about Guitar making collaboration?:-D To send a piece of wood from one participant to another, paint it, customize it, vanhalenzie it, dahl it, denisjuk it etc etc. and then put it on Ebay, and from the money we will get, we can buy ourselves a JEM's :-D This post has been edited by Jakub Luptovec: Jan 3 2008, 03:40 PM -------------------- my youtube account with riffs and ideas: https://www.youtube.com/user/Phoenygzus

the fact that things have already been discussed just means that this site has more to offer since the answers are already here... and if their not then just ask
i scalloped my frets with a 1/4" wood file, a 1/4" steel file, a variety of sandpaper and some lemon oil. cost me a total of around £20. it does take alot of time to do though and mine is far from perfect (the binding looks horrible) but its all cosmetic problems. plays perfectly -------------------- Guitars: Epiphone Les Paul Standard w/ Dual EMG 81 Pickups.
