I found this guide quite helpful for scalloping:

Status update I`m now done with scalloping the frets from 12-22. Took me roughly about 2 1/2 overs (matched nicely with the Chaos in Motion dvd ) The fret`s did not become 100 % straight compared to eachother, but seems fine enough for me (even though one of them almost/did make it through the entire front board as enforcer warned me about. I also managed to rip a lot of the masking tape and one some occasions touch the frets with my file as I was grinding, that actually made me quite furious since none of the people who has posted guides on the internet managed this I barely started with some 40 sandpaper and will take another round with it tomorrow And a warning to folks with no/low patience who are planning this operation, DON`T! Good luck with finishing the scalloping!!! Sure, i did a lot of pictures during the different steps. I still have in mind to write a tutorial of both, scalloping and fret change. I used really simple and cheap tools, can be interesting if someone wants to do something similar. Tutorial will be great and useful to many here I'm sure .... -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net
