jeggib Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 Just wanted to know if there is anything about an epiphone's neck that makes it unscallopable (is that even a word?) or extremely difficult to scallop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirkentesquire Posted May 7, 2005 Report Share Posted May 7, 2005 If you can't take the neck off it's always more of a hassle. Honestly, that's about it. Have you ever done a scallop before? If you have then it won't be that different except worrying about protecting the body while you're doing it. If not, it'll be a fun time I love scalloped fretboards, personally, and feel like they play as smooth as butter. It does take a lot of time and energy, though, a lot longer than most people think. Were you thinking about doing a full scallop (regular style) or a 'spoon' scallop, as I call it, where the scallop is deepest on the headstock side of the fret and shallow at the other end, making a sort of spoon shape. That's what I have on my strat. It's less work, takes away less wood and I think it plays just as great if you play pretty consistently. Go for it. Just go slow and make sure nothing bad happens to that body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And follow the tutorial here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
