Metal-j Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 What are the advantages and disadvantages? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 Pro's: Feels like you're playing on air, can make leads / solos / shred very easy. Bends and vibratos are easier when you have a feel for it. Con's: Chording is more difficult if a full fingerboard scallop is done. I don't have much experience with it, but that's about what I've figured so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VesQ Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I think scalloping decreases the value of guitar and makes it harder to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibanez_crazy Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 I wouldnt go scalloping a 65 strat, but I dont think it makes it harder to sell, it just depends on if the person buying it wants a scalloped neck. I ran into a problem with a deep scalloped neck(too deep by the way) The decreased mass of the fretboard made the neck bow and I couldnt get it straight enough for good action unless the guitar was tuned 2 steps down. I scalloped the rosewood almost all the way to the maple!!! Young and stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maiden69 Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 Do a search!!! There are tons of threads on the subject! It is a personal preference, just try a guitar that have a scallop neck to see what you think. As far as resale value, I never buy or build a guitar thinkinh about re-sale... I don't see guitars as used car. I either like them or not... like mentioned above, I wouldn't do any mod on a priced instrument, other than that... its fair game...
