GuitarMaestro Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Warmoth's products are top notch from eveyrthing I heard and expirienced so far. Concerning the scalloped neck: I would go in a store and check out a scalloped Yngwie Malmsteen signature strat. There are no real pros and cons for scalloping, as it is a matter of taste. Many people feel that scalloped necks give them a better grip of the strings and a better feel. It just a thing you have to try and either you like it or not. Don't buy a scalloped neck only because other people tell you they like the scalloping.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gitbox Posted March 8, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 Yeh I supose I should shop around and see if I can find one to try. From what I've heard I think I might like it. Then again maybe I'll be tripping over strings and sqeezing to hard and end up hating it. thanks for the advice and I'll let you all know what I end up with.

GuitarMaestro Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I although thought that I would like it, but as I really played a scalloped guitar I was not impressed....it was interesting but very different and it did not much enough for me to accustom to it....

Brian Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Welcome to the forum Gitbox Pros-They take awhile to get used to but you sure can pull off some excellent bends and vibrato's once your confortable........... Cons-Hard to find one with a simular shape to your original neck unless of course your a diehard Strat player, Also they take awhile to get use to and feel very uncomfortable if your used to going to the wood all of the time.
