Thankyou guys, ive managed to track someone down in my area that does inlay work but i havnt actually spoken to him yet. i live out in the country in australia so this kinda thing is hard to come by but i appreciate your help. the guitar i hope to mod is my old gibson Flying V, it sounds good, but plays like crap, it has a trem but it never holds tune, unless ive locked it completly. ive played a few jems with scalloped boards but it was a long time ago so i dont really remember what it was like, do u think scalloping the fretboard is a cheaper approach to improving playability? (small frets) i plan on doing the work myself as i cannot really afford to get it professionally done.
what are some realitivly easy mods that i can perform with low cost to improve speed,vibrato, feel etc ?
