Jeez, even remotely going near the end of the fretboard when scalloping is really too much.
Unless obviously you want to end like the scallopwned guy on guitar.com
Check out Brians scalloping tutorials on the ProjectGuitar homepage
I don't really understand the link between first and second part of your post... Baritone guitars are tuned to A most of the times or am I mistaken? That's not an octave lower... Or is "baritone" a term which was used incorrectly (like "tremolo") when it came to electric guitar?
Yes you do, unless you're deliberately botching the job. Slots which extend through the binding look a mess, and utterly defeat the cosmetic and practical purpose of binding! Clip the tang, or leave it unbound - there is no inbetween

Thank you Alex... After cross-referencing it with other sources I agree it has to be a RG 470FM in Transparent Purple... Funny, I thought it was more recent. Thank you SO MUCH.
