Hello to all. First post here. I've been lurking (that sounds a bit creepy) for awhile and just using the search for all of my questions, most of which have already been answered.
I am considering getting my first scalloped neck. I have searched for topics on bending with a scalloped neck, but all seemed to suggest bending up or down. I am interested in bending into the scallop (where the wood has been removed) as a part of my future technique. I want to be able to bend notes inside of chords as well as combine bending the top note with chordal melodies. I'm a blues nut when it comes to bending, and as of late I'm exploring chordal melodies (now, you can see where there is a bit of conflict of interest here).
Can anyone out there tell me how many semitones I can expect to get by bending into the scallop? I don't mind making the scallops a bit deeper than usual as I plan on a thicker one piece maple neck.

I should have been a bit more clear. I meant that I wanted just one string inside/on top of a chord to bend and the others to stay put. I'm aware that a Hipshot device would simulate this but I'd prefer to get it from my fingers.
