I can get the scallop done in two hours. actually i'm finished! I just have to rest my hands because of "Arthur"

That doesnt count the final sanding, fret polishing, and oiling or waxing. I scallop, rest and an hour, finish.

"I don't know the answer to your question, but if you have been doing repairs for 10 years you should probably know already. Have you ever done a full scallop before? How long did it take?"

Yes i have done many scallops, 50+. If its a full scallop, i can get it done in about 5 hours, depending on the wood.

"If you are unsure check out what other guitar shops in the area quote for the same job and go cheaper since you dont have the overheads."

Im the only one who will do it!

I plan on opening up my shop by next year, Im done with the tele, and about to start the jackson.

thanks.

So about 350 total?

About how much should i charge for a full scallop? I have an in-home guitar repairshop, and i have been working on guitars since i was 13. For the past 10 years i have been charging little to nothing.

On the current guitar, a tele, I have to:

Repot

Full scallop

Convert to hardtail

Romeve the shellac

Re-shellac

ReNut

Install an EMG humbucker

Intall a batterypack

Re-contour the neck

Polish the frets

Stain the neck

Fret Markers

Install P-Waves Tuners

Fix 1 inch of binding

And on a Jackson guitar i have to do a full scallop.

I was think ing 200 bucks for the top. and like 50 bucks for the jackson

thanks
