What does scalloped mean?

 

[nooleen]

probably something to do with some awful swedish fish recipe

What does scalloped mean?

Look closely at the necks of some of his guitars. In between frets is scooped out.

Ah right.

How odd. I wonder how many people have ruined their guitars trying to be like him.

well, it helps you play really past as you don't need to apply much pressure to the string to fret it. it feels completly mangey though. and i'd image its quite hard on your fingertips.

So are you not actually touching the fretboard when you fret a note, just pulling the string down onto the fret and letting your finger rest on nothing?

I'd say he has adamantium callouses.

exactly. and i guess when you're used to it you know how much pressure you need to apply (not very much) to create the note.

 

[GARYXKNIFEDX]

You're not really supposed to use much pressure to fret a string anyway. I've always thought I only touch the fretboard by default.
I reckon it'd be odd to play scalloped frets though. A bit like a sitar or something.
