Been a while...scalloped guitar neck
Wow.. I can't believe this, the last time i set foot on this little cozy corner of mine was May last year, that is more than half a year ago. Hahaha...
alrite...let's see what has happened and what I would love to share during the past six months or so...
ok...there were these silly hypes, articles concerning bloggers and what they do or did on their blog. Ah nah...those like I said are silly little issues. Bottomline is that the internet is a public domain and whatever that is posted is meant for public viewing, unless secured in some ways. These people post their feelings, pictures and etc. basically to share, get attention or merely just to entertain whoever that comes along. If these people are concern about privacy, then they wouldn't be blogging in the first place. So what's the big deal? Opps...spoke too much already...
Ok...getting down to what usually do here, unload my crap in the hope that you won't wreak with my crap.
I am generally a guitar player, electric, nylon string or steel string folk etc. Of course my favorite will always be a Stratocaster with a scalloped fretboard. The ongoing discussion on the pros and cons of scalloped fretboard versus a normal fretboard has always been around since God knows when. So here're my little one penny worth of opinions in short.
1. Control of vibrato is definitely a plus point as there's no contact between the fretted string and the fretboard. Result of this is greater sustain and wider vibrator.
2. Scalloped frets are indeed harder to play when it comes to speed, because the strings actually cuts into the flesh, and one needs practice in order to get use to the fretboard and gain better control.
3. Chances of notes going off is high if one is not careful and exert too much pressure on the string, causing the string to bend into the scalloped area, hence a change in pitch. However, this flaw can be a plus if one knows how to use it to the fullest. Get the hint?
Ok ... pretty short blog after a long break...
