Scalloped fretboard guitar. every fret scalloped by hand. Amazing one of a kind, unique shredding guitar. sounds great, looks cool. A Hohner ST Metal customised all for just £65, including the cost of the guitar (bought 2nd hand) I did this as a hobby for fun and made this video shortly after I had finished the modifications. Since then, this has become one of my favourite guitars. Once I had fully got used to the scalloped fretboard I found this guitar to be more comfortable to play. And an easy guitar to play very accurately at speed. Plus it has a good crisp sound for heavy rock/metal.

Here is my description of the differences a guitarist will notice with a scalloped fretboard:

"The difference with a scalloped fretboard is that your fingers don't touch the wood of the fretboard quite as much. I mean the parts of your finger tip that aren't pressing on the string. A guitarist never tends to press the string all the way down to the wood of the fretboard (even on a regular guitar) so the amount of pressure you use to play a scalloped fretboard should be no different to the amount applied to a held note on a regular guitar) It will of course feel different to play if you were used to using the feel of the fretboard either side of the string as a guide.

Most guitarist won't have to adjust their technique in order to play a scalloped fretboard in tune.
A scalloped fretboard does in fact have benefits for a rock guitarist in terms of the ease of playing certain techniques. For example: you can increase the power, and clarity of individual notes that are played using legato and tapping more than you possibly could on a non-scalloped fretboard. This is because you have more space to hook the fingertips of your fretting hand to the edge of the strings when doing decending legato. Just like fingerpicking a note with the right hand, the thurther you can get your fingertip around the string, the louder and more percussive the resulting note will be when you lift you finger away.
The result of a more percussive legato is that switching between legato and the already percussive alternate picking is less of a drastic difference so, guitar solos that use both of these techniques will audibly flow more smoothly from picking to legato and vice versa. I believe this to be of great benefit to a rock/metal guitarist. If you happen to prefer a great contrast between picking and legato, this can still be achieved on a scalloped fretboard as well.

As for vibrato and string bends, It is a bit easier with a scalloped fretboard, but the techniques are performed in pretty much the same way, except that you can grip the string a bit more on a scalloped fretboard improving the control and perhaps therefore the amount of expression you can add to the note.

So, in conclusion the scalloped fretboard guitar has, in terms of sound and playablity, advantages over a non-scalloped fretboard."
