Scalloped fretboard~

[Burn]

I'm looking for the cheapest possible way to get my hands on a scalloped fretboard... anyone know of a cheap brand er something? I'm trying to get around doing it myself....

I'd get a neck from Warmoth. The cheapest is $132 for a maple/maple neck, then add $75 for half-scallop (frets 12-22) or $90 for a full-scallop (frets 1-22)

Warmoth is the cheapest (and really good quality). Paddock was selling a model 3 with a warmoth scalloped neck on it for $350.00. Check the classifieds.

The cheapest way would be to get a used neck, necessary tools and scallop yourself. It really is no big deal, IMO. Just practice with some crappy necks first and then you're ready for derious surgery. Blackmore did it by himself, and so did Malmsteen before he got fat.

Update: Base price for a Warmoth maple/maple neck is now $157.

So, he's got to buy a cheap neck. Then, if he doesn't have the proper tools, he has to buy those. Then he's got to pratice on some cheap necks (surely they cost something). Not to mention the value of his time. Need the number for Warmoth? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Ditto, Warmoth is the way to go. I've got several Warmoth's and a Fender YJM. I love the Warmoth's. They are all full scallops. Very good quality. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: Scalloped fretboard~

I'll recommend Warmoth as well BUT if you're going for the YJM replica like I've done, just be aware that warmoth don't install the brass nut if you specify it...(and they don't tell you about it either) so now I have to ship the neck halfway around the country to a luthier who knows his shit well enough to do the job [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
That being said, their product seems to be great quality.
