Ah, I guess that figures. I would have thought the elimination of direct woodtouch would have had more of an impact, but I guess I was being presumptious. I've never played a scalloped neck before, it still seems a bit weird for me, not actually touching the wood.
Anyways: Thanks Zerberus! that's exactly what I wanted to know, again, you have a knack for answering questions! [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Thanks [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]
But considering that I used to be a pro luthier and still repair and mod out of my apartment, is sure as hell better know stuff like that [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
But scalloped necks are fun, I scalloped the last 5 frets of my first axe (also a Rhoads, but a cheap plywood knockoff), didn´t notice much back then. But a Buddy of mine has a Strat he had me reprofile the neck on and scallop, and it´s a fun axe to play. You can use lighter strings because the touch automatically lightens, IMO you don´t have an notable advantage over 10-46 anyway. But with 9s you can do violin style trills and vibarrtos, and the light touch makes it easy to just fly all over the place.
And this is coming fom a guy that plays 12s in standard and usually cringes at anything under 10s [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
