I'm looking at the Performer neck that I'm half way through scalloping (i've done frets 22 down to 10).
I did my first job on a beater guitar (peavey predator) and did well and like the performance results. It's set up with very high action so the scalloping makes the rhythm playing tricky, as my fingers sometimes fall over the string, w/o any board there to stop them! If I had a truss rod wrench, I'd fix this issue... anyway...
If all goes well with the Performer (after the job, I'm going to put it on the KV3) and I continue to like scalloping on low action necks, I might do my stock KV3 neck.
My question is this: If I scallop more on the 1st string side and minimal on the 6th string side, will the neck warp with this assymectrical lack of "reinforcement"? These necks are already thin, and I like DAddario's light top/heavy bottom strings (10 to 52 or 56...?)
I was interested in this variable scallop b/c of easier rhythm playing, and saving the sharkfins on my KV3 stock neck.
Thanks!
