If I were to get the frets scalloped, would the sharkfin inlay come off or be distorted?

If you want to see what your inlays might look like after a scallop job on your guitar, follow these links:

This is a Soloist for sale at JC Guitars (I'm not plugging for him and I have no connection to him) that is said to have been scalloped overseas in Spain. It's interesting to note that some of the scallops actually went completely through the inlays.Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory.Comment

Whoever that was, I think they screwed that Soloist. It looks terrible.Comment

Re: Scalloping frets help
It not only looks terrible, but I'd suspect it plays badly, too. The good scallop jobs I've seen are scalloped starting right behind the fret, where your fingers are supposed to go. That scallop job on the Soloist seems to only remove wood right smack in the middle of the frets. It's also quite odd that the scallops are largest at the 12th fret and get progressively SMALLER as you move up the fretboard.
I'm surprised that the vendor/seller says that it's the best scallop job he's ever seen. [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Perhaps that statement is there just to help move a mutilated Jackson.Takeoffs are optional but landings are mandatory.Comment
