Pro:

You can play notes without your fingers touching the wood of the fretboard. This can let you play pretty fast.

You get a better grip on the strings . These allow you to build up with practice a pretty fast and accurate style.

Vibrato is increased as you can choose to push down harder into the fret and achieve a kind of string bend sound.

Also when you hand the guitar to a mate and tell him to play it mostly they are stuffed and are unable..making you look much better than you really are :rolleyes:

Cons:

Takes a little gettin used to

Watch how you play chords, I have no problem now but at first it was strange.

It is expensive to buy a ready scalloped neck, and risky to scallop your own.

I advise you to have at least two guitars, and only scallop one to start with. Or buy a ready made scallop neck at warmoth, or if you have the cash buy a yjm :cool: .

Play one first for a day or so before starting out on this route, some players apparently never get used to it. :confused:
