I had my "I want a scalloped neck" phase.. and yep Pony you're right Ritchie uses scalloped. Since its expensive to get parts down here I'm still in a dilemma to take a risk at scalloping my own first cheapo guitar, but then the memories and sweat I've put into the that junk.... apparently scalloped necks also allow u to easy get the high notes which makes those screeching solos easier, so I heard :rolleyes:
