F Scalloped frets ????
Scalloping has nothing to do with fret buzz!
It’s great until you wanna do a slide
I already play scalloped frets… Its called jumbo frets
Classic
I scalloped half my guitars. U get used to them
For intonation reasons, I prefer non-scalloped frets and very short stainless steel fret wire, in a time where short frets are very unpopular. I'm telling you, if you play a high end EVH Wolfgang, your opinion on guitar preferences will change very fast. I'll say that with the caveat of this being the case for half step down and standard tuning 6 string players. No better guitar for a typical situation like that.
I also play a sitar, they have no fretboard. I put huge steel frets on my Rg760 and now my fingers no longer touch wood. 😀
Shredded cheese on scallops with chives!
What about vegans
Would it be harder to slide
hard to fret? pulls string off neck. whatever. goes sharp yup it's called pitch bending. Scallops allow easier bending in areas with wider fret placement. The finger tips drag across the fretboard. You don't need them in the higher frets theres very little string angle between the frets to allow the finger tip contact the board below unless extreme pressure is used. Strings do have more overtones and sustain as would any neck having a very tall fretwire. Extra jumbo fretwire are used for large gauge steel strings due to the wound wire having larger gaps thereby needing the higher fret crown to keep the string off the board. If no frets were used the string would dig into the board further and further and the pitch would go sharp for certain notes ruining a chord. Every chord would need to be relearned at the proper pressure for intonation of chords.
Rare? I think it is more of an obsolete mod since jumbo and extra jumbo frets became a thing… I remember in the early 2000s, scalloped guitars were pretty common around shredders. There's no reason to carve wood (a mod you cannot undo) when huge frets are available
I have 2 scalloped guitars and a decent quantity of non-scalloped fretboards, and I can’t say I inherently prefer one over the other. They excel at different things, so if I’m doing more lead work: scalloped. If I’m playing really heavy stuff with a lot of riffs and chugging: non-scalloped
How about croked frets?
Wow sustain sounds like a nice bonus! Except for the fact that I can’t tell how good the sustain is because of how many notes these virtuosos play in quick succession!
I prefer my scampi
Yngwie Malmsteen is worse than Ritchie Blackmore. Their guitars have great tones though.
I am a Viking is my favorite yngwie song
Thanks for starting with that one.
You are the best!!!
I use no frets….
Hear me out: inverted scalloped
The frets are not scalloped. The fretboard is scalloped;/,
Well, F vegans. Vegans are already insane, not to be trusted and getting worst. I like my surf n turf. Scallops and steak will be nice next time.
Damn dud, you just throw the worst joke i ever heard ????????????
Good video btw
i have a guitar that has both
if you pick up your regular guitar and push down on a fret, you'll notice that you can still push harder and it will make the note become sharp. this tells me that there is always a gap between the string and the fretboard on normal guitars anyways so… I don't believe this does anything ngl
im guessing slides must be very difficult
Fretless
its not a "rare" mod…its just scalloping,yngwie,ritchie blackmore and several others use scalloped boards
Tone, resonance, and sustain are not effected by this in any way.
If you want the benefits of this without ruining your fingerboard, just get extra jumbo frets.
Is this the fella from 'Kids in the Hall'? ????
Just buy a fan fretted/ multi-scale guitar
If you want the same business this guitar does without those ugly looking fretboards or /cut outs.
Normal please, I'm a vegan so I'll probably go insane with the scalloped ones
Classic
This might sound weird, but I think having the guitar go slightly out of tune because of the scalloped frets would sound really cool. It’s like how Kurt Cobain used to have voice cracks in the middle of his singing and I think it would sound really cool in a solo. But maybe not as much for just normal playing.
Are scalloped frets really something that is "rare" these days?
4.3 frets exist.
I loved it when they interviewed Richie Blackmore and he held up a strat with what looked like a fretboard which had been ground through to the neck between the frets. He explained words to the effect of "I've got this one [strat] and it's ruined now, RUINED. It used to be my main stage guitar, and I handed it to my guitar tech to have the frets polished. When I got it back the tech told me he'd done the frets, but he'd re-fretted it completely and flattened the fretboard for me as well! It took me HOURS to carve out the scallops on that fretboard!!!" L—O—L!
Imagine letting someone borrow a vintage Gibson Marauder and when you get it back a few years later it has a scalloped fretboard…… yeah, wish I didn't know how that felt ????????
I like my basic Strats, so I’ll stick with those
I’ve never tried a scalloped fretboard longer than 2 minutes. Just long enough to discover that I hate it.
From a purely physics standpoint, if you have to develop such a light touch as to not sound sharp, then you probably aren’t make much contact with a regular fretboard. It would seem that the only advantage the scallops offer is to teach you to have a lighter touch. Too much extra work for me.
But I’m old now and I’m lucky to be able to play anything at all.
muted notes still with the low action? FUCK IT LOWER THE FRETBOARD
