Cactus Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Never played one but I would imaging the scalloped neck would take some getting used to, and you should only get one if you seriously want it for your style of playing - not just because you want to be like Yngwie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I've played with a scalloped neck before, I didn't like it at all. All players are different though, they're good if you have a light touch with your fretting hand as its very easy to play the notes sharp with a scalloped board. It makes sweep picking easier, but if you can already sweep pick on a normal guitar, you don't really need a scalloped board, yet if you can't sweep pick, having the scalloped board won't make it any easier to pick up.

I have a Jem 7VWH, yeah, The Steve Vai guitar. It has scalloped frets from 17(or so) up and that really helps for bending and playing those high positions.
