What is Neck scalloping?
Neck scalloping is the
removal of fret board wood or material between each fret. The two
popular
types of procedures to scallop a fret board are "barrel-
straight through automated machined" and "hand scallops (which follow
the neck radius)" DC Custom Guitars offers hand scalloping because we
feel not only is a radius hand scalloped neck more natural &
comfortable to play, but in fact it leaves more wood intact which equals
a stronger, straighter neck. When the procedure is complete, the fret
board will look identical to many popular shredder custom shop necks
found on high end guitars.
Why Scallop?
There are many reasons why some musicians prefer scalloped fret
boards over conventional fret boards. The most important reason and most
noticeable advantage is more control of the note being fretted. More
control of each note being fretted equals better tone and a cleaner
sound no matter how fast you are playing. This also means more control
when bending and using the vibrato/pull on/off techniques. The extra
control is due to the fact that your fingers wrap themselves around the
string, instead of being bottomed out on a conventional flat fret board.
More surface area of your finger has a grip on the string which gives
you the advantage of gaining complete control of each note! Unlock the

Scallop Depth & Shape
Side dot installation
depth plays an important role in the actual Scallop Depth. Necks can
typically be scalloped to a depth of 1-2mm w/o affecting side
dots. Blackmore progressive style scallops,
Malmsteen full style
scallops, 12th fret up scallops , 9th fret up scallops & 21-24th fret
scallops are our most popular scallop types. We also would love to work
with you to create your very own scallop shape!
