Fretboard scalloping in the DC area?


I have an LTD George Lynch kamikazee and I would like to get the fretboard scalloped (at least the upper frets). Does anyone know of a shop in the DC area that does this? Thanks.

With a whole lotta patience, and carefully, you can do it by youself.
I did a full scallop on a Charvel neck...gave it about 3 days to finish.
Remember though, that least is the most, just take away as much as it needs for your fingerflesh not to touch the fretboard, NOT more .

Try Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center in Wheaton, MD. They have a good guitar shop. If they can't do it, they may know someone that can. Good luck!

I called Chuck Levin's but they don't do it and didn't have a contact for someone who does. Thanks anyway! I'll keep searching.

Dude, you should really do it yourself, it'll save you alot of money, and the results will be great. As I mentioned in another topic about scalloping, I scalloped my whole neck yesterday, wich took me about 6 hours, and it came out perfect. I'll post a tutorial here soon, since the others I've found were lacking.
