Recommendations for scalloping service?

[toneboy]

I'm thinking about getting the neck of one of my guitars scalloped. Does anyone have someone they would recommend, based upon experience, that offers this service?

I don't have the time nor the inclination to do it myself (the guitar in question is not an inexpensive one) so that's not an option.

interesting question. Please let us know if anyone has had this done professionally. I've been looking into this too, and found various **** and internet luthiers who offer this service for ~100USD. I too am interested in taking this route to achieve the ultimate blues bending machine!

Full scallop or Vai type 4 fret scallop?

Ha, that was cool to watch but it didn't help. I'm looking for a recommendation from someone who has had their neck scalloped and was pleased with the end result.

I've already searched the Internet and while I've found a few people that offer the service, I would like to hear about some positive customer experiences with them.

Chris Tatalius at Hot Rod 6-String (vendor) had scalloped 2 guitars for me.

That's exactly what I was looking for. I take you have been happy with the end result?

I scalloped the neck on my 570 (I posted here). I am very happy with it, but it took a long, long time to do.

Anybody that will do it for $100.00 is in my opinion seriously undercharging, or....?

I would ask for references and pictures of their work before you ship your neck out.

Its kinda like getting a tattoo. Its permanent.

Also if you have anything other than mother-of-pearl dot inlays I would think twice. I would love to have my sharktooth neck scalloped, but know better.

Just my $.02.

Good luck.
