Aliexpress Yngwie Malmsteen Strat / Scallops

[solspirit]

I think I would be a natural on one, I play too light when I'm playing fast, the speed surpassed the strength long ago and I constantly have to work out my hand.

I don't think that is a thing, any more than bending notes sharp with tall frets. It simply doesn't happen.

I must have a different group of friends
i have this problem with tall Ibanez frets
And i know other performers here in town that have ibanez guitars

Granted we are a predominantly acoustic group that play Ibanez electric guitars

I would think that anyone with reasonable technique would adjust within 15 minutes.

You're probably right.

I don't know about that, especially if you spend a lot of time playing bass or acoustic guitar with heavy gauge strings.

As we know, Dave hasn't been to the gym, let along gripped a heavy bar lately, so....not a problem he has.
(Although he appears to be a fairly lean/fit individual)

Do you now?

Do you now?

I mostly worked worked past it but I practically quit playing for several years so I'm back in the same boat now, just not so bad.

What did your friend pay for customs, what was the total?

I’ve got 2 guitars with scalloped fingerboards from a phase I have long since outgrown. But my takeaway is that a nicely scalloped board with well crowned medium frets doesn’t feel much different than a so-cal style neck with 6100 frets. Definitely most noticeable between frets 1-3 and open chording takes a bit more attention to pressure. But definitely from the 5th fret up, feels close to my regular necks with 6100 frets.

i don't know what the going rate is now, but when i got mine in 2014, i was charged about $35 in fees upon delivery.

This may be the reason that Vai has his necks scalloped the way they are

That is exactly my feeling as well.
