Re: *PICS* My SCALLOPED guitar and ME!!!

It looks like another guitar for Paul Gilbert's collection! I like that half red/white pickup! Speaking of which, I got that Paul Gilbert bootleg VHS, with Paul playing and singing Hendrix tunes, as well as doing clinics, featuring Rob Halford on vocals.
The quality is a step above crap, so I won't copy it, but I'd probably send it to you guys, knowing you'll send it back. Paul is truly a hilarious individual, and even spends time showing us his collection of stupid guitars. It's great!

Re: *PICS* My SCALLOPED guitar and ME!!!

must have clips NOW!!!!! .. i dont care that they are dimarzios - good tone is good tone .. and biu, PLEASE be on the vanguard of those bringing back real guitar ... be all about excess notes and excess aquanet ..

Will do, t4d! Hehe, I think having DiMarzio's entitles me to play as many notes as possible, regardless of quality :laugh2:
But seriously, I will be sure to post clips if I ever figure out how to use my Roland DiscLab (school's been smothering me with HOMEWORK! UGH!)
I'll try as best I can to bring back real guitar, though. I think I'd just about die without solos, seems to make guitar kinda pointless if there's no leads, ya know? Besides, if I've already souped my guitar up this much already, it would be a shame to not cut some heads, right?

That would be great, GJ! It may be difficult to pry away from Fatty Woo, he's quite the Paul Gilbert obessor! Hmmm, maybe I should send some of these pics to the man himself and see what he thinks?

Re: *PICS* My SCALLOPED guitar and ME!!!

Forgive me for being a jackass.

Why would someone scallop the neck?
Is it for full on shredders or something?
And why do they only scallop above the 12th fret in most instances?

Re: *PICS* My SCALLOPED guitar and ME!!!

no idea about the 12th fret thing..mine is all the way baby...but I did it becase it allows someone with a lighter touch to really fly all over the fretboard. Oh, also, I like Shakti, featuring John McLaughlin- It helps to get those microtonal bends common in Indian music. You only press down till the string hits the fret, so you get used to not working so hard. I am suprised it isn't more popular.

Re: *PICS* My SCALLOPED guitar and ME!!!

Dude you have to start posting clips again!

Fo sho! I don't exactly know where I'd fit in there though because I listen to/play a lot of that shred stuff (PG, Satch, 80's metal etc.) and other times I play pop/rock and classic rock (Sahara Hotnights, Queen, Led Zep, etc.). Heh, I have odd music taste, I guess. I think we should ALL swear upon our LIVES to bring back guitar though. We are in desperate musical times! :yell:

Haha, Seafoamer, I was impersonating that Eric Johnson ad for GHS strings

Davey, modding guitars is just waaaay too fun. I don't think I'll ever buy a guitar and leave it stock again.

Nuntius, I'm still pretty hazy on the matter of posting clips. If I get around to recording some, I might, who knows.

Glad you guys dig the guitar. Hopefully, it screams BIU and provides a bit of relief from the oh-so-typical emo/screamo/hardcore Gibson/Epi SG fad that seems to be going on where I live.

Why would someone scallop the neck?

It bends easier and it's great for vibrato

Is it for full on shredders or something?

It's for anyone who likes the feel. I think it'd be great for country...

And why do they only scallop above the 12th fret in most instances?

It's much easier to chord on the lower frets that way. If you're not in great control over how hard you're pressing, the strings will go sharp. Not as much of a problem on the 12th fret up, unless you chord up there alot...

It was my first attempt, so I went a little nutz, not knowing it wouldn't really make a difference :smack: Oh well, it still r0x!

I'll definitely record more clips. I don't know about posting them though. People here don't seem to dig my stuff too much (minus a select few). I like sharing my clips with my friends and people at school because I get a lot of feedback (good/bad) and, I dunno, it seems more rewarding.



My other guitars look so BORING now! I may have to give them the "Biu Treatment" :laugh2:

Re: *PICS* My SCALLOPED guitar and ME!!!
