Every few years someone does the super scalloped fingerboard thing in combination with some other gimmick. Guitar players ignore them in droves and buy more Teles and Strats and Les Pauls. Same as it ever was. rct Agreed, same as it ever was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super light touch, string touches fret and nothing else, mostly classical type players. I think his was scalloped from 12th up. It's a thing, but it isn't really a sellable thing. I had a good time at the Fender Fakktory with some Yngwie necks they were rushing out, they are scalloped. It's odd, but if it is your thing it is your thing. And every few years someone does it again, one was scalloped AND fan fretted I remember. But put it on one of these hideous things and you are guaranteeing zero sales to the most conservative consumers on the planet, us. rct Blackmore sent his old Strat in for a refret and the guy sanded it flat because he thought it had worn down.

I've only seen him talk a couple of times, and he seemed nice enough, especially as the old Blackmore of Blackmore's Night. He's supposed to be a real prick, if I got to play with that Purple bunch every night I'd be whatever I wanted too! rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutha Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 The impression I`ve always got is that he is a wind up merchant. Lets on he is smartest guy in the room until you give it back and then have the craic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
