How´s the mid range or even high range on such a guitar? The floyd rose takes quite a lot out of the 24 fret frequency range - or so I have heard/experienced.

I wanted to try a scalloped neck and found one on Ebay. I put in some Jeff Beck noiseless pickups, it sounded great except it was too deep from the nut to the 12th fret. It felt like a sitar. Today it has a nice Carvin maple neck with locking tuners. Intonation is excellent. She lets me float her whammy and pull her G string up a minor 3rd. Holds pitch better than most. Subsequently I found an Ibanez with a scalloped neck done just right. It's loaded up with Seymour Duncan's. My Kemper Loves these Guitars! -
Very nice MuddySludge,I have never tried a scalloped neck guitar!!!
I do love maple necks tho,got a 76 Les Paul Deluxe with a maple neck to die for,
what are the pros and cons of the scalloped necks?
cheers -
Scallops scare me unless lightly roasted and wrapped in bacon with a toothpick!

I just screwed this together to have in rehearsal so I dont have to bring two guitars every time we rehearse with The Storyteller. Most are in Eb but some are in E.
Warmoth body with Original Floyd Rose
Dimarzio EVO
Kramer Striker 600st neck which I half-assed refretted and did some crappy fretjob.
Tuned to EbIt buzzes and some notes chokes but I dont care. It plays good enough and the places on the fretboard that are problems, I rarely go to in Storyteller songs. It's actually my only Floyd Rose guitar that is floating, my other 3 are blocked to dive-only. But it stays pretty well in tune, of course. It's just that I prefer dive-only for a more "hardtail feel". I can play with floating, but it's not my prefered setup.

Otherwise I use my Jackson RR24 for Eb songs. That one is PLEKed so it's... a WHOLE lot better than this. Hahahaha!!!!

You can bend and get vibrato so easy. This one is extreme, he stopped just before he scratched the godamn truss rod!
I could lean back and see the bottoms of me fingers.(no blisters). I may use this for a Koto guitar and bend like a willow tree.
Looks like an aerial photo of a motocross course. -
Wow my friend that looks unnerving,what guage of string do you use with this neck?
but I do like bends and vibrato served with a side dish of calluses -
009-046 Light strings felt like King Kong working a sitar. They need to be just deep enough so your flesh doesn't touch any wood, just string. When it gets too deep the sides of the neck snag your fingers moving around Man, it will send you on a Bender!

Although I am really happy with my Schecter I couldn't resist when I saw this on sale. Looks and sounds cool

No problems with the intonation?

Probably not, if one caress the neck only!

Reminds me of yngwie malmsteen's idea
He has his fender guitar slightly similar although the neck does
not have as much deep groves in the fret board
But he still has them deeper than normal
This concept is based on an instrument from another centuryAsh

So... you didn't opt for the characterful-perspex body, Dennis? You could've saved a bunch of dough, man.

Well since the wood don't matter towards tone for an electric, I was gonna ask for Plywood instead of Korina.
I also tried to get him to swap some 1970s wall paneling on the fretboard but that crazy guy wants to glue Brazilian Rosewood instead.
I'm like "whuh?!?"But he's stuck in his ways and I'm, you know, a sucker for the myth!
