My personal guitar’s fretboard
Hello readers! I’m back to tell you about one of my favorite and slightly strange guitar features/modifications, also presenting to you the pro’s and con’s (in my opinion) of this subject. This feature/modification is something that is called a scalloped fretboard. What that means is that in between the frets on the bare wood that your finger tips would usually touch the wood is “scooped” out so that your finger makes little to no contact with the fretboard like the photo above ^. Unusual, yes but only to the guitar. Scalloped fretboards are not uncommon on ancient instruments like the sitar and the lute which predate the advent of the modern metal fret wire.
