    If you make the first cut in the center of the space with a triangle file, the round file will have an easier time tracking in subsequent cuts. Carvers often use a sawcut for startin round grooves for spirals

    One small tip: you were working by looking at the side dots, so that side of the fretboard is probably evenly scalloped, but the side we saw (facing the camera) has very uneven depths in the scallops, as you can see at 02:08 and yes, I know the job was far from done, but I see that unevenness stayed uncorrected until the end. So it's good to keep checking often on both sides to make sure not only both sides are symmetric, but also that all frets are even as you go from one to another (up and down). Cheers!

    That works Tim, but thee are two refining points to point out for you here. One is before you start brush on two or more coats of clear enamel or lacquer over the frets so you have an instant visual indicator if you get too close or briefly graze them. Two,in the jigging you made to mount the neck down, the old world pros would have made wooden guides in the jig on both sides to also have sight and feel indicators so you will know how level or how deep you are going on your scallops. Cheers.

    it makes sense for a scalloped "shredder" neck to have a reverse headstock, it's more comfortable to tune. a lot of sheedders have their custom guitars built this way!

    • @unacuentadeyoutube13
      @unacuentadeyoutube13 10 месяцев назад

      yeah, but I guess it has less tuning stability, as the thicker strings are the ones with the more extra length past the nut

    • @ronalddettman2021
      @ronalddettman2021 3 дня назад

      ​@@unacuentadeyoutube13- "On a reverse headstock guitar neck, the low E string generally experiences improved tuning stability compared to a standard headstock, as the design increases the string's elasticity and reduces the tendency for it to"flap" due to its increased angle on the tuning post, making it less prone to going out of tune."
      "The reverse headstock angle causes the lower strings, like the E, to wrap around the tuning post with more tension, which enhances their elasticity and stability."
      "Some players also report a slightly fuller and more defined low-end with a reverse headstock design."
      "When playing a Telecaster reverse headstock neck, for example, you'll have more tuning stability and tension to play chords, power chords, and open chords. The lowest strings will be more stable."

    I've always been curious about how it would feel to play a scalloped fretboard, but not curious enough to do it to one of my guitars. It looks easy enough to do, but there's no going back if you don't like it.

      It doesn't really change the tone at all, just allows your fingers to grab the strings more for bends. It doesn't allow you to play faster or slow you down, it just gives you more room for the flesh of your finger to get under the string without the wood between the frets governing how much flesh can go under.

      They make super duper jumbo frets (not sure the name or size) they're so big it feels like playing on a scalloped board, so if you know how to refret you could use those to try it out, if you don't like them then fret it again

    I literally bought a cheap used guitar to do this with, files, clamps, etc... about 4 years ago, and couldn't bring myself to do it.
    The nail bed on a couple of my fretting fingers is all the way forward, and unless I've literally clipped them back and filed them today, they can tend to dig in to the fret board. I find myself playing worse to try to avoid it. Already using jumbo frets, but hoping that a scalloped fret board would give just that little more room, even if it makes things a bit more difficult.
    Thanks for the concise video!

      it also can help you stay more in tune as you play around the neck your intonation will come in to greater effect the more up and down you play on the neck. scalloped frets allow for tuning a note on the fly and being better in tune just makes you sound... well better

    Question. How far down does your curve go ?
    I think to avoid the string touching the wood , you dont have to go that far .
    ... would it be a good idea to stick a line of tape on the side as a depth indicator ?
    Or do the narrower frets go down deeper than the wider frets ?

    How much would this effect the neck bow from truss rod and string tension? I have an old jackson neck that wont bow forward enough to raise the action off the frets... I already replaced the neck, but i was thinking this might soften it enough to let it bent forward, maybe?

    • @timsway
      @timsway  24 дня назад

      most guitars nowadays have 2-way truss rods so you can use that to push tension either up or down. I imagine removing some fingerboard would effect the movement, but within the parameters of the truss rod's capabilities on a properly made neck.

    I have bought some cheap second hand guitars to try this sort of thing with but one point I can't seem to resolve is how deep to make the scallops.
    The only scalloped neck I have ever played was over 30 years ago at a guitar show in west London. I can't even remember the brand now but from memory is was about £1500 which I think was almost twice the price of a Les Paul at the time. The person on the stand asked what I thought of it and my initial impression was that it would make me a better player technically because I realised that I was not feeling for the fretboard when pressing the strings down.
    I have seen comments that scalloping changes the tone because the string is not in contact with the wood but I think something different is happening. I found that I was not pressing on as hard so could play faster but I needed to up my game on getting my fingers in exactly the right position. So my response to the question was firstly that it was nearly three months salary at the time so way beyond my means but as an instrument had I been a professional guitar player I would definitely have been adding it to my quiver because it would demand that I improve my technique.
    Now many decades later I am going to try it and see if I was right. But it would still be helpful if someone could help decide how deep I go. I think that so long as it is deep enough to remove the feeling of pressing against the fretboard rather than the frets it will work, but how deep is that? Some experimentation required methinks.

    • @timsway
      @timsway  6 месяцев назад +2

      You don't have to push down harder. that's the idea, I suppose, to separate the incorrect thought in your brain that you need to "touch wood" to make the note. All you really need to do is make consistent contact with the fret. So if anything it would teach you to push lighter, which can translate into faster, easier...

    • @Richard0503
      @Richard0503 5 месяцев назад +1

      If you don't want to make a wooden jig etc you can measure the depth on both sides of the neck and mark your desired depth with tape. For the dot inlays, they are usually a few mm thick - if you see them starting to turn see through, you will know you are about to eat through them. The side markers obviously need a little bit of care if you are not planning to hit them. Little tip - if its a sort of mother of pearl type inlay be cautious - they can be very thin - like a mm or so.

Throughout the 80s, it had the original vintage fretwire, but he had it refretted when they wore down (or he simply may have wanted to try a larger fretwire). So it's not an impossible task.

      It is literally impossible to please or be liked by everyone - especially when there are so many people who just want to hate for hate's sake and no real reason.
      But "hate" is such a broad term. First, you need to categorize it a little.
      If someone is paying you and they hate the job you've done, that is dissatisfaction. But don't take it as a personal "hate," use it as the professional motivation it is and should be to be better! It's up to you to make it right and this is the hardest one to deal with, but inevitable in a life of forward movement.
      I built my career on saying "yes" to things I didn't know how to do so I could learn and grow. There were certainly mistakes made. Still are! lol. And I feel terrible about every one. But they also are big steps in my development of skills and knowledge. My other option was to not leave my comfort zone and not learn and grow, which seems like not living to me.
      Me today "hates" choices I made 10 years ago, with less info, experience and tools. But of course I wouldn't write hateful things to me, because I'm not an asshole!
      And to be clear, today, if I know something is a very valuable or very sentimental piece and I'm not sure if I can do it, I probably won't. I'll help them find someone better suited to the job or go and learn how first. Thanks RUclips :)
      Ok, so that's the bad news, but here's the good news. THAT IS THE ONLY HATE THAT MATTERS!!! Well, besides maybe displeasing a spouse or loved one, of course, but that's not hate either, it's disappointment.
      All other versions of hate are insignificant and meaningless.
      Once I chopped up a chair that I pulled from a dumpster into a new chair and got inundated with upset comments because they considered that chair a valuable, historical artifact. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, but I saved it in a literal dumpster so anything I did to it was better than what was going to happen to it!!! The customer loved it. Perspective.
      Negative, hateful comments on the internet are written by small, unhappy people - or bots/people intentionally trying to stir dissension. They should have no meaning or impact. Most of these people would never speak in person as they do here and if they did say thew things they write, you'd probably think they were a crazy person, feel sorry for them and walk away. So why should that person's thoughts alter how you think of yourself?
      Sometimes you'll get hate from "experts" who "know more than you." Something I've found over the years is the people who are actually skilled at something and have knowledge to share, do so without being hateful or insulting. So I listen to them. I'm always skeptical of or disinterested in the skills and advice of an angry, hate-filled person. Add them to the ignore list, too! Seek advice from the people who know things AND aren't assholes instead.
      For example, if I saw work you did that I knew was "wrong," I would not say, "You did it wrong. You ruined it. You're dumb," etc. I'd recognize the fact that you repaired something that was broken and offer advice for other things to try in the future. "Nice! Next time, if you use this glue instead of that screw..." etc.
      Because I am not, or at least I try not to be, an asshole. lol
      Now sometimes these haters "get lucky" in their spray of insults and hit on something that you are sensitive about or trying to improve upon. It's almost always physical appearance and it hurts every time. How silly and vein are we humans? lol I also get people complaining about my guitar playing all the time, saying how much I suck. But there will be 5 comments from people saying how much they enjoy my playing but for some reason I only remember the one negative one, right?
      This is encoded in our DNA to keep us alive from millennia ago. Hard to resist lizard brain function, but we must learn to shake it off. Easier said than done, I know.
      In reality all the comments, positive and negative, should have equal value to your sense of self worth and happiness - ABSOLUTELY NONE! If you rely on the positive comments to feel validated, then you must also give value to the negative ones, and those we know have no value, so...
      Now don't get me wrong, I really appreciate it when people take the time to write nice things under my videos (most of my comments are) but you'll see I don't write them novels! lol. What I appreciate and am thankful for is that people take the time to view my work and even more time to say they liked it. That's what means something to me, and I've gotten to "know" many of these people over the years so it is a dialogue among friends. But "User42069" saying "good job!" affects my self worth as much as "User69420" saying "you suck." Not at all.
      I can't base satisfaction of my work on the thoughts of strangers, positive or negative. I have to be satisfied with it myself. Honestly I rarely am, as I am a seeker, but I see each thing I do as progress towards doing it better. Haters can hate it, lovers can love it, but it is up to me how I feel about me.
      I share it all here not for the affirmation or troll fights, but to spread my message of living and making small and sustainably, to document my work for people who care, share my learning and mistakes to hopefully help others, and record my knowledge and experience so it doesn't die with me and can continue to be useful. Oh, and for a little extra advertisement of my work and a few bucks on patreon.com/timsway to help offset the time it takes me to film.
      And occasionally, I get comments such as yours where I can theorize on some of the things I've learned over the years in written form, add it to the registry, and hopefully help you and maybe a few other people put the "self" back in "self worth" that the internet so actively tries to take away.

      When I do these from scratch, I digitally design and make the fretboards on a CNC router, but in this case I was screwing with a premade, inexpensive neck, so I showed the DIY way to do it with simple, inexpensive and accessible tools.

    Why would anyone want a scalloped fretboard?

    • @timsway
      @timsway  Год назад

      It's supposed to reduce friction and make you play faster. I don't think I've ever been fast enough to notice that kind of difference but some shredders swear by it.

    • @Nghilifa
      @Nghilifa Год назад +1

      It removes the friction between your fingers and the fretboard, which allows for better control of the strings, as far as vibrato and string bending are concerned. It doesn't really make you a faster player though. It's mainly for vibrato & bending (and no, jumbo frets do not feel the same).

      I got one to teach myself how to play with a "light touch". Too much pressure in the left hand and you will be out of tune
