Katmetl, I may scallop the frets on the sunburst, I'll have to see/hear how the strings sit on the board.  The frets are extremely low.  I may have to refret the board.<br><br>Thanks for looking and the compliments.]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hey 97reb,<br><br>Before you install the neck, why not scallop that fretboard? I did this recently to my Gibson L6S knockoff, starting at the 10th fret, &amp; it is simply amazing to play. When I get more time, I plan on doing the entire fretboard &amp; also replacing the frets, they are worn "flat" from  years of play.<br><br>It turned out very well, I plan on posting pics here when I get some free time. :)]]></content:encoded>
