it just makes those frets nicer and easier for bends and stuff...you really don't need the whole damn guitar scalloped.

 

[Mystique1721]

I was in a rush to try it out because it's my first time using scalloped frets so i didn't clean it



I'm working on it dude.

I'm going to do the whole thing

what guitar is this that you're scalloping?

 

[The Emptier]

i'm aware what scalloped means, but i'm just saying...i'ts my preference. i've played guitar with full scalloped and i like it compared to just 20-24 because there isnt a huge difference on my bends/vibrato up there but on the lower frets its a dream with scalloped

The one on the pic, my Kramer.

Yeah i can't really feel such a difference with the higher frets, I'll do 12-rest and see how that goes, i'll decide then if i'm going to do the whole thing.

 

[The Emptier]

what model is it

I honestly have no idea.

The shopdude who sold it to me didn't know either.

Where do i find it?

 

[The Emptier]

it should be on the back of the headstock, or (if it's a bolt-on) on the metal plate where the neck joins to the body

Not on the back of the headstock nor on the metal-plate.

Just past the last fret? (that is where it is on my RR)
EDIT: shit never mind did not see the pic on the last page

 

[The Emptier]

hmm...that's weird, any sort of id stuff? what does it say on the metal-plate? anything on the headstock at all?

The only piece of text i can find on this guitar is "Kramer™", and it's on the front of the headstock.

 

[The Emptier]

what does it say on the floyd, i can probably narrow it down from there

 

[Ensi]

what does it say on the floyd, i can probably narrow it down from there

"Licensed under Floyd Rose patents."
"Licensed under Floyd Rose pats."

It doesn't say anything.

 

[The Emptier]

If it helps, it was made in some wtf-country.

 

[The Emptier]

ok so its not american. that helps a lot actually

 

[Mystique1721]

I feel really silly asking this question, but my memory just hasn't been the same since the accident. So what's the difference between an artificial harmonic and a pinched harmonic again? And how do you perform each? (I keep thinking they're actually the same thing )

 

[scimitar]

^Mystique: Artifical harmonic is any harmonic done while the fret hand is holding a note, for example tapping a part of the string while holding a fretted to produce a harmonic as Paul Gilbert often does. I don't know how to explain how to perform this except to tell you that if you divided the string into halves or quarters from the fret you're holding to the bridge, the places to hit would be on those quarter marks.

Pinch harmonics are a type of artificial harmonic in which you hit the string with your pick hand thumb right after you've played a note, as in kinda dragging it across in one fluid motion. They are almost always a high pitched, "squealing" note.

hope that helps.
