O RLY?
From Kenneth's post: "if you push a string down to the fretboard on a scalloped neck, the distance you moved it is greater."
(i.e. he was basing his argument on pressing the string down to the fretboard. To make it even more basic, he was talking about how hard the player is pressing the strings down)
From your post (which i realize isn't in question at the moment, but I'll put it here anyway because it made me laugh):
"Other than shredding, unless you're a person who's too lazy to press the string hard enough that it touches the fretboard, it doesn't make any difference "
Exactly....it's a matter of the individual...not whether or not their guitar is scalloped.
And they'll be the same ones ones bending the string 1/4 off on an unscalloped guitar.
This conversation should have been over when Eske said:
"Sorry man, you are not going into detail in explaining why a scalloped fretboard will make you play out of tune, you are, however, explaining why bad technique will make you play out of tune..."
Again, THERE IS NO REASON AT ALL THAT HAVING SCALLOPPED A FRETBOARD MAKES YOU PLAY OUT OF TUNE. The fact that a little bit of wood is missing does not contribute to you pushing the string down any further UNLESS you are pressing the strings down too hard on the fretboard of a non-scalloped guitar and playing extremely out of tune on that one as well.
