Well, I'll finally have a scalloped fretboard guitar. It's not an Yngwie model, but it'll do. It's a Warmoth with a swamp ash body, Music Man style headstock with what looks like a speck or two of birdseye, and a 24 fret scalloped ebony board with stainless steel frets. It has a German Schaller Floyd with a big brass block. It has a DiMarzio Crunch Lab/PAF Pro pickup set and is 7lbs 7oz.

It should be a blast to play. I asked him if he had taken the neck off to look for the Warmoth turtle stamp and he assured me it's Warmoth. I'm going to take the neck off first thing just to make sure. I'll have to find some very low profile fret marker stickers so I'll be able to actually see where I'm at when I'm playing, but it's time to really hone my light touch so I can shred those notes.

Very cool, unique guitar. Looks great!

If you just described all the different parts to me on paper, I don't think I'd like it. Natural wood finish, gold hardware, scalloped ebony board, Music Man style headstock? But all those parts manage to come together great.
 
Awesome looking guitar! Love the EBMM headstock with the staggered 4+2 tuners!:2thumbsup::inlove:

I refretted one of my main players that always had 6100 jumbos( all my guitars had 6100 jumbos) and I thought hell......when it was time to refret I'll get more wear out of 6000 Extra Jumbos and I could not get used to it one bit...... they were just too high..........I took the guitar back to my luthier and had him pull the extra jumbos and install new 6100 Jumbos........it was worth every penny to me to get the 6100 jumbos back......:LOL:

I know I wouldn't like a scalloped neck for sure but they are cool...........................Congrats on the new fiddle!
