Refret or Scallop?

Doctor J · 08-25-2005, 12:26 PM

I've decided to pimp my LTD H-207, going to stick a Tone Zone and Air Norton into it, replacing the stock Duncan Designed. The frets are too small for my liking so I'm having trouble deciding whether to refret it or just gently scallop between each fret. What do you think?

Too SMALL? Jeez, you must not have the same frets I have - they're bigger than any other guitar I own, including two Jacksons with 6100 in them. Go for the scallop!

They're mediums at best. Something has to be done

Refret & then scallop the top end of the neck anyway...

And if you do refret, you might want to try out stainless steel fretwire. I hear it lasts forever and is soooooo smooth to play on. Mmmmmm...

you'll need to refret to do a proper scallop anyways. So there.

Touché, though who said anything about doing it properly
