  • @GetReide not even 22, but 21 frets! scalloped fretboard + 008 gauge of strings= amazing string bending.

  • @RaterisimoCBA you wont mess up, on the final fret (21) the space is so small you will only notice the benefits of a scallop. if you have a rosewood board you can do it yourself, all you need is some masking tape to protect the metal frets, a round file and some 400 grit sandpaper. also some dunlop lemon oil. (patience is also needed)

  • @infectionsman Nice ! I didn´t know that some play with only the 21st fret scalloped, but I would mess up all the time, it would feel different and I go there a lot , I should try a scalloped guitar first, the only problem is ... I haven´t seen left handed scalloped strats out there ! haha :)

  • @RaterisimoCBA I think it helps alot. but correct string height, Eb tuning, and finger placement is also important. You can scallop the 21st fret only if you dont like scallops, some players do this Chris Impelliteri for example.

  • @infectionsman There is no fucking way I can physically pull that off my regular strat , not even If I put 0.08 strings ... This is only possible with a scalloped neck, right ?

  • @RaterisimoCBA yes, he bends from 21 (C) to 26 (F), he says F# in the video but his guitar is tuned 1/2 step down so it is actually in the key of F

  • FUCK, let me get this straight (If my own guitar test using this video is correct) ... with that bend on 21th fret .. he is getting to a 26th fret equivalent note ???  , not 24.. but 26 ?!

  • The guitar must suffer like hell!

  • @twilightzone2012

    yeah, quite insane control..If you listen to it at the end while not watching it sounds EXACTLY like he just taps the high note on a fret, but he is bending it..How many people can do that?

  • i love a 0.08 on the high E, but it does not love me....
