    Does anyone know?
    I'm looking to do some scalloping.

    They are not thick at ALL!
    I would actually advise against it if
    its a newer model Usa Jackson.
    In fact, these are so thin that Jackson will not even do a scalloping on a custom shop order with fins....

          Isn't scalloping done BEFORE the inlays are placed down?! My '93 Explorer Custom is scalloped and it's got the sharks...
          "Got a crazy feeling I don't understand,
          Gotta get away from here.
          Feelin' like I shoulda kept my feet on the ground
          Waitin' for the sun to appear..."

            Thanks for the info guys.

            sigh... seems like I can't scallop the KE3's neck then... have to find a performer neck...

              IIRC, the Arash "signature" [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] guitar was scalloped with fins and that was finished just about 2 years ago.

                Nope, that guitar has no inlays, it was just in here last week for a setup (was finished last summer, BTW) [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

                Gotta love Kahlers, there doesn´t seem to be a tech in the Frankfurt area that can set one up to his liking, so he sends his axe to me [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
