What bugs me about that guitar is that the pick guard won't actually guard anything.

apparently helps with vibrato and bends since you get a better traction on the string but ughhghguklsdhckas

I'm sure glad you explained that, it's very interesting.

The following exhibit combines literally everything bad about guitars: Stupid paintjob, stupid shape, double necked, 7-strings, fretless, and the fact that both necks are (ugh) bass guitars. I'm sure some of these frets are scalloped for her pleasure, too, if you find that sort of thing interesting.

The guitar is going to get dinged all over the place; the pick won't destroy the sound if you scratch up the top. Or learn how to play guitar proper and you won't even need a pickguard.

Everybody, turn off the music and stop talking please so you can all listen to my version of Wonderwall. That is much more fun and cool than partying to A$AP Rocky.

The pickguard is more or less designed to hold the electronics in Fender guitars, on anything else you might as well throw them away

Is it a pickguard, or, or... Is it holding the neck-pickup in place??? Mysterious!

(Last sperg for a while, I promise), Scratch plates on Stratocasters were designed for super easy drop-in assembly, you just solder the output wire in and you're away. Fender guitars were designed for efficient factory assembly which is why most cheap guitars are Strat clones.


I'll be good now, I promise.

Oh, c'mon, there's nothing wrong with fretless. I have one and it's fun, you're just envy... :colbert:
But that one is definitely not a good example.

ashgromnies posted:

Isn't it usually just the last 4 or so frets?

What is the point of scalloping though, for real.

The reason for a scalloped fretboard is to give you the feel of ultra-high action. You also can do pretty much anything you want with each note because there isn't any friction from your fingers touching wood. They don't actually feel much different from regular guitars but some idiots pick them up and try to push strings beyond the frets and claim it's "hard to play"

It's an 'ergonomic' design, looks dopey as hell but it's really nice to play, I can't remember who makes them now but it's nearly impossible to find an original model without dents from falling off guitar stands.

Mother of god. Here's an acoustic guitar by the same ergonomic genius that churned out those electric abominations. Aesthetics ain't Klein's strong suit.

the only real advantage would be almost no friction when you do vibrato. otherwise you just bought one because it looks cool or seemed like a novel idea. just like any guitar weirdness
