    I like it on the higher frets on a few of my own guitars - makes it easier to bend and to articulate notes easily 
    You can execute a bend with one finger that otherwise might take 2
    You can bend either up or down easily, and add vibrato very easily to that bent note
    Your left hand technique can lighten up somewhat  and it would reduce the tension in the hand
    Obviously zero contact with the wood , so zero friction from fingertip
    A change in acoustic and therefore plugged in volume of tricks like hammer ons and pull offs in my opinion



    I intended this one to be  so I moved the side dots over a little in that area


    and also on my Judge Dredd guitar

    Goddammit @FelineGuitars, now I want a Judge Dredd guitar.  Possibly paired with what I confidently predict will be Thorpy’s next offering, the ThorpyFX Lawgiver :)

    What is the process for scalloping a fretboard that already has the frets in it?
    I ask because mine has great chunks taken out of the edges of the higher frets, so I'm assuming you're supposed to scallop with the old frets in and then refret, and the guy who did mine missed out this step? I bought second hand and wish I'd noticed.
