scalloped fretboards, where to get them done cheapest

[LadyInTears]

i wanna do a YJM project, but i realised, that if i send it for professional scallopping, it would cost more then the guitar body im using and thats stupid.
any suggestions?

i guess you need a file for that , a curved file and file it .

steady hands, perfect eyesight, elbow grease, masking tape, exacto knife, contour sander + attachments, etc...

everything else you need to know is here http://www.projectguitar.com/tut/scal1.htm

let me tell you 1st that if you're not careful, there's a high chance of permanently ruining your neck.

plus i dont think it works with pearl inlays... but i dont know for sure.
