I went to Denmark street today to try and cheer myself up. I found a mid 80's jap Fender Strat with a scalloped rosewood fretboard for only £499. Plays super smooth and the stock single coils aren't too bad. I'll post pics up soon!

Scalloped fretboard? That makes it instantly uncool. :(

I wasn't a fan of them before either, but this one just has something. It's incredibly easy to play. The scallop profile is like the Richie Blackmore scallop not the big deep scallop of the Malmsteen.

So is that a factory scallop, or a DIY job?

Sounds cool man! Nice one. I never actually played a scalloped fret guitar before.

I think it's a DIY job. But who ever done it done a pretty good job of it.

I think the far more interesting story is why you needed cheering up in the first place. Tell!!

Those early Jap strats are great guitars - good score!

ah shite sorry to hear that bud... her loss were u seeing her long?

I wasn't with her long. But the way we were with each other you'd think we'd been together for years. I've been through break ups before but not like this, so it's a new thing for me and i'm finding ways of dealing with it. Getting absolutly paraletic didn't help matters

Sorry to hear about the break up Malicious but a new guitar is the perfect antidote. I thought for a moment that putting seafood on your fret board was a bit risky until I re-read it.
