Nile guitar? What is it?
I watched this video from Nile today & the one dude was playing a V with a long point on the headstock & it didnt have a name that i could read on it. Anybody know what this guitar is? Ive seen it before but i cant remember where.

i dont like that head. must be hard to find a hard case to fit it.
Also, the body looks very small dont you think?
cant see the neck very well, but i believe its karl's Jackson that has the scalloped neck. i have allways wanted to try one of those.

the fretboard is well 'scalloped',to make a concave shape.It feels like there is no fretboard under your fingers,and it makes bends easier and shit.

You can do it to one of yours you know... It doesn't look hard, just takes a long time to do it right. I saw a detailed guide for it on a site once...
I'd do it if I had more than 2 guitars and knew how a scalloped neck feels.

Well, no mistaking that. I would never do that to my guitar, but it would be fun to try it out.

Yea what I was thinking of doing is ordering a scalloped warmoth neck for one of my guitars and then if I don't like it I think I saw something on their site that you can send it back if you decide against it or something like that.
