Valley Arts Strat

This is a 1995 Valley Arts California Pro Stratocaster In sea foam green. When I bought this guitar I was not really looking for a new instrument, but I saw a special sale on a batch of these outstanding guitars, and so I jumped all over this one. This guitar has a couple of aspects regarding its specifications that I think are unusual, but not in an undesirable way. The first thing I noticed and thought was kinda okay strange, was that the neck has a 24.75 scale like a Gibson Les Paul, or most other Gibson models. This being a stratocaster, I thought that was fairly cute. Another spec that I thought might warrant a mention, and that actually kicks even the largest of rumps, is the Kahler locking tremolo that is an exact replica of a Floyd Rose! I was not aware that Kahler made Floyd Rose style tremolos until I purchased this axe. But rest assured slick, they most certainly do! All hardware is 24kt gold plated. With nice resonant medium weight alder wood for the body, combined with straight grained maple on the neck topped off with a 1/4 inch thick rosewood 16 degree radius fingerboard and dense nickel silver jumbo frets and Duncan pickups, and were ready to rock! Actually, and you knew this was coming, I have not put in a whole lot of time on this instrument because of the fact that the neck is not scalloped. I really only play guitars with scalloped necks. I do not know who I can trust to scallop the guitar properly...any ideas?
