Over done the scalloping??

Well...

Might have been smarter to fit the fret wire like on a sitar.

I actually did laugh out loud.

My immediate thought was M.D Phillips.

Jeez, straight in the parts tray with that monster.

Oh wait, It is the parts tray.

The truss rod must be extremely deep for that not to have hit the channel. I had an old SQ series Squier neck which had been scalloped butchered far less heavily than that and gone through to it at top of the neck.

I used it to test things like the strength of various stripped-neck-screw repair methods, truss rod repair methods, and how strong a Fender-type neck actually is if you put it on two bricks and jump on it...

Yep.

How are those frets actually going stay in?

Press on too hard and you snap the fret off!

Surely that’s a Photoshop job?

Surely any adjustment of the truss rod is going to snap that neck like a carrot! And why isn't the truss rod visible? I'm going with the photoshop angle.

Absolute Toblerone of a guitar.

Yeah, looks photoshop to me. It's got the give-away badly photoshopped pixelation and then there's the truss rod issue and the dot-marker.

They just need to keep going and remove all the wood:

I bet you get great TV reception with that!

Can you buy tall frets?

Nah, don't think that has been photoshopped. I wonder if it has had a new fretboard installed to allow this 'experiment'. If you look at the headstock north of the nut slot,  there is a straight line indicating a maple fretboard glued onto the maple neck. This join is about 2-3mm higher than the truss-rod channel (difficult to guess accurately on a curved surface), and you can follow this line along the edge of the neck - so I reckon there is at least 1-2mm of wood above the trussrod channel.

However, it looks a bit daft. I wonder if it was an attempt to convert something like a strat to a lap-steel-type guitar?
