Ok, let me try..

19,20,21(22 no scallop-no fret) scallop is like the Malmsteen - all strings and completely rounded.

Between all other frets the scallop is looking like a wave. More graduated at the higher strings, more flat on the lower strings (but all are scalloped even at the very first from nut to 1st fret.
So the "pattern" of the very first scallop (nut to 1st) is looking like a wave that is high at the nut and getting lower at the 1st fret and is getting deeper from the low E to the high e string.
Looking at the fretboard from above (headstock right - body to the left) the wave looks like the upper part of a "D".

The left side of the D is carved out deeper than the right side.
The upper part(low E) is not as deep carved as the lower part(high e).

Puh, hope that makes sense.
The scallop is not deeper than 2.5mm at the deepest part (21st fret).

Cheers,
Robin

Thanks, I am going to give it a go on the rosewood squier project guitar. Will try it sometime this year. I have two other projects to finish before I start sanding.

Here is Ritchie and his pretty wife talking about his guitars. He will explain a little about his scalloping and how it was ruined once.

They are both pretty, guitar and wife
Yes, great informations but it´s Ritchie he likes to mislead people somehow.
Take your time for the scalloping of the fretboard, most people seem to overdo the scalloping the first time. Maybe better doing that 2-3 times to come up with a perfect job.

Cheers,
Robin

Yes Ritchie is a "trix-ter" I thought the mystery strap button was a nice touch.
