yeah the reason i did it is cause with my big fat squishy fingers i have to press really hard to get the notes to be clear because my fingers touch the fret board before the string hits the fret. the scallops allow me to press the strings down with lighter pressure in order to touch the frets without my fingers hitting the fret board

 scallops allow  for a super light  touch   enabling   very  highspeed riffs .

if you are  "bending"  you are  pushing way too  hard  .

Is the purpose of the scallops bending by pushing down?
