Ok then, with the missing wood under where ever you`re fretting,you`ll have the standard note of that fret position,then if youm press a little harder the note will sharpen as the tension increases,in turn changing the note. Now if this is done in one fluid motion, you will here the note that is the highest tension first,then the transition to the actual fretted note. Same principal as bending the strings,the change in tension you hear is just being done up and down between the chosen fret instead of being bent across the fretboard.
Geez, I hope that makes sense and sounds more logical. Words always tend to escape me when I try to explain things.

That`s the best way I can think of to put it in "laymen`s "terms. As most musical terminology escapes me. You do know what a scalloped fretboard is and looks like right?

		OK,answered my question today with a trip to Guitar Center,I played a Yngwie model strat that had the scalloped fretboard. Interesting!! You almost have two notes per fret to play. With the motion of your fingers you have a constant variable on the string that makes the note literally "ringout" and change pitch while sustaining.I now know how Yngwie sounds the way he does during his 100mph solo`s. Can`t say I will get one with the fretboard this way,maybe from the 12th fret up would be ok. But the Gem of my trip was the purchase of the Line6 Pocket POD. This thing is tiny ,but has a monster sound. I have only began to scratch the surface and capabilities of this thing. Looks as if it`s gonna be a fun time though. It does have a setting for"Breaking the Law" that is very accurate.
