The heat element is in the aluminium rod. The controller is an esp32 touchscreen vibe coded.

Got this one at a good price to repair. What a fun pedal.

[QUESTION] Restoring a free Washburn N2. Should I fix a botched scallop job or replace the entire fretboard?

Hey everyone, I recently acquired this Washburn N2 for free. The body is in good condition and I plan to keep it (it's my first Floyd Rose!), but the neck needs some serious attention.

Someone tried to DIY scallop the fretboard and did a pretty rough job. I have experience replacing fretboards, but trying to level out or repair an existing, uneven scallop job is new territory for me.

From a time and playability standpoint, what would you recommend?

Try to clean up and reshape the existing scallop?

Pull the frets, sand it flat, and re-radius?

Scrap it completely and install a new fretboard?

Thanks in advance for the input!
