On the 95 I used to own the scallops were deeper and more like a half circle ( semetrical ) and the neck and board were maple.
On this one the neck is maple and the board is rosewood... these scallops are the flat bottom type. This makes the feel more like a traditional nech/board but gives all the advantages of a scalloped board. Bends and vibrato are clearer and more fluid, pull offs are way more effective. When picking and hammering on if you have a heavy firm grip there will have to be an adjustment made so you do not make notes go sharp, I find this with traditional boards too. Scalloped boards are more touch sensative aswell and give you a better more accurate interpretation of finger to string contact.
I found it an easy transition and one I have become to prefer.
