I've been toying with the idea of getting a scalloped neck on a custom order guitar after playing with a friends scalloped one for awhile and finding it fun and challenging. But, I was also previously planning to get a fixed bridge before thinking about changing the fretboard. Is there any problem with this?

I researched online quite a bit in the last few days and every single scalloped guitar also has a tremolo, so I'm not sure if that is needed to counter the strain in the string since a medium-deep scallop would enable one to bend pretty strongly into the scalloped area (whether intentional or not). I really like the feel/sustain of a fixed bridge but don't want to be breaking strings or any other unwanted effect everytime I pull a little too hard perhaps while quickly changing chords or getting used to the neck.

Thanks
