The model
The Diablo
Made to have the most phenomenal sustain and tone imaginable — and it does exactly that. Whoever said beauty is only skin deep never picked one up.
Balance you can let go of
Sit it on your lap, take your hands off, and it stays right there. That same balance is what makes it comfortable standing through a long night.
The flowing curve of the dominant long horn is visually stunning and structural: it wraps around to the outward turn of the small horn and hooks onto your leg for a more solid feel.
A top nearly an inch thick
The arched maple top is .9 inches thick. That gives an incredible attack while letting every note ring out instead of getting lost in the mix — biting attack, chunky bass, articulated mids.
The thickness also buys a deep arch with no re-curve, so there's no sharp edge to cut into your forearm, and the scoops give full access to the high frets.
