This is Tim's Black Cherry Diablo. It has a really cool swamp ash top which started out as one, thick piece. I then bookmatched it. This gave it the nice swirling pattern. It also has a cocobola neck with three P90's and a piezo trem. I make special trems and saddles for piezo, so I can use just the inserts to make them piezo. It also has two jacks. One for magnetics and one for piezo. This eliminates the need for a stereo Y cable. Normal mono cables can be used. I had to make a cool looking jack plate for it. The color came out great! I shielded the control cavity with copper and the back plates are carbon fiber with matching ash on them. This makes a really good 60 cycle hum shield. Tim liked the Diablo's shape so much that he had me do the inlays in Diablos. It turned out really cool. |

Notice that the truss rod cover is made from the same piece as the headstock. Look how the black stripe matches. |
