The Driskill Diablo® and Diablo Blues® just flat out great guitars!

They are made to have the most phenomenal sustain and tone imaginable. They do just that. They are also very beautiful, but whoever said beauty is only skin deep? No matter how good they look, these guys are made to play! That's what they're all about. Playability and tone. Everything about the Diablo is to make it play better and sound better. Also everything on it is there to make it a lifelong friend.  From its non-fading, UV stable dyes, its stress relieved carbon fiber reinforced  necks, to its custom made stainless steel frets. Everything in a Driskill Guitar is to make it play easier, sound better, and last longer.  It just so happens that they are beautiful too.

The body shape is not only killer looking but also causes the guitar to be perfectly balanced.

Sit it on your lap, take your hands off and it stays right there!

This balance also makes it very comfortable to play while standing for long periods of time.

The trademark body shape of the Driskill Diablo is a new and unique shape which expresses the aggressive look of an awesome playing guitar. The flowing curve of the dominant long horn is visually stunning yet provides balance for the slightly asymmetrical shape to wrap around to the outward turn of the small horn. This gives it attitude and also allows it to hook onto your leg for a more solid feel. The striking arch of the top works in concert with the deep scoops on both horns to provide a visual feast and complete access to the high frets.  The arched maple top is .9 inches thick. This provides a very deep scooped arch and gives the guitar an incredible attack while letting each note ring out without getting lost in the mix. Biting attack with chunky bass and articulated mids. Another advantage of the thick top is that it provides a deep arch without the need for a re-curve. This means that it can have the deep arch without a sharp edge to cut into your playing forearm. When you see this shape, you know that it is the mark of a Driskill Guitar.

My email is  joe@driskillguitars.com but I am the only one at Driskill Guitars.  As such,  I do everything and  I work between 15-18 hours a day seven days a week, so it is much easier to reach me if you give me a call. 817-336-0600. In the USA. I get a great deal of email and it is very difficult to answer. Please give me a call. I am almost always here and would love to talk to you.

I have spent a great deal of time making one piece, solid brass tremolos and solid brass pickup rings which have the exact angle of the strings on them. This angle keeps the pickups perfectly parallel to the strings for optimum tone. The tremolos are awesome! They have a lot of mass to them so that they won't rob any tone. I couldn't find a tremolo that I would put on one of my guitars because I felt that they would inhibit tone. So, I decided to make my own tremolos. They turned out even better than I thought they would! Tons of work but I think that they are worth it. I will have some pictures of these up soon. 

I now have my new  stop tail, wrap around bridge with adjustable saddles! Every part of it is radiused and it has swooping curves all over it. Very cool.  I have some pictures of it up now.
