Guest JackButler Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Most Diablo I's came with Duncans. A JB in the bridge and a '59 in the neck. I'm not a big fan of the JB..with the EXCEPTION of the one in my Diablo. I think its a combination of the JB and the alder body. I've played a few other alder bodied guits made by other manufacturers that come with JB's and it seems to definitely be the combo of the two.I have seen a few Diablo's that had DiMarzio pup's in there.BTW the JB in the Diablo is the "trembucker" or F-spaced version.

Travis Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 The Diablo I got from Jack (and sold back to him) had a pair of JBs in it. I just didn't care for the tone so I swapped them with a pair of Distortions. That thing became a beast of mythcal proportions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCM78 Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Mine has two JB's in it.Just pull them out and look at the back plate. There should a sticker with the name of the pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Lee Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 My lefty Diablo came with the JB/'59 combo wired out of phase.Later Diablo's came with DiMarzio's - Tone Zone & Air Norton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamer95USA Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Hello Diablo owners, I saw this posting and wanted to contribute my information about this guitar. I own a 1994 Hamer USA Diablo II guitar. My pickup configuration on this guitar is humbucker, single coil, humbucker. My guitar has Dimarzio guitar pickups in it. I have a Air Norton (neck), an HS-2 (middle) and a Tone Zone (bridge). This guitar is currently my #1 axe along with my 1990 Chapparal Elite 90 guitar. Whatever pickups you choose depends on your playing style and personal tastes. I have to agree with the guys on the board that the '59/JB combo is the default pickups for the Diablo, but I know that models of later years have Dimarzio guitar pickups installed.
