Diablo and Prototype

[fruhike]

1993 Diablo in teal - $525 shipped.

Very good condition overall. There are no functional issues. I purchased this guitar from another HFC member here off the board. The bridge pickup has been replaced; perhaps someone here knows what’s in it. It is a rare color that was part of a sprint run. If I recall correctly from the board, only about 6-12 were made in this color. No rash or worming on back, only a couple dings on the front body above the trem. Minor fret wear from frets 3-5. Nothing unexpected, given a guitar of this age. Comes with non-original TKL case that is in great shape, aside from a couple scuffs on the outside.

1984 Prototype in candy apple red - $425 shipped.

Good condition overall. There are no functional issues. One screw missing from the low E locking tuner. Not really an issue, given the locking nut. Finish checking (see photos) and some dings over the body. Fret wear up to 12th fret, a small ding in the board at the 15th fret, and some initials (R and C) put on the pickup ring. Comes with original case that is a little beat up, but still functions fine.

Wow-that Proto is nice-and CHEAP! Someone buy some of my garage sale stuff so I can buy this one!! /emoticons/default_biggrin.png

Someone buy both. I would like them to go to good homes here in the HFC. Thanks for the interest, Steve.

That proto looks nice. I have one just like it and it can get an amazing amount of tones.

That Proto was dangerously tempting. But I'm in a trem free mode as of late. Someone should snatch that up.

Thanks guys. The grain on the diablo is really nice with this color. My photo skills really don't do it justice.

Jeeze, great deals

so the neck on that proto? shredder thin?

 

[fruhike]

No. More like my Artists, but not as beefy. Also it tends to flatten a little from the 12th fret up. Never really noticed that before. My Scepter does this as well, but the Prototype neck is beefier than the Scepter and the Diablo listed with it.
