"Standard 3/4" at Diablo guitars $8k

[Jimbilly]

what's the story on this one?  looks really 'low-mileage', but 3 screw truss cover, and the serial is partially covered by the tuners which seems odd

It’s been around the HFC since the ‘90s, most recently with Peter.

Sold that guy a pre-pro Jackson that I'd really love to have back.

Looks like a 4 digit SN.

It's a pretty cool looking Standard.

I wonder how it sounds and plays?

I always loved Matthias Jabs’ 90%-sized Explorer and would love to hear from any 3/4 standard owner on whether they play their mini standard often, or whether it’s more of a “curiosity” guitar that is taken out of its case once or twice a year.

i’ve been culling my guitars over the past few years to keep only those that I play regularly, hence keen to understand how these feel to play.

This one is priced well above where my interest is, but I would stretch like like a Gumby tow-rope for a mini Korina standard, should one be gathering dust out there…
