Guest mrrays Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 I'm planning to change my pickups..and I don't know the default pickups of Hamer guitar.My guitar is Diablo.If default pickups are better than what I'm planning to buy..then I have to replan it..Please let me know...Thank you..
Guest JackButler Posted March 13, 2005 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 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.
RCM78 Posted March 13, 2005 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.
shred dog Posted March 13, 2005 Posted March 13, 2005 i think jack is right the JB with the adler is a sweet combo . the JB is some other woods is a little bright
Guest Mike Lee Posted March 13, 2005 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.
Hamer95USA Posted March 13, 2005 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. Guitar George
