Question

Posted

Will a Cali neck heel fit in the neck pocket of a Diablo? :ph34r: Obviously, the fret board would have to be modded to fit.

Ouch. No one has anything? Or maybe I'm asking immoral or blasphemous questions... :blink:

If it did, you would have a better sounding Cali. lol

I never figured out the logic of having maple or mahogany as the body wood of "premium" shredders while the more tonally useful woods such as ash or alder were left for the "budget" shredders.

This /\

As expressed in other threads, alder/maple/rosewood is my fave tonal combination. This is why the Diablo is so appealing. But I do prefer the aesthetics of a Cali headstock and board (BOOMERS!). Ergo, put a boomer equipped neck w/ a Cali head on an alder bodied Diablo. Win win. But can it be done?

Sounds like a trip to Dr. Jay's laboratory is in order. ;)

Next step? Finding a boomered, 24 fret, hockey stick head neck... be even better if it was a rosewood, boomered, 24 fret, reversed head stock-ed neck... just sayin'

The rosewood part is gonna make it a bit tough to find...

You shoulda just bought that boomered diablo Peter sold a while back.

Love the Rising Sun graphic! Did you paint that? That'd go nicely with this:

Yeah, it's not brilliant but good enough from 5 feet away.
