diablo175 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Will a Cali neck heel fit in the neck pocket of a Diablo? Obviously, the fret board would have to be modded to fit.
diablo175 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 Ouch. No one has anything? Or maybe I'm asking immoral or blasphemous questions...
murkat Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I just do not know en result no reply of... See, I do not know everything!
zenmindbeginner Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 If it did, you would have a better sounding Cali. lolI 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 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?
diablo175 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 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'
cmatthes Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 The rosewood part is gonna make it a bit tough to find...
diablo175 Posted December 20, 2012 Author Posted December 20, 2012 The rosewood part is gonna make it a bit tough to find... Ayup. I'd settle for ebony if I had to...
Jason01 Posted December 22, 2012 Posted December 22, 2012 You shoulda just bought that boomered diablo Peter sold a while back.
diablo175 Posted December 24, 2012 Author Posted December 24, 2012 You shoulda just bought that boomered diablo Peter sold a while back.D'oh!
zenmindbeginner Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 How hard could it be to carve boomer inlays into a chap neck? It's gotta be do-able.
cmatthes Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 Nothing a bottle of tequila and an X-acto knife couldn't handle...
diablo175 Posted December 26, 2012 Author Posted December 26, 2012 err... umm, no. Nothing a bottle of tequila and an X-acto knife couldn't handle...
Jem Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Here's one i prepared earlier (2003'ish), 92 Diablo neck on a 88 Cali body:
diablo175 Posted December 28, 2012 Author Posted December 28, 2012 Here's one i prepared earlier (2003'ish), 92 Diablo neck on a 88 Cali body: Love the Rising Sun graphic! Did you paint that? That'd go nicely with this:
Jem Posted December 28, 2012 Posted December 28, 2012 Yeah, it's not brilliant but good enough from 5 feet away.
