DBraz Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Wow. That is a lot of guitar for the money if it has no problems.
LucSulla Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Email back in regard to its condition: It's pretty clean all the way around. No headstock repairs to report. Below average fretwear. Great playing guitar! Thanks for your interest Phi So, so tempting.
cynic Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 If you have any feeling whatsoever that you'll be getting the hair metal gig, this is a no brainer.At $399, you're paying back-up money for a guitar that will challenge your #1 in terms of quality, playability, and sound.
Never2Late Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Somewhere, Brentrocks posted a few youtube videos of my Diablo when I sold him mine - I had SD Custom Custom and a Pearly Gates pickup installed, if I recall.....of course, Brent made that guitar WAIL and I regretted selling it since....
LucSulla Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Well, done. Two weeks from now, expect to see several more things for sale around here, lol. Pretty much anything not currently helping make money is going out the door.
Feynman Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Smart man. A Diablo will make you question ever spending more on another superstrat.
LucSulla Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Lol, then they will go too! I'm finding that the only stuff I truly will not part with are instruments that:A. I really enjoy playing and do so often (turns out, I take no joy in collecting unless I also play them).B. Would be difficult to replace should I have seller's remorse. With my luck though, Hamer prices will skyrocket in the next two years. They already seem to be ticking up.
Never2Late Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 For the money, I'd have a new backplate fabricated, fill-in the wood, and put some GREAT pickups into this rocker and you're set!
velorush Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 For that money, I could live with that! Well, done. Two weeks from now, expect to see several more things for sale around here, lol. Pretty much anything not currently helping make money is going out the door. If that's the new rule then, FS: every guitar-related thing I own!
geoff_hartwell Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Tried the link, Gone? That was a great deal! Who nabbed it?
LucSulla Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 He came off the price equal to what of a new backplate would cost and made sure that was the worst of the cosmetic damage. I figure if I'm going to be gigging with the damn thing, a couple of old dings will just make the new dings less painful. And hey, people pay good money for dings these days!
Jakeboy Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 Lots of Strat players prefer to remove the trem cavity cover anyway.....
LucSulla Posted January 13, 2015 Posted January 13, 2015 As do I, but I do like to have it just for the sake of having it... Plus if it helps take a few bucks off.
Spike Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 For the money, I'd have a new backplate fabricated, fill-in the wood, and put some GREAT pickups into this rocker and you're set!Skip the fill-in-the-wood part and play it as it is, battle scars and all.I remember seeing the 'mats many years ago where Tommy was rocking a bass that had his guitar cord coming out of a HUGE ball of duct tape where a very, very large chunk of wood had once been. It just doesn't get better than that.LucSulla, congrats on the new guitar! Great score!
Bobby Marshall Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Find a nice German made floyd rose. May need a German nut too but I couldn't see that. Someone took off the good hardware I suspect.

Pretty much anything not currently helping make money is going out the door. If that's the new rule then, FS: every guitar-related thing I own! Ah, I took LucSulla's post at face value, assuming that he was looking at getting rid of things like roommates, small children, unemployed relatives staying in his basement, etc.. Anything not helping make money was out the door. At least, that's how it worked in my family. If he meant guitar-related stuff that's not helping make money, well, that's different. I'd definitely need to purge all of my guitars and relate equipment if that's the case. Given a choice, I think I'll keep the latter and purge the things that I referred to under my previous assumption.
