Gibson Diablo
The new SG Diablo-Gibson's USAs first guitar of the month 2008, captures the essence of the classic design, and takes it one step further, like the SG standard in 1961, the SG Diablo set's a precedent for style, function and design, the top and back of the Diablo's mahogany body is carved to accent the contour of the SGs distinctive lines, giving the guitar a three dimensional apperance from afar, the Diablo's controls have been streamlined to one volume and one tone, in addition to the standard three-way switch, The volume control has also been moved closer to the bridge pick-up for easy access and volume swells, Gibson's BurstBucker pickups-a No1 in the neck, and a number 2 in the bridge-give theSG Diablo the subtle variations of true, vintage humbucker tone with historically "unmatched" bobbin windings and Alnico 11 magnets, just like the original PAFs in the Gibsons of the late 50s early 60s, The new SG Diablo alsp takes the SG's 24 3/4-inch scale length mahogany neck and adds two additional fret's-for total of 24-allowing an even higher register of notes from a guitar already known for its searing lead-playing capacity, Gibson's traditional round neck profile and rosewood fingerboard enhances the guitar's resonance and sustain, and secures its reputation as the fastest guitar neck in the world, it is available only in a Red Metallic Finish, with matching headstock, Like all "Guitars of The Month", production is limited to just a 1,000 guitars.
