Project Diablo Super Strat

Super Diablo
The black blooded super strat from Hades.



Soft maple bodied SuperStrat for customer. I was going to use poplar on this one but after going through every guitar in my collection we decided on a little more clarity and ring. Hopefully we will get that from the maple. This body is based on a cross between an RG and a Blackmachine. 8/4 Soft Maple. The 5 piece neck is maple/bloodwood with a bloodwood fretboard. Regular tenon ending in the neck pickup

Fingerboard


Neck Blank gueing




Body Blank glued up.



Fingerboard and neck blank after unclamping and sanding. I can already see that the bloodwood is going to bleed into the maple when sanding. Going to have to use a scraper a lot on this neck.
