Balaguer Diablo Retro 27 Fret Hardtail Cerulean Blue

80s Shred Machine with Modern Playability

The Balaguer Diablo Retro 27 Fret is an '80s throwback monster, with modern features and shreddability. An Alder body looks killer finished in Cerulean Blue with black hardware, and makes the perfect tonal foundation for a pair of super-hot Hypernova/Nova pickups.

The Hypernova humbucker in the bridge features a ceramic magnet for aggressive articulation, tight bass, and instantaneous attack. Being super hot at 17.2k Ohms, it's obviously perfect for chugging brutal riffs, and shredding speedy licks - this super high output also means that they split extremely well. Just engage the coil-splitting on the push-pull tone knob for incredibly articulate, chimey cleans too! The Nova Alnico neck single-coil is no slouch either when it comes output. Weighing in at 7.4k Ohms, its robust Alnico magnet sounds perfectly at home when paired with the Hypernova.

A super shreddable Roasted Maple neck with 16" radius Roasted Maple fingerboard and 27 medium jumbo stainless steel frets are perfect for endless shredding, while premium features like Balaguer locking tuners and a hipshot hardtail bridge ensure solid tuning stability.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Balaguer Diablo Retro 27 Fret Hardtail Cerulean Blue, is an excellent choice for your next (or first) shredder; brutal pickups, killer looks, and a hipshot for solid tuning stability!
