atquinn Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 It's possible my memory is failing, but I don't believe I've ever seen a blue Diablo. There's gotta be some out there though. Anyone got pics?-Austin
ET_KenW Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Now that you mentioned it, I'd be interested in this too. I played around with a trans green Diablo at a Music-Go-Round a while back and surprised by how lightweight it was.
MCChris Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 ^ LOLRest assured, if such an animal exists, the Scary family has owned it.
holLoWskull Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 there was the trans blue burst "Centdiablo" that I believe Admiral B had and sold to Jeff R if memory serves me correct. I don't have any pix of it, but maybe one of it's previous owners does? That was a little bit of both guitars IIRC, neck & fretboard of a diablo, body of a centaura 2 humbucker...real sharp.

Steve Haynie Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 A friend custom ordered a translucent blue satin finish Chaparral in the mid 90's. If Hamer could do that, there is the possibility of a blue Diablo.
SteveB Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I had a Teal colored diablo once. I can't seem to locate pic's of it though.
AdmiralB Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 I've never seen one, but I've seen (hell, *owned*) damn near every other trans color on Diablos...yellow, orange, salmon blush, red, green, purple, natural, blonde...so I'm fairly sure there must have been blue ones at some point.
Jeff R Posted January 18, 2008 Posted January 18, 2008 there was the trans blue burst "Centdiablo" that I believe Admiral B had and sold to Jeff R if memory serves me correct.

atquinn Posted January 19, 2008 Author Posted January 19, 2008 My memory was failing me! Found this in my big folder o' guitar pics: Only one I can recall seeing. Looks nice; they should've made more. -Austin

Looks nice; they should've made more. -Austin Thats the pic I was looking for! In real life it had just a bit more green in it. Thats my old Diablo, Virt, and Cali Deluxe. Should not have gotten rid of the Cali, that was a kick ass guitar. I think I might know where it is though, might have to chase it down and see if they want to get rid of it.

That was a little bit of both guitars IIRC, neck & fretboard of a diablo, body of a centaura 2 humbucker...real sharp.I had one of those--a trans blue 2-HB Centaura that we gave to my wife's son as a birthday present. I was new to Hamers and thought it was a Diablo at the time, but both pickups were slanted and the fretboard has offset dots, so that makes it a Centaura.Helluva a guitar for $317 w/original case (yes, it was a USA--got it off eBay in 2001)! I wish I coulda kept it.

You have good composition skills, that's an awesome pic! Sorry I couldn't credit you for it when I posted it. -Austin
