Balaguer just came out with a couple of new models, including this one, the Diablo. They are available in the builder and dayummm it's awesome they have made a modern S style. I can see myself ordering one for sure, the Tartarus and Thicket I have are really great guitars for the price point.

With that headstock too - this is probably one of the nicest and sleekest S shaped modern guitars we have seen to date.

i mean, DAMN!
Stealth looks stunning on these shapes

Looking good.
Plus the standard ones do have stainless steel frets, unlike something like the archetype.
Do we know where those standard ones are made?

That looks sick.

The site mentions the standard series are made in Indonesia

Glad to see some more ET models, hopefully this does well enough to get some more interesting colors because the price is pretty good.

Whoa, that looks sick!

Looks nice, but I'm really baffled by the lack of neck construction type info...

It's like a slightly more athletic Washburn WM I like it ( because I love the WM )

Well they got all them other zany shapes before hand, I think they did this just to have all their bases covered, or break into the "boring metalhead superstrat" market

They already have 2 other superstrat options though. This is just a toro but slightly pointier

Yeah absolutely this, they have been asked about a more modern S type quite a bit and tbh that's something I was wanting but didn't think with the rest of the more kinda classic models it was something they would make (but I suppose Tartarus ain't exactly old school). I'm super stoked they have done this. It ain't like they got rid of the cool takes on the classics like Thicket and Espade etc so I don't see any issue.

 

[sleewell]

hot!!

 

[Masoo2]

Wow that's their nicest S-type body to date

 

[MrBouleDeBowling]

Reminds me of an old Washburn model which I can't remember the name of.

Anyway, looks really cool!

Ok, I need to check pricing on this...but I already know our VAT will weigh a lot
