Frequently Asked Questions
The El Diablo is generally hotter and darker than the JB, with a more emphasized low-midrange and a tighter feel. The JB has more versatility across a broader range of styles.
Yes, it will, but be prepared for a significant output increase; it might require some volume knob adjustments to tame the high gain. It will definitely add a modern edge to a classic platform.
While designed for larger coil spaces, the frame is generally manageable; however, some guitars with exceptionally tight routing might require minor modifications to ensure a flush fit.
