diamond_guitar

Diamond Guitars' Halcyon ZB models come in two colors and two configurations. The Halcyon ZB-FR Black Moonrise model is a flamed maple over a maple body with a maple set neck and ebony fingerboard. The Halcyon ZB-FR Kona Brown model features a flame maple over a mahogany body and a mahogany set neck also with an ebony fingerboard.

Both models have 24 frets, a 25.5-inch scale, a Floyd Rose bridge, Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient pickups and striking custom inlays. Spanning the first to third frets is a Tibetan Flame encompassing a Double Dorje that matches the tattoo on Zoltan Barthory’s forearms.
