NGD Diablo Blue JP15 Black Hardware Project

[Sharko]

New to the forum! Just wanted to show you guys my new pride and joy. Thank you so much Pete DuBaldo at DuBaldo Music for the great deal on this guitar and for spec'ing out a killer guitar! And thank you Joel Krause at EBMM for hooking me up with black hardware!

Apologies for the pictures not doing the guitar justice. My photography skills are almost as bad as my guitar playing skills. She looks even better in person!

That looks sharp! The color match between the top and back/sides is about as perfect as you could wish for. Congrats!

Way to go, that looks great - especially with the black hardware complimenting the ebony board!!!!

That’s a beautiful upgrade and a beautiful guitar.

Congrats

A beauty! Did you have to send your original hardware back to MM to get the black?

 

[GWDavis28]

Holy Moly! That's one Hell of a Dream Guitar for sure!
How did you get the Hardware though? I tried getting Black Hardware for my Emerald Green Sparkle JP a few Years ago, and was told i could only get the same Hardware that's already on the Guitar?!

Thanks man! I reached out to EBMM Customer Service and they made it happen. I believe they just recently started allowing customers to swap hardware color. You have to send in your neck plate and bridge plate and then you can purchase the new hardware.

Thanks everybody for all the compliments!! Really happy that you guys like the guitar as well!

Cool..... Neck Plate ?

 

[kingdoublecut]

Neck plate...sounds like they might issue a new serial numbered plate to keep the serial database up to date...?

 

[Sharko]

Cool..... Neck Plate ?

Yep, its the metal plate with the EBMM logo and serial number for your guitar where the neck gets screwed on to the body.
