I took this photo of the DBZ Diamond Hellfire earlier this year at The NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.

Premier Guitar just posted an awesome review – including sound samples.

The new model is a cool twist on the Firebird/RD Artist template and though it might not be as radical looking as other DBZs, it packs a lot of bold style and authoritative tone in a relatively affordable axe.

The series includes two models—the solid-mahogany Hailfire ST and the Hailfire SM, which features though-body stringing, upgraded pickups, spalted maple top and flashier finishes.

The Hailfire’s debt to the Firebird is obvious both in its body profile and the raised center section. The construction, however, is very different from a Firebird.

Instead of a multi-ply walnut neck-through design, the Hailfire SM is built with a relatively light mahogany body that’s capped with a dramatically carved and striking spalted-maple top.
