The Diamond website is back up an running! Woo-hoo! Diamond has reintroduced their guitars with new specs and a new manufacturing location. However, many of the guitars say "out of stock."
While Diamond is remanufacturing certain instruments in another country, the specs of this guitar are no longer available. So, this is now an out-of-production instrument that will become increasing difficult to find.
The last photo of this listing shows the latest Diamond retail price ($950) for the Monarch before it went out of production. Depending on where you purchase from, cases range from $150 to $250. The new Monarch retail price on the current Diamond website is $999.99.
Review photos carefully as returns will not be accepted. Note that some photos are without the flash so you can see the guitar in darker light. It is not as purple as the flash makes it seem.
ABOUT
Simple. Very traditional design and shape, but with modern contours and features, the MONARCH has elegance, flash and the sound. The MONARCH has what it takes for every situation in the distinctive double cut-away styling. The MONARCH has a mix of dynamic colors, all the elegant adornments, and a custom selection of pickups taking the "custom shop" product to a new, but more affordable level. How do you say traditional, classy, unique and style at the same time? The MONARCH.
A staple of the Diamond line, the Flame Top is among the most popular woods for a guitar. Cream binding, rich colors, Seymour Duncan pickups and everything you need on a guitar, with the signature mahogany/maple tone combination.
