Diamondback size relative to an SG?

[desertrider13]

I'm thinking of doing a Diamondback body. I understand it's got an offset similar to an LTD Viper rather than an SG shape. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how large it is though? On Youtube it looks really large compared to the SG body. Only a few videos of them too. Thanks.

Here’s a Diamondback with a 61 RI SG.

Is a Diamondback thicker than an SG?

Yep, similar size...but thicker. That's what is making it look larger.

The body is thicker for max compatibility with all the usual Warmoth options: Fender heel specs, Floyd Rose and other tremolos, etc., some of which you couldn't do with a normal SG.
