The Stable Series Dark Horse brings Nuno Bettencourt’s signature design, tone, and playability to a USA-made production platform built for consistency, reliability, and real-world performance. Crafted in the United States, it delivers the feel and attitude of the Dark Horse in a refined, road-ready instrument for modern players.

Professional-Grade Attitude

A select alder body provides balanced response and punchy mids, topped with bold wenge for added focus, clarity, and visual depth. Inlaid maple and ebony racing stripes and the signature Extended Cutaway complete the look while ensuring comfort and full access across the neck. The hard maple neck is shaped to Nuno’s exact specifications for a fast, familiar feel, paired with an ebony fretboard and minimalist dot inlays for snap, stability, and precision.

Uncompromising Performance

Tone comes from a custom-voiced Nuno Guitars humbucker in the bridge for tight lows, focused mids, and articulate highs, matched with a Seymour Duncan ’59 humbucker in the neck for warmth, depth, and smooth sustain. A single volume control and three-way selector keep the layout intuitive and performance focused. A Floyd Rose locking tremolo delivers dependable tuning stability and expressive freedom.

From its wenge-topped aesthetic to its USA-built construction, the Dark Horse Stable Series is a professional-grade instrument designed for the stage, studio, and road—blending craftsmanship, consistency, and unmistakable attitude.
