The San Dimas You've Been Waiting for!

Grab a Charvel San Dimas Custom Shop solidbody electric guitar and prepare to rock. Once you plug this classic-rock-ready axe into your favorite amp, you're going to be totally blown away. From the sound of its dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers resonating with its maple-topped mahogany body, to the feel of its fast neck and compound radius fingerboard, there's nothing else quite like this San Dimas Custom Shop guitar. Add to that the amazing action of a Gotoh Wilkinson VS100 tremolo bridge, are you're going to wonder how you even got by with a Charvel San Dimas Custom Shop guitar from Sweetwater.

Charvel San Dimas Custom Shop Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Killer combination of Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver time-tested rock tone
  • Gotoh Wilkinson VS100 tremolo bridge gives you serious bends and tuning stability
  • This beautiful-looking and excellent-sounding axe was made in the USA

Killer combination of Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver time-tested rock tone
You'll rarely come across a more broadly liked combination of pickups than the duo loaded into this San Dimas Custom Shop guitar. In fact, at Sweetwater, sticking a Seymour Duncan Jeff Beck model at the bridge and one of their Jazz humbuckers at the neck is a pretty popular mod. Why? Because these pickups come together to give you a wide range of amazing tone. When you rock a Charvel San Dimas Custom Shop guitar, you'll get the toothy grit you need for riffing plus the fat and smooth lead tones you love.

Gotoh Wilkinson VS100 tremolo bridge gives you serious bends and tuning stability
Engineered to give serious guitar players like you both the action and the stability you need, the Gotoh Wilkinson VS100 bridge Charvel loaded on this San Dimas Custom Shop guitar plays like no other tremolo you've experienced. First and foremost, Wilkinson bridges stay in tune, holding up to the abuse any hard rocking guitarist dishes out. If you like to tweak your action, then you'll also love how easy it is to adjust the Wilkinson VS100's trem arm, and its stainless steel saddles and studs are easily among the most reliable hardware you'll ever come by.

This beautiful-looking and excellent-sounding axe was made in the USA
Maple-topped mahogany has to be one of the most popular combinations of tonewoods for rock guitars, but it's far from standard issue at Charvel. So when Charvel decided to design this San Dimas Custom Shop guitar to give you a classic rock sound, which included a maple topped mahogany body, they went all the way. Just take a good look at that quilt maple top, and you'll know what we mean. Add to that a great-feeling neck and an ultra-fast compound radius fingerboard, and there's no doubt that this US made axe is in a class of its own.

Charvel San Dimas Custom Shop Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • An amazing axe that gives you hot-rodded Fender style, Charvel feel, and classic-rock-style humbucker tone
