Streamlined San Dimas Crafted by Charvel’s Master Builders

Built by Charvel’s talented master crafstmen, the Charvel Custom Shop SD 1H FR is a stripped-down San Dimas Style 1 guitar that’s pure rock ’n’ roll. With its sumptuous styling, deluxe hardware package — including a Floyd Rose Tremolo and Schaller Tuners, and Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker — the Custom Shop SD 1H is a showpiece axe that begs to be played. Guitarists at Sweetwater are big fans of Charvel Custom Shop guitars due to their unique designs and impeccable build quality, and the Custom Shop SD 1H FR delivers on both fronts. Sleek, chic, and brimming with tone, the Custom Shop SD 1H FR is a six-stringer slinger’s dream guitar.

Crisp Charvel Styling

Charvel puts its stamp on the Custom Shop SD 1H FR’s S-style alder body, with comfortable contouring and an eyecatching candy apple red finish. Decked out in black hardware, including Schaller tuners and a black dome knob, the Custom Shop SD 1H makes a bold statement. Are you a dive bomber? Then the Custom Shop SD 1H FR has got you covered, featuring an authentic Floyd Rose tremolo bridge you can safely crank on without pulling the guitar out tune. From top to bottom, the Custom Shop SD 1H FR is a premium instrument that could only come from the hands of Charvel’s Custom Shop master builders.

Killer Tone Kept Simple

Usually guitarists prefer plenty of options when it comes to shaping their tone, but sometimes you just want to plug in, turn up, and play! The Custom Shop SD 1H FR is a single-knob tone machine, with only a volume control between its Seymour Duncan TB-4 JB Trembucker pickup and your guitar amp. The TB-4 boasts high output while retaining detail and nuance, with ample harmonics, sustain, and crunch. It’s a heavy hitter that’s game for any style, whether you’re playing classic rock, electric blues, or heavy metal. Or roll back the volume knob, and it produces a smooth clean tone, with the perfect dash of snap and twang.

Charvel Custom Shop Master Built

The master luthiers at Charvel’s Custom Shop take a maverick approach to guitar making. For over four decades, they have been turning the guitar world on its ear with functional and aesthetic design innovations. Adhering to the Charvel Custom Shop motto: “You dream It. We can build,” this dedicated team of talented craftsmen stops at nothing to create the finest possible instruments — selecting the most attractive and toneful lumber, curating stellar hardware and electronics packages, and finishing every guitar with a level of attention guaranteed to deliver maximum playability and visual appeal.
