DeMartini's Signature Sound and Style

Ratt's most esteemed guitarist may have retro taste when it comes to the custom snakeskin finish on this Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod solidbody electric guitar, but when he takes an axe on the road, he grabs a high-tech model that can deliver the performance he needs, show after show. You'll get these same custom tweaks in this Pro Mod series Dinky, including an accessible truss rod wheel at the base of the neck, jaw-dropping Seymour Duncan tone, and a quartersawn maple neck that's a pure joy to play. Keep reading to find out all about the Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod Dinky.

Get ready to RATT and roll with custom Seymour Duncan pickup tone

If you dig tight and clear rhythms the way Sweetwater guitarists do, and you bask in rich and blooming leads that seem to sustain for days, then the Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod is the kind of electric guitar that you'll get a real kick out of. Like many discerning guitarists, Warren DeMartini knows exactly what he wants out of his axe, which is why he worked closely with Seymour Duncan to produce a custom humbucker to deliver an extremely satisfying bridge tone. Rounding that out in the neck position is a classic Duncan Quarter Pound Strat single-coil pickup.

Pro Mod touches include DeMartini's favorite performance tweaks

Charvel's Pro Mod series began as a way to provide custom shop favorite mods at a more affordable price point, and this Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod is a perfect example. In addition to the cool snakeskin graphic finish inspired by one of Warren DeMartini's 1980s guitars, this guitar includes Charvel's handy truss rod mod, which makes it a reliable, road-ready guitar you can easily tune up. Similarly, the Floyd Rose FRT-O1000 double-locking tremolo bridge lets you wail away like a rockstar, without worrying about slipping out of tune.

Quartersawn neck and compound-radius fretboard play like a dream

The Charvel Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod features a 1-piece quartersawn maple neck. Usually only found on higher-end guitars, quartersawn necks provide extra strength and stability. Besides looking good, the straight grain of quartersawn necks is about 50% more stable than plain-sawn necks and less likely to warp, twist, or shrink. Whether you play smooth rhythms or furious leads, you'll love the feel of the Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod's compound-radius fretboard. With a 12" radius at the nut, flattening to 16" at the 12th fret, you've got the just-right feel you need to grab chords in the lower positions, while the flatter upper registers allow blazing fast fretwork.

Charvel Warren DeMartini Signature Snake Pro Mod Electric Guitar Features:

  • An Pro Mod series version of Ratt guitarist Warren DeMartini's custom guitar
  • Decked out with signature DeMartini touches, including a cool snakeskin graphic
  • Seymour Duncan pickup combination delivers signature DeMartini tone
  • 1-piece quartersawn maple neck offers amazing sustain and stability

  • Truss rod mod makes it easy to adjust your action on the road
  • Floyd Rose FRT-O1000 double-locking tremolo bridge lets you bend with total confidence

You know you REALLY want to "Lay It Down"

First off, a shoutout to my Sales Engineer, Nate Brown for making this guitar into a TOTAL BEAST! Ratt was the first metal concert I went to some 35 years ago. As such, Warren DeMartini was one of my guitar heroes. I had mine Pelk'd and it was definitely worth it. The photos on Sweetwater do not do this guitar justice, and it plays even better than it looks. The compound radius neck makes playing chord easy, while allowing for blistering leads. The Seymour Duncan pickups scream when overdrive is kicked in yet produces excellent clean tones as well. I cannot put this guitar down! In short, I'm a satisfied owner and a Sweetwater customer for life!

Dqmn nice guitar

Kinda bought this one on a whim just because. It stacks up with my evh and esp if not better than them.
What I do what to say is that there was a small issue with the neck. I didn't think much of it but tech service and CJ went above and beyond to take care of me. The whole experience went from oh crap to not having to worry about it at all. Kinda earned my loyalty with that

Snake in the case!

So far this guitar is Amazing and must be seen in person to truly see how killer the Snake finish is, also I highly recommend buying a case to have it Shipped in, If you ask Sweetwater will put it in the case and have guitar arrive ready to play straight out of the case, here's a video of how my arrived and I put DTuna on mine not sure if Sweetwater will do that for you! Case I got is Amazing
Rated 5/5

Wicked Smooth

I picked up this beast recently and couldn't be more pleased with it. The neck is effortless and baby smooth. The pickups are great and ready to scream on command. This is guitar #13 for me and is easily my new "go to" axe when it's time to crank out some classic 80s metal!
Rated 5/5

Lay it down with the Demartini Charvel-dream come true!

Growing up an official 80s teenager, Ratt and Warren DeMartini were my favorite hard rock band. Been playing rock guitar for 35 years myself. After buying the rocket red Charvel So Cal from Sweetwater in May of 2018, I finally decided to go all out and by the DEMO DeMartini the week of Halloween. My sales engineer Chris Kress continues to provide me with the finest online customer service & prices. Chuck Surack has been informed of his most excellent employee there! The neck of the guitar is smooth and gorgeous with it's speckled wood grain. The matte paint finish is great-don't have to worry about keeping a glossy shine there. We all wish it had a pur steel Floyd Rose (which it should for $1400) but it stays in tune just fine. Best of all of course is the heart & soul of the guitar with it's Seymour Duncan pickups. The quarter pounder by the neck is all you'd expect it to be for that "Nobody Rides For Free" tone ala Neal Schon "Lights" tone. But the icing on this cake is the RTM DeMartini bridge pickup-really nails the tone I just love in rock guitar. I'm from the Chicago area like Warren and hope to meet him someday - Love it!!!
