"High Wire" Performance from a Guitar Legend
Few guitarists have shaped the sound of ‘80s arena-rock guitar the way Jake E. Lee has, and the Jake E. Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas captures the original flair and sonic firepower of Jake’s famous Blue Burst guitar and delivers it straight to your hands. As seen in Jake's work with Ozzy Osbourne, Badlands, and Red Dragon Cartel, this guitar sports an alder body and a reinforced maple neck, built for speed and precision. You also get Jake’s preferred mix of Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio pickups, as well as a Charvel HT6 hardtail bridge and Charvel die-cast tuners. Complete with performance-focused features such as a compound-radius fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 medium-jumbo frets, the Jake E. Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas is a guitar that’s crafted to ignite your passion for high-gain shred and anthemic riffage.

"Rock 'n' Roll Rebel" Vibes
While Jake's White Pearl guitar was the one that saw the most spotlight throughout Ozzy Osbourne's Bark at the Moon tour, it was the Blue Burst from Charvel's Custom Shop that inspired Jake's work on The Ultimate Sin. Wanting to stand out from the crowd of guitar players flaunting custom graphics and flashy colors, he opted for a more refined aesthetic, complete with a gold hardtail bridge and matching output jack plate. To keep things simple, Jake had Charvel remove the Tone control and move the single Volume knob farther from the bridge pickup, preventing inadvertent adjustments during his most intense moments onstage.
Superb playability and stability
The nostalgic factor is cranked to the max with the Jake E. Lee Signature, starting with Charvel’s San Dimas-style alder body and satin-finished maple neck. When combined with the Speed Neck profile and the compound-radius rosewood fingerboard with rolled edges, you get an ultra-luxurious playing experience that Sweetwater’s shredding elite simply do not want to put down. Furthermore, the graphite reinforcement adds rigidity to the instrument's performance capabilities, keeping the neck from warping and twisting, even if you decide to imitate one of Jake’s famous neck dives.
A diverse mix of rock, blues, and beyond
Jake was never one to shy away from breaking tradition. As such, the Jake E. Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas goes beyond the conventional HSS-style guitar. To start, you get two DiMarzio SDS-1 pickups, one in the neck and one in the middle position, each capable of dishing out more power than traditional single-coil pickups. Their reverse-slanted layout allows for a sharper attack on wound strings and additional warmth and punch on plain strings. In the bridge position, you'll find a Seymour Duncan JB Trembucker, beloved in the rock world for its hot-rodded output and overall genre versatility. When paired with the SD-1s and a 5-way pickup switch, you'll have a palette of rock, blues, funk, and even country tones at your command.
