High-performance Tone and Playability
The formula for Charvel's Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR M is simple. Hot-rodded for full-throttle performance, this superb solidbody electric guitar rocks a curvaceous alder body with comfortable contours that will feel instantly familiar; it's outfitted with premium appointments such as a maple neck with graphite reinforcement and a silky-smooth compound-radius maple fingerboard with jumbo frets. For ultra-stable pitch expression, this San Dimas features a Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo that lets you flutter, warble, and dive-bomb with impunity. Two hot Seymour Duncan humbuckers with coil splits complete the setup, turning this guitar into a music flamethrower with amazing playability and an enormous tone arsenal that deploys everything from chimey cleans to blistering high gain. Suitable for any music genre, the Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR M is a serious guitar for serious guitarists.
Take-no-prisoners tone from Seymour Duncan humbuckers
You play the notes; Seymour Duncan humbuckers take it from there. The Seymour Duncan Full Shred SH-10B in the bridge position more than lives up to its name, with a tight, scooped sound that remains articulate even when playing lightning-fast high-gain runs. A vintage-voiced Alnico II Pro in the neck position delivers a wealth of classic rock and blues rhythm tones — a favorite pickup of legendary guitarist Slash for over a quarter of a century!
A palette of single-coil tones on tap
On the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR M, you mix a potent sonic elixir of dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers through a 3-way blade switch and a volume pot with push-pull coil splitting, which puts a range of spanky single-coil tones into play. The no-load tone control functions like a standard tone pot from positions one through nine and, for sonic transparency, removes itself from the circuit at position 10, letting the full natural voice of the instrument shine through. The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR M serves up tone by the truckload. If your music has an aggressive edge to it, you'll want in on this.
