A Workhorse Guitar, Straight from the Sunset Strip
Descended from a lineage of ‘80s-era California shredders, the Charvel Standard Series San Dimas 2 SD2 HH HT melds the classic T-style body design with modern, performance-grade appointments. Starting with a highly resonant nyatoh body, this no-nonsense, hot-rodded guitar comes ready to rock with its high-octane Charvel Custom humbucking pickups, 3-way pickup toggle switch, and single volume control. Built for comfort and unencumbered playability, the San Dimas 2 SD2 HH HT features a 25.1-inch scale length, ultra-thin Speed neck, and a 12–16-inch compound-radius amaranth fingerboard with rolled edges for slick, effortless playability. Moreover, you get upgraded performance stability, courtesy of a fixed hardtail bridge, Charvel locking tuners, and a spoke-wheel truss rod at the fingerboard end for quick neck relief adjustments. With thrashing sonics, seamless fleet-fingered fret action, and that unmistakable San Dimas vibe, the San Dimas 2 SD2 HH HT is a workhorse guitar that punches well above its weight.

Speedy and comfortable neck
When it comes to pliable playability, this Standard Series San Dimas Style 2 is hard to beat. Its 12-inch fingerboard radius at the nut progresses to a flatter 16 inches down the neck, offering you a primmed platform for ergonomically-inclined chord work and optimized technical playing across all 22 jumbo frets. When the compound-radius amaranth fingerboard is combined with rolled fingerboard edges, a slightly shorter-than-standard 25.1-inch scale length, and Charvel's Speed neck profile, you're ensured a smooth and nimble playing experience optimized for rich sustain, expressive string bends, and fatigue-free fretting.
