A Winning Hard Rock Formula

The formula for Charvel's Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS 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 Speed neck and a silky-smooth compound-radius maple fingerboard with rolled edges and jumbo-sized 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. Red-hot Seymour Duncan pickups in a versatile HSS configuration complete the setup, turning this guitar into a musical 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 HSS FR M is a serious guitar for serious guitarists.

Built for muscular, no-compromise rock

From the first time you lay eyes on the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M, you'll get it: this axe screams muscular, no-compromise rock 'n' roll. Like all guitars built from alder, this solidbody electric produces a balanced acoustic tone, with equal helpings of lows, mids, and highs that maximize the sound of your pickups. Its bolt-on Speed neck features an easy-playing hand-rubbed urethane finish, while its lightning-fast compound-radius fingerboard boasts rolled edges and 24 jumbo-sized frets. The Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M sports a classic Strat-style headstock.

A killer pickup combination for killer tones

For most players, tone is everything, especially when buying a stock guitar. That's why Charvel loaded this axe with Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 and SSL-6 pickups in a sonically versatile HSS configuration. The single-coil neck pickup boasts an RWRP design for hum-canceling performance. For extra tonal variation, the humbucking bridge pickup is equipped with coil-splitting abilities, unleashing everything from glassy chime to hot-rodded crunch to blistering leads. The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M is a sleek musical machine, and it's waiting for you right here at Sweetwater.

Twisting, bending, and dive-bombing

Adventurous guitarists who want to unlock their full potential need an instrument that can accommodate the full gamut of playing techniques but with steadfast reliability. That's why the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M includes a recessed Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo. Thanks to the Floyd Rose, you can dive-bomb, shriek, squeak, and flutter all you want, and you'll experience rock-solid response and tuning stability. Whether you use or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M out of tune.
