Hot-rodded Performance, Tone, and Playability

The formula for Charvel's Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR PF isn't rocket science — it's quite simple, really. To put it plainly: this solidbody electric guitar is hot-rodded for full-throttle performance; its curvaceous alder body will feel instantly familiar; and its premium appointments, such as a graphite-reinforced maple neck and a silky-smooth compound-radius pau ferro fingerboard, will take your playing to its highest level. For ultra-stable pitch pyrotechnics, this San Dimas features a Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo. Two red-hot Seymour Duncan humbuckers complete the setup, turning this guitar into a sonic flamethrower with amazing playability and an enormous tonal arsenal. The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR PF is polished off with a classic Strat-style headstock, aggressive-looking black hardware, and a spotlight-stealing relic'd finish.

Crafted for speed, tone, and comfort

The way vintage Charvels beg your hands to fly up and down the fretboard has made them legendary instruments around the world. The USA Select San Dimas Style 2 HH FR features many of those exact same specifications for your playing enjoyment. Its alder body is carved with '80s-style perimeters for your comfort. What's more, its fast-playing, graphite-reinforced maple neck is unbelievably stable under stressful environmental changes, and its compound-radius pau ferro fingerboard flattens from 12 inches to 16 inches for effortless chording and clear, wide bends.

Take-no-prisoners tone

You play the notes; Seymour Duncan humbuckers take it from there. A '59 SH-1N humbucker is located in the neck position of this axe, while a JB TB-4 is positioned at the bridge. The '59 has a full low end, slightly scooped mids, and gently boosted highs; it preserves the clarity of the individual notes in a chord, making it ideal for rhythm work as well as jazz and blues soloing. Duncan's most popular pickup, the JB, is an ideal bridge pickup for blues, fusion, country, hard rock, thrash, punk, and grunge. The low end is full and beefy, and the highs are crisp and detailed. An upper-midrange bump adds chunk and crunch to heavy chords, which translates to a singing, vocal-like character when you solo — all while the hotter output pushes your amp just a bit harder for increased sustain and harmonics.

Built for dive-bombs and squealies

When the desire for extreme whammy abuse overtakes you, the Pro-Mod Relic San Dimas Style 1 HH FR PF's Floyd Rose 1000 double-locking tremolo is ready and willing to accommodate you. This axe's trem delivers subtle warbles, screaming harmonic squealies, and subterranean dive-bombs in equal measure. Even better, you won't need to worry about tuning stability or subpar sustain — this Floyd is both reliable and packed with sonic flavor. Simply put, players who manhandle their whammy bars need a tremolo that can keep up with them, and the Pro-Mod Relic San Dimas Style 1 HH FR PF delivers on all fronts.

Charvel Pro-Mod Relic San Dimas Style 1 HH FR PF Electric Guitar Features:

  • Curvaceous alder body with comfortable contours
  • Seymour Duncan '59 SH-1N neck humbucker exhibits full low end, slightly scooped mids, and gently boosted highs

It pains me to write this

I have 6 other Charvels and they are just terrific. I saw this one and did not hesitate to hit the BUY ME NOW button. I grabbed a demo so that I could save a couple hundred and then got the guitar Pleked. ( My first time using this service) I have nothing bad to say about SweetWater as they did their job well. I think the guitar is the best playing guitar I own because of the process. The guitar is another story. I think the bridge on my copy is terrible. It reacts like it was rusted in water, Everything I turn is very hard and I will have to lead on the screws or something. The toggle switch was crap and I had to buy a new one and install it. There is no push-pull pot. What kind of Charvel doesn't have this option? All of mine do. I had to install the pot but upon doing so The Neck wouldn't split.The pickup had a bad coil. Bought a new one and installed it. Now the Neck splits but the bridge won't. This must be something with the toggle switching system, it just wont allow it to do so. I got the Neck to split, That is good enough. Kinda disappointed in this guitar. For 1600.00 I expected it to be so much better than my 899.00 guitars, but It wasn't. I may sell it even after all I did to get it back to being a player. I just am not bonding with it. Too bad.
