Aggressive Tone, Custom Looks

If you're like us at Sweetwater, you look back on the Superstrat movement of the ’80s with a certain fondness. Inspired by the hot-rodded S-style axes of years past, the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR E is a bona fide shredder. It's got the Southern California look, screaming Seymour Duncan pickups, and a silky-smooth compound radius fingerboard. The So-Cal comes loaded with a Floyd Rose 2000 Series tremolo for achieving wild craziest dive-bombs and squeals without getting knocked out of tune. Plus, you'll be impressed by the comfortable contours and blazing fast feeling of the neck. If you're in the market for a fire-breathing axe that you can pull right off the shelf, the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR E is your first choice.

Your hands will fly over the compound radius fingerboard

The Superstrat craze of the 1980s inspired guitarists all over the country to Frankenstein their beloved axes with faster necks, hotter pickups, aftermarket hardware, and bold custom paint jobs. Decades later, the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR carries on this tradition. It has a blazing-fast maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods to resist bowing over time. At the nut, the fretboard is a rounded 12 inches. As you move up the neck, the ebony fingerboard flattens out to a radius of 16 inches. This compound radius construction makes it easy for you to fret chords one minute, and rip solos in the upper register the next.

Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver hot-rodded tone

For most players, tone is everything — especially when you're buying a stock guitar. That's why Charvel loaded this axe with a pair of Seymour Duncan TB-6 and SH-6N Distortion pickups. For extra tonal variation, both humbuckers are equipped with coil-splitting abilities to give you a total of 6 humbucker/single-coil tones from brutal crunch to shrieking leads. The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR E is a hot-rodded musical machine, and it's waiting for you right here at Sweetwater.

Floyd Rose 2000 Series tremolo for extra sonic exploration

Unlock greater playing potential with the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR E. It comes loaded with a real-deal Floyd Rose 2000 series locking tremolo system. When you play, use it for anything from subtle vibrato to full-on dive-bombs — it'll still be in tune and ready to go again. Whether you use it or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking the Floyd Rose tremolo bridge out of tune.
