Old-school Charvel Performance
The USA Select San Dimas Series 1 HSS FR solidbody electric guitar boasts many of the features that made the original '80s Charvels some of the most sought-after instruments of their era. The guitar's neck is crafted from quartersawn maple and features a compound-radius fretboard for chording and soloing comfort. The USA Select San Dimas Series 1's HSS DiMarzio pickup set consists of a high-output Super Distortion humbucker and two HS-2 single-coils. And you'll have all of the dive-bombing control you crave via the Floyd Rose Original tremolo.
Crafted for speed, tone, and comfort
The way vintage Charvels beg your hands to fly up and down the fretboard have made them legendary instruments around the world. The USA Select San Dimas Series 1 HSS FR solidbody electric guitar features many of those exact same specifications for your playing enjoyment. The Alder body is carved with '80s-style perimeters for your comfort. And the fast-playing quartersawn maple neck is unbelievably stable under stressful environmental changes and features a compound-radius fretboard that flattens from 12- to 16-inches for effortless chording and clear, wide bends.
Straight-forward and hard-rocking electronics
The Charvel USA Select San Dimas Series 1 HSS FR solidbody electric guitar gets its horsepower from a trio of DiMarzio pickups. You'll love the high-output and clear sound of the guitar's iconic DP100F Super Distortion humbucker in the bridge position. Two DP-116 HS-2 single-coil pickups in the neck and middle positions add that unmistakable bell-like chime and bluesy grunt. And the simple-but-effective single volume knob and 5-way pickup selector can access a wide range of tones to expand your hard rock palette.
Top-quality hardware offers ultimate control
You'll only find high-performance, name-brand hardware on your USA Select San Dimas Series 1 HSS FR. Your output is controlled via a single black volume knob that works wonderfully for killing your signal or backing of the gain for cleaner passages. The 5-way pickup switch chooses between the pickups and even accesses single-coil type tones from the bridge Super Distortion humbucking pickup. Finally, a Floyd Rose Original non-recessed, double-locking tremolo (a favorite at Sweetwater) maintains rock-solid tuning stability and puts a world of pitch manipulation at your fingertips.
