Old-school Charvel Performance
The USA Select San Dimas Series 1 HSS HT boasts many of the amenities that made the original '80s Charvels some of the most sought-after instruments of their era. Its 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. A rock-solid hardtail bridge and eye-catching satin finish complete this glorious package.
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 Series 1 HSS HT solidbody electric guitar features many of those exact same specifications for your playing enjoyment. The alder body is carved with '80s-style parameters for your comfort. And the fast-playing quartersawn maple neck is unbelievably stable under stressful environmental changes — plus, it features a compound-radius fretboard that flattens from 12–16 inches for effortless chording and clear, wide bends.
Straightforward and hard-rocking electronics
The Charvel USA Select San Dimas Series 1 HSS HT solidbody electric guitar gets its horsepower from a trio of DiMarzio pickups. Guitarists at Sweetwater 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 HT. Your output is controlled via a single black Volume knob that works wonderfully for killing your signal or backing off 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 hardtail bridge gives you rock-solid tuning stability.
