Charvel Guitars

Charvel Guitars have been making an incredible range of high quality electric guitars for over four decades. Hailing from San Dimas, California by founder Wayne Charvel, Charvel guitars have been the go-to brand for rock and metal guitarists seeking Superstrat designs. Just as popular today as they were in the 80's, both the USA and Mexican models can regularly be seen on stages the world over. Today, Charvel guitar designs remain true to their roots by offering classic San Dimas models and So-Cal guitars with high output pickups, locking Floyd Rose tremolos and loud finishes. They are well known for being one of the few brands to offer a large number of pink guitars!

Charvel guitars often feature specifications that are well suited to demanding guitarists such as Floyd Rose locking tremolo systems, compound radius fretboards, and the use of roasted maple alongside high output pickups from brands such as Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio. The range of Charvel electric guitars includes many popular models such as the Pro Mod, San Dimas as well as artist signature models including Guthrie Govan, Warren DeMartini and Joe Duplantier. Charvel even have their roots in amongst the most famous Superstrats ever with Charvel bodies and parts being used by Eddie Van Halen to create the iconic Frankenstrat and Bumblebee guitars.

Charvel guitars are typified by their slim, fast necks, jumbo frets and loud finishes, though not aggressive styling: almost all Charvel electric guitars have traditional body shapes. Charvel are a well loved brand and are a popular choice for guitarists with a pro-shred sensibility.
