What we say:
Beginning in the 70s in the Sunshine state of California, Wayne Charvel began what became known as the Original Custom Shop. Starting out in his San Dimas workshop, he repaired guitars and sold high quality replacement parts. As his reputation grew this developed into full instruments beloved of high octane players, most famously a young Eddie Van Halen.
These days, Charvel’s home is with Fender and their speciality is still hot rodded, locking whammied Strats and Teles that harken back to the halcyon days of hair metal whilst keeping both feet firmly on the here and now.
The Pro-Mod Style 1, made in Mexico, has an Ash body. It features a bolt-on hard rock maple neck with a speed-freak friendly 12”-16” compound radius fretboard (it’s pretty flat to begin with and gets even flatter as it goes up to encourage ultra-fast playing) and jumbo frets. The body has some shred-friendly scoops in the back of the lower bout and heel to facilitate easy access to the upper frets. Even the input jack has been thought about and improved: it now faces up the way and is found on a bevel on the back: out of the way and the perfect angle to accept your jack cable after it’s slung behind your strap.The hardware is first class: a proper Floyd Rose locking tremolo, which is essential for pyrotechnic playing, and high quality Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups with a push/pull coil tap to ease out some slinkier tones amid the brutal sonic debauchery that these Charvels so ably provide.
A Matte Blue Frost finish provides the final part of the hard rock package: gunslingers, shred heroes and headbangers unite!
Specification
An ideal instrument for dazzling high-speed playing, the San Dimas® Style 1 HH FR M boasts scorching sound, stunning style and grininducing playing feel and performance. Its body is crafted from ash and is coupled with a bolt-on two-piece maple neck with a pair of graphite reinforcement rods to resist bending and warping under environmental stresses. The speed neck profile is designed for lightning fast playing and completely unhindered position shifts while the comfortably rolled fingerboard edges provide the broken-in feel of an instrument with plenty of playing miles on it, and plenty more to go. This axe also features a maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, as well as a heel-mounted spoke wheel for quick and convenient truss rod adjustments.
High-output Seymour Duncan® JB and Seymour Duncan '59 humbucking pickups are directly mounted to the body, cranking out high octane rock ‘n’ roll tone with plenty of sweet overtones. The volume control conceals a push/pull coil split to have even more tonal variations on tap while the No-Load tone control operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, removing itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound, letting the full natural voice of the guitar shine through. Dive to rumbling depths or add a well-placed rising harmonic without sacrificing your tuning with the Floyd Rose® 1000 series double-locking recessed tremolo bridge system.
