Charvel

collapse expand iconDescription

Charvel launches its new flagship USA Select series with the San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR. It taps straight into original-era Charvel DNA for a sleek, ferocious model with “old-school throwback” specs our high performance players have been clamoring for, such as ’80s-style body perimeters, finely shaped neck profiles, fast compound radius fingerboards with rolled edges, non-recessed Floyd Rose bridges, and more. 

The alder San Dimas Style 1 body is complemented by a one-piece quartersawn maple neck with one-way vintage-style bullet truss rod, and a 22-fret maple (black dot inlay) compound radius fingerboard with rolled edges. Pure tone pours from a DiMarzio DP100F Super Distortion bridge pickup and DiMarzio DP-116 HS2 neck and middle pickups, with five-way “super” blade pickup switching that delivers the bridge pickup only (position 1), bridge pickup inner coil and middle pickup (position 2), bridge pickup inner coil and neck pickup (position 3), neck and middle pickups (position 4) and neck pickup only (position 5).

Other premium features include a single control knob (master volume), side-mounted “football” output jack, black hardware, Floyd Rose Original non-recessed bridge with 37mm block, and more. Includes hardshell case.
