Charvel

Description

You can "Bark at the Moon" if you want, but Jake E. Lee built his reputation closer to the fretboard. With the blue burst guitar that became one of the defining images of his '80s run alongside Ozzy Osbourne, he brought a style that was fast, forceful and deeply controlled, balancing aggressive attack with melodic phrasing that never felt excessive. The Charvel Jake E Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 electric guitar reflects that approach with an alder body, bolt-on quartersawn maple neck and 12–16" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard built for speed and precision. Its HSS pickup configuration pairs a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge humbucker with DiMarzio SDS-1 single-coils, while the Charvel HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge adds punch, clarity and tuning stability suited for tight rhythm work and fluid lead playing.

Blue Burst Style With Direct Hardtail Response

This signature San Dimas Style 1 keeps the design focused on fast response, clear articulation and a grounded feel. The alder body provides punchy mids with balanced clarity, while the gloss Blue Burst finish nods to the guitar that helped define Jake E. Lee’s '80s-era presence. Anchored by a Charvel HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge, the platform delivers a direct attack and consistent response that supports tight rhythm work, controlled picking and expressive lead playing.

Quartersawn Maple Neck Built for Speed and Stability

The bolt-on quartersawn maple neck is reinforced with graphite for added stability and finished in hand-rubbed satin urethane for a smooth, broken-in feel. A 25.5" scale length, 1.65" nut width and 12–16" compound-radius rosewood fingerboard create a setup that stays comfortable from lower-position chords to higher-fret bends and runs. With 22 frets, white dot inlays and a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, it’s built for fast movement while remaining practical for everyday setup adjustments.

Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio Pickups With Wide Tonal Range

The HSS configuration gives this model a broad range of usable tones, anchored by a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge humbucker. It delivers upper-mid presence, output and bite suited for saturated rhythm tones and articulate leads, while DiMarzio SDS-1 single-coils in the middle and neck positions add thicker single-coil character with added body and clarity. Together, the pickups move easily between aggressive and expressive voices without sacrificing definition.

Five-Way Switching and Locking Hardware for Stability

A 5-position blade switch paired with master volume and tone controls makes tonal changes quick and intuitive, offering dedicated bridge, middle and neck sounds alongside versatile in-between positions. Charvel die-cast locking tuners and the string-through hardtail bridge help maintain tuning stability and consistent response through bends and aggressive playing. Black-and-gold hardware completes the design while reinforcing its performance-ready feel.

Built in the Spirit of Jake E. Lee

From Ozzy Osbourne's Bark at the Moon and The Ultimate Sin to the blues-driven sound of Badlands and his Red Dragon Cartel project, Jake E. Lee built his reputation on precision, control and unmistakable tone. This signature model reflects that approach with focused attack, tonal flexibility and hardtail stability suited for expressive, articulate playing. The Charvel Jake E Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 electric guitar carries that blue burst legacy forward in a performance-ready design built for modern rock and roll rebels.
