Charvel

Description

The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 is sleekly sculpted out of alder and paired with a rock-solid bolt-on maple neck with a pair of graphite-reinforcement rods to handle the ravages of the road and climate. A conveniently located heel-mount spoke wheel allows for rapid truss rod tweaks, even in between songs. Engineered for effortlessly nimble playing, the speed neck profile and 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard with 22 frets is perfect for all styles of play—from low-end riffing to soaring leads and worry-free upper-register bends. Hot-rodded for unparalleled performance and versatile sound, this instrument hosts a high-output Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 humbucking bridge pickup and a pair of Seymour Duncan SSL Custom Flat Strat single coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. 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. Scream or rumble with the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system without sacrificing tuning stability or the pinpoint intonation.

    I received the red model today and after letting it sit for a few hours, I opened it up. It was shoddily packaged, and was NOT in the manufacture's box as if it was a floor model listed as new. For what was paid, I was expecting a NEW item. GC lost yet another customer.

    This is my 3rd Charvel and they've all came set up perfectly. I haven't had to adjust anything. Very easy playing guitars, made nearby in Mexico and Seymour Duncan pickups standard. These are a bargain and are gig-able professional quality instruments.

  • Fantastic guitar, my prayers have been answered! :)

    Been a Jackson/Charvel guy since my teens. But I always wished they would make a production model of the So-Cal (aka Strat) with the hardtail and they finally did! I wanted to get the Gold one but it was already sold out and got the Candy Apple Red one, and it also looks absolutely fantastic! I usually use EMG pickups so I never care for the stock pickups but the stock Seymour Duncans are among of the best versions of these I've ever heard!

  • great sounding guitar - very diverse tones available
