Charvel

Description

Designed to deliver authentic San Dimas performance sans boutique pricing, the Charvel Standard Series San Dimas Style 2 SD2 HH HT electric guitar combines fast playability, two high-output humbuckers and road-ready hardware in a stripped-down, purpose-built platform. A nyatoh Style 2 body and bolt-on nyatoh neck reinforced with graphite provide a stable foundation, while a 12–16" compound radius amaranth fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets supports everything from tight rhythm work to fluid lead playing. Intuitive controls, locking tuners and a hardtail bridge round out the svelte SD2, keeping the focus on performance and reliability.

High-Output Humbuckers With a No-Nonsense Control Layout

Charvel custom humbucking pickups in the bridge and neck deliver a punchy, aggressive voice with strong midrange presence and a tight low end. A single volume control and three-position toggle switch give you immediate access to bridge, neck, or combined tones without distraction. This streamlined setup keeps your signal focused and responsive, whether you’re dialing in clean passages or pushing high-gain amps.

Compound Radius for Fast, Fluid Playing

The amaranth fingerboard features a 12–16" compound radius that feels comfortable for chords near the nut and flattens out higher up the neck for smooth bends and fast lead work. Twenty-two jumbo frets support confident string control, while offset white dot inlays provide clear visual reference. A truss rod adjustment wheel at the end of the fingerboard allows quick neck adjustments without removing strings or hardware.

Hardtail Hardware That Prioritizes Stability and Sustain

A Charvel HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge enhances sustain and attack while maintaining consistent tuning stability. Charvel-branded die-cast locking tuners reinforce that reliability through aggressive picking, extended sessions and frequent string changes. Together, this hardware setup delivers dependable performance without unnecessary complexity.

Graphite-Reinforced Construction Built to Hold Its Setup

The nyatoh body offers balanced weight and solid resonance, while the bolt-on nyatoh neck is reinforced with graphite to resist movement caused by temperature and humidity changes. An oiled neck finish provides a smooth, fast feel while adding long-term protection. This construction approach is designed to hold its setup and stay reliable over years of regular use.
