Charvel’s Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSH FR electric guitar harkens back to the superstrat movement of the 1980s. A pedigreed shredder, this axe epitomizes the Southern California look and sound with its hot-rodded Seymour Duncan pickups, familiar body style, and silky compound-radius fingerboard with rolled edges. The So-Cal boasts a genuine Floyd Rose double-locking tremolo that can handle the gnarliest of dive-bombs without wrecking your tuning. Plays like a custom superstrat

The superstrat craze of the 1980s inspired guitarists all over the country to Frankenstein their beloved axes with faster necks, hotter pickups, aftermarket hardware, and bold custom paint jobs. The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSH carries on this tradition with vintage-styled appointments and clean modern electronics for high-gain attitude and authoritative looks.
