This Charvel looks like it drinks gasoline, starts fights in parking lots, and has absolutely no interest in your clean channel.

The 2025 Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR MPL is built like a proper shred-and-destruction machine, but with enough discipline in the spec sheet to keep it from turning into cheap costume jewelry.

Alder body. Maple neck and maple fingerboard. Compound-radius board. Jumbo frets. Floyd Rose 1000. Locking tuners. Seymour Duncan JB and ’59 humbuckers mounted straight to the body. 

Then there is the pickup set, which is everything this guitar needed and nothing it doesn't. A Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge handles the rude part of the conversation, while the ’59 in the neck gives you enough warmth and clarity to keep solos, leads, and cleaner passages from melting into the mix. The push/pull coil split and no-load tone are smart additions, but let’s be honest, nobody buys a Pelham Green San Dimas because they need a polite all-rounder for wedding gigs.

This is for the player who wants the guitar to feel fast before the amp even turns on. The satin Speed Neck, direct-mounted pickups, and stripped-down control layout all push in the same direction: less clutter, more violence. Palm-muted riffs hit hard, squeals sing out easily, and the Floyd is there for all the dives, screams, and reckless behavior that lesser bridges spend their whole lives trying to avoid.

And the color is perfect. Pelham Green is not subtle, is not mature, and is not asking permission. From anybody. Black would have been the safe choice. Safe is for accountants and rhythm guitarists who stand too far from the drummer.
