The Charvel American Neo-Classic Series San Dimas Style 1 delivers the perfect fusion of iconic design and cutting-edge innovation. The alder San Dimas body has been a Charvel staple since the early eighties, providing balanced tonal response and natural resonance with warm midrange punch and crisp high-end clarity that cuts through any mix with authority.
The custom Seymour Duncan JB/59 pickup combination with parchment bobbins offers ultimate sonic versatility – the neck position ‘59 delivers creamy vintage warmth for expressive leads and rich rhythms, while the bridge JB provides high-output bite for everything from soaring solos to crushing riffs. The one-piece quartersawn maple neck is carefully reproduced from authentic 1980 specifications and enhanced with graphite reinforcement, ensuring legendary feel with unmatched modern stability.
The innovative 12”-16” compound radius fingerboard starts comfortable for chording and opens up dramatically for effortless lead work, while 22 jumbo stainless steel frets provide exceptional note definition. Performance features include the truss rod adjustment wheel at the fingerboard’s end for lightning-fast setup changes, rounded fingerboard edges that feel like a glove, and Luminlay side-dots for perfect position awareness.
The top-mount Floyd Rose 1000 series double-locking tremolo delivers rock-solid tuning stability with unlimited dive-bomb devastation and soaring flutter effects, while streamlined electronics featuring a single lo-friction volume pot and 5-way blade switch put pure tone at your fingertips. This is your gateway to sonic excellence – authentic 1980 Charvel craftsmanship meets tomorrow’s innovation in one irresistible package.
