This is the quintessential Charvel model everyone should have in their arsenal. "Neo-Classic" could not be a more fitting description, as it flawlessly coaslesces iconic design and contemporary innovation. The classic contoured Alder San Dimas body and Seymour-Duncan JB/Jazz are your icons, while the comfortable compound fingerboard radius and graphite reinforced neck are your innovators. The neck itself is a quarter-sawn maple neck meticulously derived from its forefathers in the '80s.
We could list specs all day, so scroll down if you want more of that. What's important about this guitar is what happens when you sit down with it. Well-executed stainless steel frets give it a buttery smooth feel--no buzzing and a low, fast setup. One of the only companies to do it with 22 frets. The way any good shredder should be. But this guitar isn't just any good shredder, it's a lot more. The combination of the pickups with the neck feel and setup brings you straight back to the '80s, finger tapping and cheesy pentatonic riffing like you're fifteen years old again. Get even more lost in a big hall reverb and digital delay and you'll be soloing into the sunset.
As a shop with a repair department, we see a lot of pickup swaps. And there is none more common or more recommended than the Seymour-Duncan '59 neck pickup and the notorious JB bridge pickup for maximum aggression and singing sustain. The last one worth mentioning is the ever-present Floyd Rose 1000 locking tremolo. That's Charvel's bread and butter: top shelf hardware matched with effortless playability. Once you get into this US-made price point, there truly is no looking back.
This is a BRAND NEW guitar. If you have any questions, feel free to give us a call, shoot us a message or stop by any time!
As usual, this guitar has been professionally inspected and setup by our in-house luthiers.
