Description

Designed to inspire, the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR E is a slick performer with modern features and versatile sound that every guitarist will appreciate. Born from a love of high-speed playing and So-Cal style, this high-octane axe is packed with the classic playability and innovative design elements that have made Charvel a legendary name in high performance for more than 40 years.

More comfortable than an overstuffed armchair, the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR E is sleekly sculpted out of Alder and coupled with a rock-solid bolt-on Maple neck with a pair of graphite-reinforcement rods to handle the ravages of the road and climate. A conveniently located heel-mount spoke wheel allows for rapid truss rod tweaks, even in between songs. Engineered for effortlessly nimble playing, the speed neck profile and 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard with 22 frets is perfect for all styles of play — from low-end riffing to soaring leads, with worry-free upper-register bends.

Hot-rodded for unparalleled performance and versatile sound, this instrument hosts a high-output Seymour Duncan Distortion TB-6 humbucking bridge pickup and a pair of Seymour Duncan SSL Custom Flat Strat single-coil pickups in the middle and neck positions. The no-load tone control operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, removing itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound — letting the full natural voice of the guitar shine through. Scream or rumble with the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo system without sacrificing tuning stability or the pinpoint intonation.
