Designed to inspire and with more than four decades of experience, the Charvel® Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSH FR M is a slick performer with modern features and versatile sound 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. The comfortable So-Cal body is sleekly sculpted out of alder and paired with a rock-solid bolt-on maple neck with a pair of graphitereinforcement rods to handle the ravages of the road and climate. A conveniently located heel-mount spoke wheel allows rapid truss rod tweaks. Engineered for effortlessly nimble playing, the speed neck profile and 12”-16” compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets is perfect for all playing styles — from low end riffing to soaring leads with dizzying upper-register bends. Hot-rodded for unparalleled performance and sound, this instrument hosts a high-output Seymour Duncan® Distortion™ TB-6 humbucking bridge pickup, Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat® SSL-6 Single-Coil middle pickup and Seymour Duncan Distortion SH-6N humbucking neck pickup. This powerful trio produces aggressive harmonics in the bridge position for distinguished blues and metal runs, the perfect blend of heightened output and springy Stratocaster® attitude in the middle, and the ideal searing, crunchy tone for brazen leads at the neck. Extensive tonal variations are on top with a five-way blade pickup switch, volume control and a no-load tone control that operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine and is removed 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. Packed with plenty of So-Cal flavor, this stylish axe is available in Cherry Kiss Burst with white pickguard and chrome hardware.
