Backed up by over 40 years of experience, Charvel build high-performance axes like no other, so this HH-configured edition of the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 holds true to tradition while throwing in some sweet modern perks. Built for power, the solid alder body has been mounted with a fierce pair of Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers, but as a neat twist, the coils can be split down the middle to unleash single-coil style bite and sparkle via the fitted push-pull volume pot. On top of that, this model comes kitted out with the smooth action and ultra-stable support of a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double locking tremolo bridge. The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1: Built for Speed! As well as power, it's pretty clear that this guitar has been built for speed. For a start, the maple neck bears a Speed Neck profile and comes sealed in a coat of hand-rubbed satin urethane for a buttery-smooth feel, while the rounded fretboard edges and set of twenty-two jumbo frets supply a light and nimble, played-in feel. Another welcome touch is the compound fretboard radius which graduates from 12 inches at the headstock to 16 inches at the body, supporting a firm and fast grip whether grabbing chords or solos. The chrome-plated finish of the hardware and matching pickguard merely serve as the chocolate sprinkles on top of a real treat.
