Stage-ready from the sound and playability all the way up to the aesthetics, the Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1 features a solid ash body, an HH DiMarzio pickup configuration and a bombastic paint job that gives each example its own unique finish. Digging into the details, even the Super Distortion humbucker at the bridge and the PAF Pro humbucker at the neck have colour-matched covers, while the all-black Floyd Rose 1000 Series double locking tremolo bridge needs no introduction. The Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1: Fast & Fierce Since this is a Charvel offering, the playability has been pushed in every conceivable direction. The profile of the Speed Neck; the rounded edges of the ebony fretboard; and the graduated compound radius all deliver the level of agility and control that you would only expect from a Super Strat of this calibre - and the coat of satin gloss on the back of the neck doesn't do any harm either. And, while this model has definitely been set up to support heavier guitar work, the output can be pulled back by popping the push/pull volume pot to split the double coils down the middle and double the sonic range.
