The Charvel Pro-Mod Plus San Dimas Style 1 HT EB Scorched Earth reimagines the superstrat for today's guitarist, blending California tradition with cutting-edge playability. Crafted for those who expect sharp precision, broad tonal flexibility, and effortless comfort in a show-stopping instrument, this model stems from Charvel’s celebrated San Dimas lineage and is the tool of choice for high-speed, expressive playing.

Unique Modern Features

Standout appointments include a hand-rubbed satin caramelized maple neck engineered for strength and stability, plus direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 and '59 SH-1N pickups offering a vast array of tones. Rolled fingerboard edges and a hand-shake heel carve give greater ergonomics, while Luminlay® side dots ensure visibility under stage lighting.

Precision Playability and Comfort

Every facet of the San Dimas Style 1 is optimized for speed and ease-of-play. The compound radius ebony fingerboard and jumbo frets enable seamless bends and rapid passages.

• Fingerboard Radius: 304.8–406.4 mm (12–16" compound) — transitions from rhythm to soloing are smooth and natural
• Players benefit from 22 jumbo nickel silver frets, which offer tall, wide surfaces for articulate phrasing.
• Neck Material: Caramelized maple, bolt-on with graphite reinforcement — built for aggressive playing stability

Versatile Tone and Electronics

The guitar's dual humbuckers open up both vintage warmth and contemporary edge. With a five-way blade switch, players access detailed coil combinations, reaching sounds beyond the typical HH setup.

• Pickups: Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 (bridge), '59 SH-1N (neck) — delivers classic high-output options
• Controls: Volume (Bourns low friction), no-load tone, 5-way blade — fine response and versatile switching
• HH configuration supports bold leads and clear, full cleans.

Premium Construction and Hardware

Durability is built in with an alder body, a Charvel hardtail bridge for steadfast tuning, and locking tuners designed for fast string changes.

• Body Material: Alder — delivers punchy resonance, ideal for rock and fusion styles
• The Charvel hardtail bridge (string-through-body) supports sustain and tuning stability
• Tuning Machines: Charvel-branded die-cast locking — enables secure and swift restringing

Who Is It For?

Intended for serious and professional players, this instrument can tackle technical solos and dynamic rhythm work. Modern ergonomics, powerful tones, and a striking look make it fit for shredders, session guitarists, and progressive musicians. The included gig bag supports life on the road or in the studio.

Charvel Heritage: From Custom Mods to Modern Icons

The San Dimas line from Charvel was born in Southern California for players seeking faster necks and more versatile electronics than traditional guitars could offer. With the Pro-Mod Plus series, Charvel continues that legacy, integrating classic superstrat DNA with advanced features for today's most demanding musicians.
