Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal SC1 Style 1 HH FR RW Pelham Blue

A Modern "Hot-Rod" in the Charvel Spirit

Born from Charvel's performance-oriented DNA, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 embraces the "custom" codes of guitars built to play fast and sound loud: an alder So-Cal style body, a reinforced bolt-on maple neck for stability, and electronics designed to cover everything from heavy saturated leads to snappier textures thanks to the coil split. A true stage electric, ready to withstand changing conditions and last-minute tweaks.

Who Is It For, and What Styles?

This solid body electric guitar is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking low action, easy access to the upper frets, and impeccable tuning stability when using the tremolo. Perfect for rock, hard rock, metal, shred, and modern high-gain playing, it remains credible in more dynamic registers thanks to the coil split and no-load tone control.

The Sound

The alder body provides a natural balance: present mids, clear attack, and good definition, ideal for cutting through a busy mix. The maple neck enhances precision and response, while the rosewood fingerboard slightly rounds off the high end to keep the trebles controlled. The Seymour Duncan Distortion pickups deliver a high output level, with harmonics that are easy to bring out and thick rhythm tones. The push/pull coil split broadens the palette towards clearer, sharper sounds, and the no-load tone control allows, at position 10, the removal of the pot from the circuit for a more direct feel and a more "open" grain. Finally, the Floyd Rose 1000 Series promotes solid sustain and excellent stability for intense vibrato effects.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay true to the original spirit and specifications, opt for a 009-042 electric string set (nickel-plated steel), a strap compatible with standard strap locks, and a high-quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable to preserve attack and dynamics.
