A San Dimas Designed for Performance, in the Charvel "Hot-Rodded" Spirit
The San Dimas Style 2 follows Charvel's tradition of performance-oriented guitars: efficient ergonomics, easy access, and specifications designed to handle fast playing. This USA Select version takes the concept further with premium components (DiMarzio pickups and Floyd Rose Original) and meticulous craftsmanship, ideal for a reliable and precise stage instrument.
For Which Guitarist and Styles
This Charvel is primarily aimed at intermediate to expert guitarists seeking a responsive electric guitar tailored for lead and heavy rhythm playing. It excels in hard rock, metal, shred, and fusion, while maintaining true versatility thanks to the intermediate positions (coil splits/combinations) of the 5-way selector switch.
The Sound
The alder body provides a clear and dynamic balance, with tight lows and articulate mids, perfect for precise distortion. The DiMarzio duo is stage-ready: the Super Distortion DP100 at the bridge delivers a sharp attack, high output, and easy harmonics, while the PAF Pro DP151 at the neck offers singing definition for leads and rounder cleans. The 5-way selector switch multiplies tonal colors (full humbuckers and coil combinations) to shift from a wall of gain to finer textures without changing guitars. The Floyd Rose Original double-locking ensures solid sustain and exemplary tuning stability, even with intensive vibrato use.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a Charvel hard case (reference 009-0915-000). The original strings are Nickel Plated Steel 09-42: you can keep this gauge to maintain the Floyd Rose balance and the factory-set feel.
