Plays like a custom superstrat
The superstrat craze of the 1980s inspired guitarists all over the country to Frankenstein their beloved axes with faster necks, hotter pickups, aftermarket hardware, and bold custom paint jobs. The Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSH carries on this tradition with vintage-styled appointments and clean modern electronics for high-gain attitude and authoritative looks.
Inspired by 30 years of customer requests
Charvel was one of the first guitar companies to manufacture superstrat-type guitars. With 30 years of customer feedback, Charvel was able to make the So-Cal play and sound like a pawn shopper's dream. The stock Seymour Duncan Distortion humbuckers sandwiching a Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coil deliver a wide variety of different tones, perfect for everything from brutal crunch and scorching leads to sweet, chimey cleans.
Floyd Rose locking tremolo adds texture to chords and leads
A dependable tremolo is requisite to the superstrat appeal. The So-Cal's Floyd Rose 1000 series locking trem moves between subtle vibrato and dive-bombed EVH-style leads with the natural response and tuning stability you expect from a Floyd Rose.
