Charvel American Neo-Classic San Dimas SD1 HH HT Maple Fingerboard (Velvet Midnight)

The Charvel American Neo‐Classic Series San Dimas® Style 1 brings together the legendary design elements that defined 1980s rock guitar with contemporary manufacturing precision. At its core sits an alder body that’s been a Charvel signature since the early eighties, offering balanced tonal response with warm midrange punch and crisp high‐end clarity. The one‐piece quartersawn maple neck faithfully recreates authentic 1980 specifications while adding graphite reinforcement for superior stability, paired with a 12″–16″ compound radius fingerboard that transitions from comfortable chord work to effortless lead playing.

The custom Seymour Duncan® JB/59 pickup combination with parchment bobbins provides exceptional sonic versatility. The neck position ‘59 offers creamy vintage warmth perfect for expressive leads and rich rhythms, while the bridge JB brings high‐output bite for soaring solos and crushing riffs. A 5‐way blade switch unlocks multiple tonal options including split‐coil configurations, all controlled through a single low‐friction volume pot for pure, uncoloured tone. The Charvel hardtail bridge ensures rock‐solid tuning stability, while 22 jumbo stainless steel frets provide exceptional note definition and longevity.

Performance‐focused features include a truss rod adjustment wheel at the fingerboard’s end for quick setup changes, rounded fingerboard edges that feel broken‐in from day one, and Luminlay® side‐dots for perfect position awareness in any lighting. Available in four striking finishes—Gloss Black, Ferrari Red, Velvet Midnight, and Ivory Blitz—each guitar comes with a Charvel® multi‐fit hardshell gig bag. This is authentic 1980 Charvel craftsmanship meeting modern innovation in one complete package.
