Words by Harry Connell

Cherry Kiss Burst and Sunburn finishes debut!

Charvel have announced two new finishes coming to their Pro-Mod series. The first is the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSH FR, in a stunning Cherry Kiss Burst.

What you need to know:

  • Charvel have announced two new finishes coming to their Pro-Mod series.
  • The first is the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HSH FR, in a stunning Cherry Kiss Burst.
  • The second is the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR E Ash in a Sunburn finish.

Read all the latest gear news here.

The So-Cal body is sleekly sculpted out of alder and is paired with a maple neck, engineered for effortless play with a 12”-16” compound radius and 22 jumbo frets.

The guitar hosts three Seymour Duncan pickups, a Distortion TB-6 humbucking pickup in the bridge, a Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 Single-Coil in the middle and a Distortion SH-6N humbucking pickup in the neck.

This powerful trio is the perfect blend of aggressive harmonics, springy Strat attitude and crunch.

It also features a five-way blade pickup switch, volume control and a no-load tone control that operates as normal from positions one through nine and is removed from the circuit at position 10.

The second is the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR E Ash, in a loud and proud grain-filled Sunburn finish.

Its sandblasted ash body is coupled with a bolt on maple neck, featuring graphite-reinforcement and rolled fingerboard edges for a broken-in feel.

Like the So-Cal model, it also features a 12”-16” compound radius and 22 jumbo frets, but boasts an ebony fingerboard with white dot inlays.

The San Dimas features a HH pickup configuration, loaded with a DiMarzio Super Distortion DP100 bridge pickup, an ideal blend of full lows, defined mids, and soaring highs, and a DiMarzio PAF Pro DP151 neck pickup with intense mids and highs that pair well with a high-gain amp.

It has a three-way pickup blade switch, tone control and a volume control that conceals a push/pull coil split for even more tonal variation, and boasts a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo.

Both retail for $2,999.00 and will be available soon.
