Charvel Pro Mod Relic Series San Dimas guitars are the brand’s latest offering. Crafted to meet the demands of today’s guitarists while paying homage to the timeless beauty of relic finishes.
Pro Mod Relic Series San Dimas
At the heart of the Charvel Pro Mod Relic Series San Dimas series lies the meticulously applied Distressed Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish over an alder body.
Red, Black, and White
Available in three classic colors – Red, Black, and White – these guitars are designed to stand out both visually and acoustically. That wear pattern lets them down, as they all look identical.
Seymour Duncan
The series is powered by a formidable duo of Seymour Duncan pickups – the JB TB-4 at the bridge and the ‘59 SH-1N at the neck. This combination offers a versatile range of tones, perfect for players looking to explore different genres and styles. The simple yet effective control layout includes a single volume knob and a 3-position toggle switch, allowing for easy tonal adjustments on the fly.
Construction
Charvel’s commitment to playability and comfort is evident in the neck’s construction. Made from maple and with graphite reinforcement, it promises stability and endurance. The hand-rubbed urethane gel finish ensures a smooth, comfortable playing experience.
Designed for precision and ease of play, the guitar boasts a 25.5″ scale length and a compound fingerboard radius of 12″ to 16″. The
Pau Ferro fretboard, adorned with 22 jumbo frets, ensures effortless bending and playing comfort. Complemented by the distinct cream position inlays and white side dots.
Floyd Rose 1000
The guitar’s hardware further enhances the playing experience. It features a Floyd Rose 1000 Series Double-Locking Tremolo (Recessed) bridge, known for its exceptional tuning stability and precision. The black hardware finish, Charvel-branded die-cast tuning machines, and dome-style control knobs add to the guitar’s sleek, modern aesthetic.
The Stratocaster headstock rounds off the design, adding a touch of classic Charvel heritage to this modern masterpiece. Yes, the Pro Mod Relic Series San Dimas is a statement—but that pattern relic finish isn’t the best feature of this otherwise well-specified model.
