Charvel has just dropped a model for players who demand unwavering tuning stability: the Pro-Mod Plus So-Cal Style 1 HH EVTN E. This shred-ready Superstrat integrates the acclaimed EverTune bridge as standard, promising to keep your tuning locked no matter how aggressively you play.
EverTune
The EverTune bridge has gained significant traction among professional musicians for its unparalleled ability to maintain perfect pitch, even under extreme bending and tremolo use. Charvel’s strategic inclusion of this innovative technology in their latest Pro-Mod offering addresses a key desire for modern guitarists seeking ultimate reliability on stage and in the studio.
Built for Speed
Dubbed by its creators as “built to handle it all,” the Pro-Mod Plus So-Cal Style 1 HH EVTN E boasts a meticulously crafted design focused on delivering both blistering tones and lightning-fast playability.
Seymour Duncan
Staying true to the iconic Stratocaster blueprint, the guitar features an alder body paired with a bolt-on caramelized maple neck reinforced with graphite rods for exceptional stability.
Breaking from the traditional Stratocaster pickup configuration, this new model is equipped with a powerful set of passive Seymour Duncan Sentient and Nazgûl humbuckers. These pickups are specifically chosen to deliver bold, aggressive tones and handle even the most brutally low tunings with clarity and punch.
Premium Appointments for Uncompromising Performance
Beyond the revolutionary EverTune bridge and high-output pickups, Charvel has loaded the Pro-Mod Plus So-Cal Style 1 HH EVTN E with a host of premium features:
- Charvel-branded die-cast locking tuners for enhanced tuning stability.
- A Graph Tech TUSQ nut further aids in maintaining precise intonation.
- A versatile five-way pickup selector for a wide range of tonal options.
- Dedicated Volume and Tone controls for intuitive sound shaping.
The guitar sports a comfortable 25.5-inch scale length and a fast-playing 12-16-inch compound radius ebony fretboard.
This fretboard is adorned with 22 jumbo stainless steel frets for effortless bending and durability, alongside stylish 4mm pearloid dot inlays and practical Luminlay side dots for visibility in any lighting condition.
Finishing touches include a convenient heel-mounted truss rod wheel for quick and easy action adjustments, and a classic pickguard that nods to its rich lineage.
Versatility and Value in a Single Package
As demonstrated by Charvel signature artist and Saosin riff-lord Phil Sgrosso in the promotional video, the Pro-Mod Plus So-Cal Style 1 HH EVTN E is a remarkably versatile instrument.
It seamlessly transitions from sweet, expansive ambient soundscapes to full-throttle, mosh-pit-inducing metal tones, making it suitable for a diverse range of genres. The EverTune bridge, however, remains its standout feature, ensuring flawless tuning across all playing styles.
Price & Availability
The Charvel Pro-Mod Plus So-Cal Style 1 HH EVTN E is available now, exclusively in a striking Midnight Blue finish, with a retail price of $1,799.99.
