Charvel

Charvel Guitars has been synonymous with high-performance, shred-ready instruments since the late 1970s. Charvel pioneered the "Superstrat" concept, a hot-rodded, customised version of the classic Fender design built for speed and aggression. The modern Charvel lineup is divided into key series: the flagship US-made USA Select line and the hugely popular Mexican and Japanese-made Pro-Mod Series. Core models include the versatile San Dimas Style 1 and the dual-humbucker So-Cal Style 2, both featuring lightning-fast compound radius necks and high-output pickups (often Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio). Known for their Floyd Rose tremolo systems and unfinished maple necks, Charvel is the choice of guitarists across rock and metal. Endorsed by shred legends like Warren DeMartini and modern virtuosos like Guthrie Govan (with his signature models), a Charvel Pro-Mod or USA Select electric guitar is built for uncompromising technical playability and powerful tone.
