Here for sale we have a Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH FR M electric guitar in Snow White finish. Made in Mexico in 2013, this guitar features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 22 Jumbo fret Maple fingerboard. This instrument is fitted with Black hardware including a Floyd Rose Double-Locking tremolo system and Charvel sealed tuning machines. A pair of Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups are installed, with a Distortion SH-2N in the neck and Seymour Duncan SH-EVH Frankenstein humbucker in the bridge. These are wired to a 3-way selector and a master volume control.
The ‘Speed Neck’ feels well balanced and comfortable in the hand and offers a nicely slim and manoeuvrable playing surface across the register. The hand-rubbed Satin finish to the rear of the neck provides an incredibly smooth and ergonomic feel which allows the player to effortlessly glide up and down the fretboard. The 12″-16″ compound radius makes both chordal and lead playing comfortable as the fretboard gets flatter towards the upper register. This ensures comfort for chord playing in the lower register and practicality for string bending as you climb the neck. This is further enhanced by the jumbo frets which improve the feel of vibrato and string bending techniques.
The Seymour Duncan pickups installed in this guitar deliver huge screaming tones that project a deep bass and punchy mids, as well as a searing bright treble to help you cut through the mix. The neck pickup produces a thick, rounded sound tone with plenty of power for your solos and lead lines. The bridge pickup is of course brighter, and with a higher output drives the front end of an amp into a beautifully saturated distortion. The simple control layout offers comprehensive control of your tone without being intrusive to the playing experience.

Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall very good condition, the bass side edge of the headstock displays slight discolouration. It is difficult to discern any other markings to the headstock.
Neck: Overall good condition, the fingerboard demonstrates notable staining throughout the register, typical of this finish on a well-used guitar. The rear of the neck has a rough satin texture, with the “skunk stripe” being felt under the finger. This does not cause structural concern.
Body: Overall very good condition, all aspects demonstrate light scratching visible only under direct lighting at certain angles, the most noticeable of these can be seen tot the lower bout treble side edge where the scratching can be felt under the fingers. The original ‘Snow White’ colour has discoloured over time displaying a yellow tint, this is common for white finished guitars.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
Current Set Up:

Hardware: Fully functional with light to mild signs of wear. The tremolo bridge displays mild oxidation, this is common with regular use in a high contact area.

Tremolo arm included.
Structural: No concerns or issues to note.
