Overview
Pedigreed shredders from the '80s, Pro-Mod San Dimas guitars are packed with high-speed playability and innovative design elements that epitomize Charvel definitive combination of time-honored style and modern features, power and performance.
The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 2 HH FR M Okoume offers an okoume body coupled with a bolt-on two-piece maple neck with graphite reinforcement rods for rock-solid stability, despite the ravages of the road and climate.
Engineered for effortlessly nimble and highly-expressive playing, this guitar has a speed neck profile with a hand- rubbed urethane gel back finish, a 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets and black dot inlays, as well as a heel-mounted spoke wheel for quick and easy truss rod tweaks.
Hot-rodded for unparalleled performance and versatile sound, this instrument is equipped with a high-output Seymour Duncan JB humbucking bridge pickup and a warm, fat Seymour Duncan '59 humbucking neck pickup, controlled with a three-way blade switch. The volume control hides a push/pull coil split for even more highly useful tonal variations-ideal for everything from a biting lead sound to thick, chunky rhythm work, while the No-Load tone control operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, removing itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound, letting the full natural voice of the guitar shine through.
The Floyd Rose 1000 series recessed tremolo bridge system allows… read more players to scream and rumble without sacrificing tuning stability. read less

Verified Purchaser
zZounds has verified that this reviewer purchased this specific product from us.
It came down to this Style 2 and a Wolfgang. After reviewing hundreds of youtube reviews and demo's and Guitar forum reviews I pulled the trigger based on a few things. First and foremost, reviews have been overwhelmingly positive. To be honest the only negatives were because the headstock wasnt a tele or there isnt a case. I have a Fender Jim Root Tele that is bad ass and also made in Mexico. So I kind of figured the build quality was going to be on point and it was.
Sound
My Jim Root has EMG's so I was wanting something more expressive. The hard mounted JB/59 combo really does sound very well with this wood and weight. Plugged into my 100 watt Peavy Windsor head and stomped on my Vai Wah. really nice tone. I'm a big Jake E Lee fan and the tone kind of reminded me of his tone off of Dusk. Raw and clear but distorted. Cant wait to experiment with the set up a bit more.
Features
The neck is really cool. Its wider than my Fender JR across the fretboard but the back isnt any thicker. It was unusual at first but after a god hour I had myself in the pocket and adjusted to the differences. If you like Ibanez necks, you would ALMOST be at home on this. Split coil is cool as I love a good single coil neck tone and adds more tonal dimension ala the 6 pack of sound. (YOUTUBE THAT)
Ease of Use
This thing was in tune out of the box. Again after adjusting to the wider neck I was off to the races.… read more The Floyd works as it should and I'll have to re-learn my trem tricks as I've been away from it since I've been on the Jim Root for so long.
Quality
Man I gotta say I stumbled on Made in Mexico guitars by mistake 3 years ago with my Root Tele. That guitar was so well made I knew for my price range I was getting another MIM guitar. This one again, is so well crafted I'm really suprised at how well the Mexico factory does for the price point. Its a beautiful guitar in person that immediately gave off an EVH kind of vibe to it. FRETS, WOODWORK,AND ELECTRONICS all in perfect condition.
Value
I think this thing is worth much more and very suprised it isnt at least a grand. Top notch build, great components, great specs. It's worth the price for sure.
Manufacturer Support
I have not ever dealt with Charvel. But I'm a longstanding customer and advocate of zZounds. The one time I ordered a dream guitar "Les Paul" I recieved it packed expertly as usual but the build quality was so bad I sent it back. zZounds didnt even flich. Let me send it back and chose an SRV Strat instead. I am poor and if it werent for zZounds pay 2 play plan I wouldnt have any of the awesome gear I do now.
The Wow Factor
Well its woody looking and I dig that. The picture that is in the zZounds page is a little bit darker than what I got. Which is cool as it matches closer to the lighter maple fretboard. So much like the Jim Root Tele, this Charvel Style 2 is hot rodded tele that you just dont see everyday. with some fantastic meaty pickups directly mounted to the wood, a Floyd Rose and all that beautiful wood grain this thing wow's. Even my girlfriend dug it.
