Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas 2H FR Trans Purple Burst

General

It's safe to say that the Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas 2H FR is a striking guitar with a remarkably good sound. Not only does it feature a high-gloss Trans Purple Burst finish and a stunning quilted maple veneer top with a matching maple neck, it also sports two Seymour Duncan humbuckers with special potentiometers that allow for a number of surprising sounds. Additionally, this electric guitar boasts a Floyd Rose Double Locking Nut tremolo system for staggering dive bombs. Should the neck feel a bit off-centre after a particularly hefty performance, rest easy; thanks to the practical spoke wheel, you can quickly adjust it again.

Pro Mod San Dimas 2H FR Trans Purple Burst: humbuckers with more options

The Pro Mod San Dimas is a great instrument for any guitarist. Its two Seymour Duncan humbuckers - a '59 at the bridge and a JB TB-4 at the neck - are mounted directly onto the body without additional springs for resonance, ensuring a high output and lots of sustain. Even though you only have two potentiometers and a three-way switch at your disposal, you still get to choose from six different sounds, thanks to the volume knob's push/pull function, which splits your pickups in half, effectively turning them into single-coils. Turn the tone knob all the way up, and its No-Load functionality guarantees that none of your sound is lost.

A comfortable model

Thanks to the neck and fretboard's compound radius, this Charvel feels instantly comfortable in your hands. The fretboard is more curved along the first frets, allowing for easy chords and riffs, but flattens out as you move down the neck, facilitating leads and melodies. A spoke wheel located underneath the 22nd fret makes adjusting the neck a piece of cake, and the double locking nut keeps your strings in tune no matter how much you abuse the Floyd Rose tremolo.
