We are taking a look at the 2016 Charvel San Dimas Pro Mod. The guitar offers some pretty nice new features and we go over all of them in this review.
This axe sports hot-rodded high-output Seymour Duncan® JB™ and Seymour Duncan® '59 humbucking pickups directly mounted to the body. The volume control conceals a push/pull coil split to have even more tonal variations on tap 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. Dive to rumbling depths or add a well-placed rising harmonic without sacrificing your tuning with the Floyd Rose® FRT-O1000 double-locking recessed tremolo and FRT-O1000 locking nut.
The two-piece maple neck hosts 22 jumbo frets along with a pair of graphite reinforcement rods to resist bending and warping under environmental stresses. The speed neck profile is designed for lightning fast playing and completely unhindered position shifts while the comfortably rolled fingerboard edges provide the broken-in feel of an instrument with plenty of playing miles on it, and plenty more to go.
