A remarkable early production Charvel San Dimas Guitar from the San Dimas era, featuring a breathtaking “Hot Rod Flame” finish! This 1981 Charvel San Dimas Model guitar includes two additional switches that have been disconnected, alongside a “kill switch” that remains connected to the circuit, all while being in otherwise outstanding and original condition.
Equipped with a pair of DiMarzio pickups, it produces the intense lead tones one would anticipate from a super strat of this period, and the maple neck offers comfortable, low action, ideal for rapid runs that complement this striking graphic. These guitars are becoming increasingly rare, particularly in custom finishes, making this a perfect addition to any collection.
Named after its origin in San Dimas, California, the San Dimas® Style 1 emerged from a vibrant new wave of incredibly skilled and technically proficient Southern California guitarists in the early ’80s, who were on the lookout for instruments packed with high-performance features. Even now, our Charvel San Dimas Style 1 guitars are at the forefront of modern technology and innovation, and they continue to be the preferred choice for some of the best players around the globe.
Grab attention and blow minds with this boldly awesome modern day Super Stock Charvel San Dimas Style 1 – a high-energy throwback that seems like it’s been making waves since neon was all the rage. The worn black nitrocellulose finish, decked out with a striking yellow diamond design, hints at a history of endless late-night sessions and packed club shows that never really took place (but definitely could have).
