PRE-OWNED Charvel USA Select SO-CAL Style 1 HSS FR

The Charvel USA Select SO-CAL Style 1: A pro level shred machine with thoughtful upgrades

Iconic American craftsmanship

The Charvel USA Select SO-CAL Style 1 HSS FR stands at the top of the brand’s lineage, designed to capture that ferocious ‘80s spirit with a modern player’s needs in mind. Built in 2023, this model showcases the finest American craftsmanship with an alder body, finely shaped maple neck, and the unmistakable feel of Charvel’s compound radius fingerboard. Even unplugged, it resonates with authority and balance, setting the stage for high-octane performance.

Condition and playwear

This pre-owned instrument shows evidence of regular play, with visible scratches on the bass side horn, pickguard, treble side horn, and the back near the trem cover. Satin wear is also present on the back edges and bottom of the guitar. These cosmetic signs speak to its use as a trusted stage companion, though its structural integrity and performance remain unaffected.

Upgraded performance hardware

The factory R8 Floyd Rose nut has been replaced with a more comfortable R3 for improved feel and playability, while the original R8 is included for easy swapping. A Floyd Rose push-in tremolo arm has been added for smoother functionality, though the original screw-in arm is also included. Together, these adjustments deliver greater control and responsiveness for expressive playing without sacrificing originality.

Enhanced pickup configuration

Originally outfitted with a Dimarzio DP100 Super Distortion, this guitar now roars with a Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge. The JB’s balanced mids and singing lead voice pair perfectly with the stock single coils, offering both searing gain tones and articulate cleans. For players who crave classic crunch, the original DP100 is included and easily reinstalled. In addition, the single coil pickup covers have been swapped for no-logo replacements, offering a sleek aesthetic while the original logo covers remain in the case.

Complete package with case and extras

This Charvel comes loaded with thoughtful extras including the original Dimarzio pickup, original tremolo arm, single coil covers, adjustment tools, case keys, and product literature. A hard shell case is included, keeping everything safe and secure for transport and storage. This is a professional-grade guitar that has been played, personalized, and upgraded with an eye toward both tone and function.
