2026 Charvel American Neo-Classic San Dimas Style 1 Hardtail Velvet Midnight
Built in Charvel’s Corona, California, workshop, the American Neo-Classic San Dimas Style 1 fuses the brand’s iconic So-Cal design with refined, modern craftsmanship. The alder San Dimas body has anchored Charvel’s sound since the early '80s, delivering a balanced response and natural resonance with a warm midrange punch and crisp high-end clarity that cuts through any mix. Driving that voice is a custom Seymour Duncan JB in the bridge position and a ‘59 humbucker in the neck, pairing high-output bite with creamy vintage warmth. Likewise, the one-piece quartersawn maple neck is faithfully reproduced from authentic 1980 specifications, reinforced with graphite for rock-solid modern stability, and topped with a compound-radius maple fingerboard for nimble leadwork and natural chording. Each detail poured into this guitar, from the rolled fingerboard edges and the heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel to the rock-solid stability of a Charvel hardtail bridge, will elevate your playing experience, certifying the American Neo-Classic San Dimas Style 1 as an instrument reverent of its legacy, crafted to deliver the modern enhancements today's players demand.
