Crafted from alder, the distressed white body shows plenty of character with scrapes, dings, and worn finish that let you know this axe has been around the block a few times. The bolt-on maple neck featuring a pair of graphite reinforcement rods resists bending and warping from the rigors of the road. The smooth, fast speed neck profile allows for lightning fast playing while the comfortably rolled fingerboard edges give that broken-in feel of a well-loved instrument. Perfect for shredding, the 12"-16” compound radius rosewood fingerboard hosts 22 jumbo frets and aged white dot inlays. The heel-mount truss rod adjust thumbwheel makes on-the-fly neck relief tweaks a breeze.
The tortoiseshell pickguard provides an elegant backdrop for the double crème DiMarzio® Super Distortion® (bridge), DiMarzio Dark Matter 2® (middle) and DiMarzio PAF Pro (neck) pickups, cranking out rich, warm vintage tone with plenty of growl when you dig in. The two gold speed knobs keep it simple with one volume and one tone control to dial in your perfect sound. Take this baby for a ride from rumbling depths to soaring leads without losing your tuning thanks to the Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo bridge.
The distressed finish gives this Charvel axe the look of a road warrior that has many more glorious miles ahead of it.
