This guitar is part of Charvel’s continuing efforts to expand their popular Super-Strat line, carrying hot-rodded pickups, oiled neck, rolled fretboard edges, a special bridge and more.

The new Super Stock So-Cal Silver Sparkle is a limited run instrument that’s designed to take the spotlight. You can say that this guitar is not meant for the bedroom, it’s reflective finish will surely look stunning beneath the bright lights of the stage.

Underneath the eye candy finish is still the same workhorse instrument as expected from this line. It has an alder body carved into a classic double cutaway shape that contrasts the striking finish that is also applied to the headstock.

The body is connected to a quartersawn maple neck with the Strat-like scale length of 25.5″. The oil finished neck is topped by rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets, nut width of 1.6875″, and fingerboard radius of 12″-16″.

Instead of the usual HSS configuration for superstrat guitars, the Super Stock So-Cal has two humbucking pickups. Giving the guitar its voice is a Seymour Duncan ’59 humbucker on the neck position and a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker on the bridge.

The JB humbucker is a popular choice for the bridge position because of its hot output , ideal for overdriven tones from blues to heavy metal. The ’59 humbucker on the other hand is known for its vintage PAF style tones. The pickups are wired to a 3-position chrome-tip toggle switch and a straightforward single knob setup that allows master volume adjustment.

Contrasting the guitar’s classic shape is the modern Floyd Rose Original tremolo bridge and locking nut, allowing for shred-friendly expressive control over your notes. Keeping your strings in tune on the headstock are non-locking Charvel tuners.

The new Charvel Pro Mod Super Stock So-Cal Silver Sparkle guitar is now retailing online for $1,050. Head over to Charvel for more information.
