Classic SD Looks with Seymour Duncan Electronics

Boasting the stability of a bolt-on maple neck, a dutifully designed Floyd Rose 1000 series locking tremolo, and potent Seymour Duncan sonics hidden underneath, discerning guitarists know the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1 electric guitar means nothing less than approachable shredding power. An alder body and maple neck exude durability and long-term performance; all the while, a collection of deluxe Charvel appointments and die-cast tuning machines ensure pure intonation support while maintaining a sleek visual appearance on any stage. Looking for tone? The Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1 has got plenty, given a Seymour Duncan humbucker duo and a seamlessly operated set of tonal controls. Take it from Sweetwater's technically adept guitarists: When it comes to shred-friendly instrumentation, the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1 electric guitar reigns as one of the best.

Outstanding alder body design

Lightweight, resonant, and full of tonal life, it's no wonder why alder is such a popular tonewood among Charvel's 6-string portfolio. Utilized for the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1's body, this means less weight on your shoulders as well as supplemental tone for utmost resonance and richness during play. Additionally, a closer look at the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1's body reveals a Floyd Rose 1000 series locking tremolo system that, when utilized in conjunction with a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut, ensures utmost intonation stability while making light work of wavy bends, dive bombs, and anywhere in between. Finished and appointed with an amalgamation of high-performance hardware, Sweetwater guitarists know that Charvel meant business when designing the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1.

Durable materials supply unparalleled mobility

High-profile shredding sessions start with a maneuverable instrument — rest assured, the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1 is more than equipped to handle even the most rigorous transitions with ease. It starts with a smooth maple neck that's equipped with a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish and a comfortable playing profile, ensuring swift and manageable access along every fret. Likewise, a 12- to 16-inch compound radius rosewood fingerboard reveals dot-style inlays to keep your movements accurate and decisive. Complete with a sleek gloss body finish and a simple yet in-depth collection of onboard tonal controls, finding your way around the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1 will become second nature within minutes.

High-octane Seymour Duncan pickup duo

Sporting sonics from vintage-inspired snaps and cleans to entirely hot-rodded humbucker power, the Pro-Mod San Dimas SD1's onboard Seymour Duncan pickup duo supplies more than enough tonal diversity to manage a range of genres and play styles. Set in the neck position, a '59 SH-1N pulls from late-'50s distorted tones, pairing with the bridge's JB TB-4 to add potency and power to any sonic signature — all while maintaining a formidable pickup combo that is capable of cleaning up nicely via onboard push-pull volume pot controls, a no-load tone knob, and a pickup selection switch. From R&B to heavy metal chugging and beyond, the Seymour Duncan pickup duo is the right pair for the job.
