Charvel has three new Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 Sassafras models – decked out in all black
New blacked out Sassafras models from Charvel
Charvel has announced three new Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 models for 2021 using Sassafras as the body wood. The guitars, decked out in satin black finishes, include a left-handed version as well as a hardtail design.
Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1
These three models from Charvel, new for 2021, are all based around the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 design. Each model comes with a Sassafras body in a matte black finish, with the grain visible through the finish. There are two Floyd Rose models, one of which is left-handed and with an HH layout, and a single hardtail version.
Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR E Sassafras
This is the regular right-handed version, with an HSS pickup layout and a Floyd Rose 1000 locking trem system. It comes with a set of Seymour Duncan pickups with a JB TB-4 humbucker in the bridge, a single-coil Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 in the middle, and a single-coil Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 in the neck position, and is finished in matte black.

Sassafras
The Sassafras body has a bolt-on maple neck, with an ebony fretboard and 22 jumbo frets. Expect a nice rolled fingerboard edge, and the 12″-16″ compound radius should make this a very playable guitar. I think the satin black finish works well with the ebony fretboard and all black hardware, making it a neat looking modern shred guitar.

Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT E Sassafras
The Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT E Sassafras is a hardtail version of the above model. This should be perfect for players who don’t need or want a locking trem system and prefer a solid foundation for their playing style.

Hardtail
The hardtail version carries the exact same specifications as the Floyd Rose model, but with a Charvel HT-6 string through body bridge instead. It also has a set of locking tuners, to keep the tuning rock solid.

Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR E Sassafras LH
The Charvel Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH FR E Sassafras LH is a left-handed HH layout version. Apart from the pickups, it has pretty much the same specifications as the right handed version. For pickups, this time you get a pair of twin Seymour Duncan humbuckers, with a JB TB-4 in the bridge and a ’59 SH-1N in the neck position.

Push/Pull
Both pickups are then wired with a three-way switch and push/pull coil split on the volume control followed by a push/pull tone activation on the tone control.
