Full Description
The Charvel USA Custom Shop Special Edition San Dimas brings the spirit of ‘80s hot-rodded shredders into the modern age with boutique precision and timeless tone. Built by the elite Charvel Custom Shop team in California, this one-of-a-kind San Dimas features a roasted ash body with sleek Root Beer Trans finish, complemented by a fast, responsive caramelized flame maple neck carved to a slim .775"–.850" profile for unmatched comfort.
A compound 12"–16" radius single-piece fretboard offers ultimate playability across 22 jumbo stainless steel frets, while a Floyd Rose top-mount tremolo adds expressive control and rock-solid tuning stability. A pair of DiMarzio pickups—Super Distortion in the bridge and PAF Pro in the neck—deliver everything from searing leads to warm, articulate cleans. Black hardware, koa accents, and the classic Charvel headstock round out a high-performance instrument for serious players and collectors alike.
Condition: This is a brand new Charvel USA Custom Shop San Dimas. It includes a Charvel Custom Shop certificate, a molded hardshell case, and our Pro-Tech setup. Drop Dee Guitars is an authorized Charvel USA Custom Shop dealer.

Overall great customer service and very friendly demeanor from Matt and Kristen at Drop Dee. Guitar matched its description perfectly and included everything as listed.

Thanks for the Custom Shop Strat!
— Joshua T., Bluefield, WVFender Custom Shop 57 Stratocaster Relic
I must say, I've had enough of mass sellers like SweetWater with their extra fees for everything that should be included as part of a guitar sale. Drop Dee Guitars exceeded my expectations by far with my order, ensuring that my instrument was a joy to play straight out of the box. I eagerly anticipate future business with this store. They are truly a shining star! Excellent communication throughout the pre-sale and after-sale as well. Thank you!
