Cali cool with attitude

The Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 2’s classic body shape and chrome hardware exhibit a laid-back Cali style with a heavy dose of Charvel attitude. An alder body contributes to the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 2’s full-bodied tone, which soars above the mix and is reinforced with a pronounced midrange and tight low end. Made from stunning caramelized maple with a hand-rubbed satin urethane finish, the guitar’s “Speed neck” is designed for extreme comfort and lightning-fast fretwork on its 24-fret fingerboard. Plus, the Pro-Mod So-Cal’s string-through-body hardtail bridge and Graph Tech TUSQ XL combine for extraordinary tuning stability.

Fluence Open Core Classic pickups give you endless tonal options

With the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 2 24 HT HH Fluence’s Fishman Fluence active pickups, you’re able to harness several decades of the most sought-after rock and metal tones ever mined. With the tug of a pot, you will have access to three distinctly different voices for each pickup:

• Neck V1: a clear, vintage-sounding PAF humbucker
• Neck V2: an airy chime with plenty of sweetness
• Neck V3: the quack and spank of a classic single-coil
• Bridge V1: a bridge-position PAF with extra output
• Bridge V2: a muscular, hot-rodded humbucker
• Bridge V3: an overwound single-coil for Texas blues to screaming leads

Unlike other wire-wound pickups, Fluence Open Core Classics deliver these classic voicings without noise or inductance issues. Discover for yourself why many guitarists at Music Experience trust their axes to the Fluence system — check out the Charvel Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 2 24 HT HH.

The Pro-Mod story

Charvel’s Pro-Mod series guitars rock classic Charvel style, born in Southern California more than three decades ago. These axes are packed with the hot-rodded, high-performance features artists rely on: classic body styles, premium tonewoods, unfinished oiled necks, smooth, rolled fingerboard edges, scorching pickups, rock-solid bridges, and more.

What Charvel Says...

With one of the most beloved and iconic body shapes as our starting block, our innovative design team sculpted even more dramatic curves for enhanced ergonomic comfort. The alder So-Cal Style 2 body also features a scalloped lower back bout and shredder’s cut heel for easier upper fret access and hours of grin-inducing playing-feel and performance. A graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck offers rock-solid stability regardless of ravages of the road and climate, while a heel-mount truss rod adjust thumbwheel makes for quick and easy neck relief tweaks. Engineered for effortlessly nimble and highly-expressive playing, the So-Cal Style 2 has a speed neck profile with hand-rubbed urethane finish on the back and a 12”-16” compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets, pearloid dot inlays and Graph Tech® TUSQ® XL nut. Luminlay® side dots will guide your way along the fretboard, even on the darkest of stages. Built for unparalleled performance and versatile sound, this instrument is equipped with multi-voiced Fishman® Fluence® Open Core PRF-COC pickups for layered, dynamic tone. The bridge pickup delivers quintessential hot-rodded humbucking tone without all the baggage (voice one), or ideal vintage PAF humbucking tone calibrated for perfect output (voice two). Similarly, the neck pickup delivers a Fluence-exclusive tone with clear and airy chime, unbelievable high end, highly vocal midrange and tight lows (voice one), or an ideal-but-elusive vintage PAF tone with just the right dynamics and output (voice two). A two-way mini toggle allows you to switch between these two voicings, while a tone control with push/pull activation bypasses the mini toggle to activate voice three, which outputs clear, vintage single-coil tone on the neck pickup or slightly overwound single-coil tone on the bridge. Throw in the three-way blade pickup switch and volume control knob and tonal possibilities are virtually endless. This axe also features a Charvel® HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge with brass saddles, providing endless sustain with laser intonation, as well as Charvel-branded sealed die-cast locking tuners and standard strap buttons. A sophisticated offering ready to spawn waves of sonic bliss, the Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 2 24 HH HT CM is finished in Satin Black with black pickguard and black hardware, and in Robin's Egg Blue or Snow White with parchment pickguard and chrome hardware. All colors feature a reverse licensed Fender® Telecaster® headstock for even more unique Charvel style.
