Not a store, nor a reseller. I just bought too many great guitars in an effort to find the right ones for me.

Packing superb Sunset Strip styling and the aesthetics of a well-seasoned road warrior, the Charvel Super-Stock SD1 H FR was engineered for no-holds-barred melodic hard rock and metal. Built on a muscular alder platform, this solidbody electric guitar boasts body-hugging contours and an aged nitro lacquer finish that’s guaranteed to steal the spotlight. This axe’s graphite-reinforced maple neck flaunts a comfortable, fleet-fingered profile bolstered by a 22-fret compound-radius ebony fingerboard — the perfect recipe for rapid-fire playability. This Super-Stock SD1 brandishes a Pasadena-inspired pickup configuration, showcasing a single hot-rodded Seymour Duncan JB Model humbucker at the bridge along with a lone Volume knob. Additionally, the recessed Floyd Rose tremolo equips you for shameless, bar-to-body whammy exploitation with rock-solid tuning stability. Other features include heel-mounted truss rod adjustment and heavy-duty Charvel-branded die-cast tuning machines. Players searching for a classic single-pickup stunner with undeniable visual flair will find all that and more in the Super-Stock SD1 H FR.
When it comes to pliable playability, the Super-Stock SD1 H FR is a tough act to follow. Built from alder, this solidbody electric guitar flaunts a lineage descended directly from Charvel’s early-’80s, Southern California shredders, ensuring seamless technical playing up and down the fretboard. Furthermore, the graphite-reinforced maple neck offers rock-solid stability, supported by a hand-rubbed urethane finish and a 22-fret, compound-radius ebony fingerboard for the utmost in high-speed playability. There’s just something special about a compound-radius fretboard; with a 12-inch radius at the nut that flattens to 16 inches at the 12th fret, you get the perfect feel for grabbing chords in lower positions, while the flatter upper registers facilitate blazing-fast fretwork.
The Charvel Super-Stock SD1 H FR is primed for full-throttle hard rock, thanks to its Seymour Duncan JB Model bridge humbucker. The most popular Duncan pickup of all time, the legendary JB was the humbucker that fueled the heavy metal revolution way back in the mid-1970s and continues to inspire players to this very day. Loaded with an Alnico V bar magnet, the JB gives you everything you’d want from a red-hot passive humbucker: full, powerful lows; crisp, detailed highs; and an upper-midrange bump that injects your chords with an indelible crunch and your leads with a singing, vocal-like character. Moreover, you get just enough output to drive your high-gain amp into harmonic-rich sustain. Simply put, this Super-Stock SD1 offers solid proof that one humbucker and a single Volume knob are all you need to deliver a full-blown eruption of metal-tinged muscle.
Adventurous guitarists who want to unlock their full potential need an instrument that can accommodate the full gamut of playing techniques with steadfast reliability. That’s why the Super-Stock SD1 H FR includes a recessed Floyd Rose FRT O2000 double-locking tremolo. A perennial favorite among Sweetwater’s trem-obsessed guitarists, the Floyd Rose enables you to dive-bomb, shriek, squeak, and flutter all you want, and you’ll experience rock-solid response and tuning stability. Whether you use or abuse it, you’ll have trouble knocking this Super-Stock SD1 out of tune.
