The Story

Custom Shop Nitro Aged San Dimas Electric Guitar Black Pearl

When Music Zoo owner Tommy Colletti sat down with the Charvel Custom Shop to design the "Ultimate" San Dimas that would blend both old and new features into one amazing instrument, he probably didn't imagine that it would turn out this well! The neck is based on a 3D-scanned model from Tommy's beloved 1980 San Dimas for a naturally played-in feel in a new neck, with rolled shoulders for extra comfort. The brass side dots and walnut position markers look gorgeous against the maple fretboard. What really makes this guitar special, however, is the aged Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish. Classic San Dimases (like Tommy's 1980 model) were finished in a durable polyurethane gloss for resilience. But the Black Pearl Nitro on this guitar has been specially aged for a well-loved and well-worn look that perfectly matches the comfortable neck. The guitar is loaded with a Bare Knuckle VHII humbucker, a perfect pickup for this type of guitar with clear highs and a fat bottom end that gives you a super wide range of sounds with only a master volume control.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Tremolo Arm, and Paperwork
