The Story

Custom Shop Nitro San Dimas Electric Guitar Cadmium Orange

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 dot inlays look great on the maple fretboard. What really makes this guitar special, however, is the Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish. Classic San Dimases (like Tommy's 1980 model) were finished in a durable polyurethane gloss for resilience. But the Cadmium Orange Nitro on this guitar has been specially aged for a well-loved and well-worn look that perfectly matches the comfortable neck. The dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers and three-way switch give you access to tons of hard rock and heavy metal tones, and the single Volume control lets you pull back for rhythm or crank up for lead!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Tremolo Arm, and Paperwork
