Full Description
View Full DescriptionLasting, super-speedy neck
The ultimate shredding guitar. The Charvel Model 1888 features a maple "Speed Neck", to help you achieve rapid, thrilling solos. Your hand will glide up and down the ebony fretboard smoothly and silkily thanks to a hand-rubbed urethane finish, designed to increase playing speed while maximising comfort.
This quality is built to last, too. The neck's graphite reinforcement makes certain that you'll be able to enjoy the neck's brilliant playability for years to come. Furthermore, 22 jumbo frets increase your playing area and make hitting the wrong notes virtually impossible. Take your soloing to the next level.
Matchless power and volume
Explosively loud. Your playing will always cut through the heftiest of mixes thanks to a pair of DiMarzio Super Distortion pickups. First pioneered in the 1970s, DiMarzio describe the Super Distortion as "the first pickup specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive".
The result of DiMarzio's development is the perfect pickup for hard rock. Combine this mighty pickup power with the Model 1888's fantastically speedy playing action, and you've got the ideal tool to create the ultimate metal sound.
Superb Floyd Rose Tremolo
Experiment with ease and freedom. The Charvel Super Stock 1888's superb Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo bridge allows you to bring exhilarating pitch changes into your music. Create with complete freedom as you manipulate your sound to make your guitar whine and scream with electrifying power.
Furthermore, your tuning will always stay perfectly stable thanks to the double-locking feature that keeps the string positioning rock-solid. Use your whammy bar as excessively as you desire without the hassle of constant retuning.
Compact, Dinky™ body
Never miss a note. Enjoy extremely easy access to your guitar's highest frets. The Super Stock 1888's Dinky™ body is designed to ensure your playing is never restricted by being unable to reach the top notes. A compact, cutaway mahogany body means you can solo with complete and utter freedom along the entirety of the guitar's fretboard.
This soloing can go on long into the night, too. The smaller, lightweight body makes the Model 1888 supremely comfortable to carry, reducing strain when playing for long durations. Ideal for heavy touring schedules, and gigs that you never want to end.
Classic, hard rock calibre
Charvel have pedigree when it comes to hard rock and metal. Their guitars have been favourites of some of the most prominent artists within the genres for decades.
The 1980s, which saw the release of the Model 88 that this Super Stock Model 1888 is inspired by, was a golden age for Charvel. Artists at the very top of the hard rock game started wielding their guitars. These included Van Halen, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Twisted Sister, and Kiss. With this limited edition offering, Charvel are revisiting a glorious past. With such a top-calibre guitar, they're hinting at a glorious future, too.
