HIGHLIGHTS:
Redesigned Channel Core™ Center Block
Combining a maple top layer and spruce bottom layer with a more focused chambering design, the redesigned Channel Core™ center block provides faster note attack and enhanced midrange punch that takes this Limited Edition Falcon Jr. guitar to a whole new level.
TV Jones® Pickups
The TV Jones® TV Classic™ neck pickup provides clean, compressed highs and mids with a tight and controlled low-end, while the TV Classic Plus™ bridge pickup bring a little more attitude to the party with a slightly rounder top end and higher output, making this a versatile combination that can cover a lot of sonic territory.
Mahogany Neck with Ebony Fingerboard
A 12″-radius ebony fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets tops a 24.6″-scale mahogany neck with a comfortably familiar standard “U”-shaped profile for smooth playability, while the glow in the dark Luminlay® side dots offer precision fretting in low-light settings.

The Charvel Pro-Mod Plus So-Cal Style 1 HH EVTN E is a premium guitar available in Midnight Blue that was born from a love of high-speed playing and designed to inspire. Featuring an Evertune 6 bridge to stay perfectly in tune, Luminlay side-dots, 22 Jumbo Stainless Steel frets, and Seymour Duncan Nazgûl /Sentient pickups. While the Nazgûl provides tight lows, strong mids and searing highs for aggressive rhythms and leads, the Sentient delivers a dynamic voice and responsive attack.
More comfortable than an overstuffed armchair, the So-Cal body is sleekly sculpted out of alder and paired with a rock-solid bolt-on caramelized maple neck with a pair of graphite-reinforcement rods to handle the ravages of the road and climate. A conveniently located heel-mount spoke wheel allows for rapid truss rod tweaks, even in between songs. Engineered for effortlessly nimble playing, the speed neck profile and 12″-16″ compound radius ebony fingerboard with 22 stainless steel frets is perfect for all styles of play – from low end riffing to soaring leads with worry-free upper-register bends.
