It might look absolutely battered, but we prefer the word 'character' - and this guitar really is full of it. Henrik Danhage is the guitarist for Swedish prog-metal titans, Evergrey. They're known for their wall of noise; their sound is a true assault on the senses. Charvel have subsequently collaborated with Henrik to pay homage to this mighty sound. Enter the Henrik Danhage Limited Edition Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1! With a heavy relic finish, it's eye-catching to say the least.
Considered Construction
The backbone of the guitar is an immediately distinct So-Cal Style 1 ash body. It's complimented by a bolt-on maple neck (containing graphite reinforcement rods that prevent warping, which can occur due to changes in your environment). Add to this a comfortable maple fingerboard with rolled edges and 22 jumbo frets, and you've got a guitar built for accurate chords and intense riffs.
Versatile Pickups
This instrument features a HS configuration. You'll find a Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge pickup that's been paired with a DiMarzio Area 67 DP419CR single-coil neck pickup. The former brings metal/hard rock character to the table, with a classic, high-output humbucker sound. This is contrasted by the latter's bright and crisp tones.
Additional Extras
Use the volume knob - with a push/push selector switch - to swap between the neck and bridge pickups on-the-fly.
A Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo bridge even means that the guitar will remain in tune after the most chaotic practice and performance sessions!
