Charvel Jake E Lee Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal HSS HT RW, Pearl White

Full Description

Jake E Lee

Pushing the boundaries of rock n roll, Jake E Lee has been thrashing six string stunners since the '80s. Landing a legendary gig as Ozzy Osbourne's lead guitarist, he's known for his pointpoint accuracy and unbelievably swift playing. Complex lead lines and chunky rhythms have all sparkled on his signature black and white guitar, and now Charvel have recreated that style and high tempo virtuosity into one special edition guitar.

No speed limits

With this neck and fretboard, you can play as fast you like. It's time to expand your riff vocabulary because you'll get through songs so quick, you'll run out of things to play! The maple neck is profiled in a speed shape, it's curved in such a way to provide an ergonomic grip that's heavenly to hold. Blast around the registers without stopping, because the hand-rubbed satin finish on the neck will let you zoom up the scales for the most thrilling solos.

It only gets better. Rosewood is smooth, silky and responsive as a surface. It's a perfect canvas for lead line painting and adventurous solos because of these natural qualities, not to mention its bright and desired tonal properties. Push your skills to extremes, the compound radius of this fretboard means you'll have an easy time chording at the lower frets and more room to string bend at the high end. Throw in 21 jumbo sized frets and you've got recipe for electrifying, pitch bending riotous riffs.

Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio combo

Get ready. This powerful set of pickups generate wrathful, fiery and forceful sonics. Chosen to give you the kind of no-holds barred crunch that Jake E Lee utilised, you can expect to melt some faces with this deadly trio. Featuring a Seymour Duncan JB SH-4 at the bridge, this powerhouse pickup can roar out anything from the dirtiest black metal to the more restrained fuzz of classic rock. It contains a chunky mid-range and enough output to make your amp squeal. Consequently, this awesome humbucker is ripe with sustain and harmonics.

It's not just about the bridge, and DiMarzio's SDS-1's in the middle and neck position lend you extra versatility to switch up your sound. Get the thick, rhythmic flow of the middle single coil, or voice the warm and low-end rich textures of the neck position to load extra weight into each note. The sharp contrast between humbuckers and single coils let you introduce varied dynamics to your performance. Innovate, explore and try new genres - this versatile set will reward you with articulate voicings.
