“Scrapes and dings that let you know this axe has been around the block a few times”: Charvel gives its hot-rodded So Cal Superstrat the heavy relic treatment – and it won’t just appeal to shredders

Charvel Super-Stock So-Cal Style 1 HSH FR RW.

Charvel has added a premium and limited-edition electric guitar to its prized So Cal collection, and beyond its heavily relic’d finish is an instrument boasting “the authentic look and feel of a well-loved guitar” fresh out the box.

The Super-Stock So-Cal Style 1 HSH FR RW is offered in what’s left of an Arctic White colorway, which peels away to reveal an alder body as part of a bold (and incredibly likeable) heavy relic treatment.
