French avant-metal quartet Gojira has cemented itself as
one of paramount metal acts of the new-millennium. Led
by singer, vocalist, and principal songwriter Joe Duplantier,
the band has always dealt in extremes — uncovering light
in darkness and finding beauty in heaviness while also
searching to expand the sonic palette. Charvel® proudly
honors Duplantier with a distinctively elegant and ferocious
signature model worthy of those musical pursuits.
Designed with the latest in Charvel high performance, the
Joe Duplantier Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas® Style 2 HH
E Mahogany captures all of his preferred style and specs,
including all-new pickups. A big fan of DiMarzio’s PAF® 36th
Anniversary neck pickup, Duplantier sought something with a
slightly more robust low end for his bridge pickup. The all-new
Joe Duplantier signature DiMarzio® Fortitude™ humbucking
bridge pickup completely respond to his needs — from
crushing, heavy riffs to beautiful open soundscapes and
everything in between. Combined with the PAF, these pickups
deliver vintage tone with a twist.
A raw beauty, the San Dimas body is crafted out of mahogany
with a specially contoured heel for easy access to the upper
reaches of the fingerboard. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on
mahogany neck refuses to budge, despite heavy touring
and dramatic climate changes. The heel-mount truss rod
adjustment wheel makes neck relief tweaks a breeze, while
the oiled finish on the back of the neck provides smooth
playability. Built for speed, the 12”-16” compound radius
ebony fingerboard has 22 jumbo frets with pearloid big block
inlays.
Other features include three-way toggle pickup switching,
knurled volume control knob in special placement slightly
back from playing position, Charvel compound radius
compensated bridge with anchored tailpiece and Charvel
locking tuners.
Built to take a pounding while delivering pulverizing tone, this
signature axe is also easy on the eyes with its Natural finish,
chrome hardware, worn nickel pickup bobbins and licensed
Fender® Telecaster® headstock.
