If the golden era of 1980s hard rock had a physical form, it would be the Charvel Jake E Lee Signature San Dimas HSS. This guitar is a meticulous celebration of Jake’s famous blue burst model, reimagined for players who demand uncompromised performance and stage presence. It puts the ferocious, arena-shaking attitude of vintage hard rock right in your hands — no time machine required. You get the blistering playability Charvel is famous for, paired with a pickup configuration that barks, bites, and sings on command.
Tones That Triumph
A great guitar needs to roar, and this signature model delivers a masterclass in tonal aggression and articulation. The custom-curated HSS pickup configuration is engineered to handle massive walls of gain while retaining crystalline string clarity. It’s a versatile beast that thrives in the heavy, high-gain habitat but cleans up beautifully when you roll the volume back.
Seymour Duncan JB Bridge Pickup: This legendary humbucker delivers the perfect blend of sweet, warm overtones and aggressive, distorted punch, making your riffs sound absolutely massive.
DiMarzio SDS-1 Single-Coils: Located in the neck and middle positions, these single-coils are supercharged for extra gain, giving you a deeper, darker tone that slices right through a dense mix.
Streamlined Controls: A no-nonsense single volume knob and a 5-way blade switch keep your focus on the fretboard, offering a wide variety of tonal possibilities without complex routing.
A Neck That Plays as Fast as It Looks
Charvel wrote the book on high-performance necks, and this guitar reads like a masterclass in fast, fluid playability. The neck is built to withstand the rigors of heavy touring while offering a playing surface that practically begs for rapid-fire runs and wide, soulful bends. It is a neck designed to get out of your way and let your fingers do the talking.
Graphite-Reinforced Maple Neck: The bolt-on 1-piece maple neck is reinforced with graphite, ensuring rock-solid stability against temperature and humidity changes.
Compound Radius Fingerboard: The 12”-16” compound radius rosewood fingerboard flattens out as you move up the neck, making complex chords comfortable near the nut and wide bends effortless up high.
22 Jumbo Frets: Dig in deep with 22 jumbo frets, offering incredible string control, massive sustain, and perfect intonation for your most ambitious solos.
Hardware You Can Trust
A high-performance engine needs a rock-solid chassis. The hardware on the Jake E Lee Signature San Dimas is locked down, bolted tight, and ready for abuse. From aggressive rhythm playing to frantic lead work, this guitar stays in tune and resonates with authority.
Resonant Alder Body: The classic San-Dimas alder body provides a balanced, resonant foundation, pushing a rich, full-bodied acoustic tone before you even plug it in.
Charvel Hardtail Bridge: Ditching the tremolo for a rock-solid hardtail bridge maximizes tuning stability and anchors your string vibrations directly into the body for enhanced sustain.
Locking Tuners: Premium Charvel locking tuning machines make string changes a breeze and ensure your tuning holds strong, no matter how hard you hit the strings.
The Ultimate Hard Rock Machine
The Charvel Jake E Lee Signature San Dimas HSS Guitar is a masterfully crafted tool for musicians who need speed, stability, and face-melting tone. It captures the soul of 80s shred while offering the modern reliability demanded by today's gigging guitarists. Plug it in, turn it up, and let your fingers fly.
