Charvel SanDimas Versus SoCal @ Fazio's Frets and Friends

http://www.faziosmusic.com Dan Kuse of Fazio's Frets and Friends answering that question that has plagued even the most learned scholars for centuries...what's the tone difference between the Charvel SoCal and SanDimas models? Well kick back and listen to Dan run them through their paces using a Rivera Fandango. Will the SoCal with it's meaty Dimazrios come out on top, or will it be the SanDimas with it's clean and clear Duncans? Well, it's really up to you but one thing for sure...it's hard to beat one of these well built guitars that flat out play like butter.

@sunnyjim98 No doubt. And the Pro Mods are 100 bucks cheaper. Go figure.

[sunnyjim98]

@SpookeyEyeGhost yeah the only thing is, the USA models only come with a gig bag xD the pro mods come with molded SKB Hardcases LOL!!!

[SpookeyEyeGhost]

@sunnyjim98 LOL!! I agree about the USA colors. They def. need a bit more varitey in the Japanese models. These are some really sweet guitars though. If i colud afford it, i would love to get one of each model. Oh well, one can dream . Peace.

@SpookeyEyeGhost i dunno i think the candy colors are nicer lol! especially candy red

i would love if they made the pro mods with the USA models colors! i want a Candy Green or Pagan Gold So Cal!!! lol!

@sunnyjim98 OOOPPPSSS> Ment Tax time. As for color, either the snow white or ferrari red. They only have the candy red and candy blue in stock now, but they said they were waitng for more FR and SW to come in. just have to try both out to see wich one feels bettrer. They are both sweet looking. i just don't like the way the candy colors look. Peace.

@sunnyjim98 You'll love it!!! They should put an SD Screamin Demon and Invader in the San Dimas. I've been annoying the hell out of the guys at Sweetwater music by "Demoing" a So-Cal evfery weekend for the last 3 to 4 months. HEHEHEHE. Taz time is coming, so that will be my next purchase. I think they realize i'm serious about one, so they are cool enough to let me try one with different amps. Nice guys. Peace.

@SpookeyEyeGhost yeah i would lke the san dimas a whole lot more if they used like a SD Invader or something a bit more high gain, i also prefer the chop and clarity of Dimarzios!

im going to try out one of the newer pro mods next saturday, what color are you gonna get?

[SpookeyEyeGhost]

@sunnyjim98 I also prefer the So-Cal, they sound so much richer to me. i think the San Dimas looks great as is. i just don't agree with the pickup choice in them. I do prefer the output jack on the bottom though. Two weeks till i pick up one of the So-Cal badboys. peace.

[sunnyjim98]

i prefer the So Cal, the San Dimas looks really bare to me, and i prefer strat style top mounted jacks! i always destroy cables whn i play on the couch, they dig into the couch and wreck themselves xD

San dimas for me smoother tone in my opinion
