About Charvel Guitars

Charvel guitars hail from San Dimas, California. Founder Wayne Charvel began his business supplying high quality replacement necks and bodies before moving into full instrument production. Charvel's hot-rodded Superstrat designs quickly caught on and ended up defining much of what is thought of as an 80s guitar!

Today, Charvel guitar designs remain true to their roots by offering classic San Dimas models and So-Cal guitars with high output pickups, locking Floyd Rose tremolos and loud finishes. Charvel make electric guitars in both the United States (USA Select series) and in Mexico (Pro-Mod series).

Charvel guitars are typified by their slim, fast necks, jumbo frets and loud finishes, though not aggressive styling: almost all Charvel guitars have traditional body shapes. Charvel are a well loved brand and are a popular choice for guitarists with a pro-shred sensibility. Have a look at our Charvel collection right here online or visit us at your local guitarguitar UK store to try one out in person.
