Charvel Super-Stock San Dimas Diamond Life

The Charvel Super-Stock San Dimas Diamond Life is a stripped down high energy rock guitar built for players who demand speed stability and unapologetic attitude. From its resonant alder body and ebony fingerboard snap to its Floyd Rose tremolo, this guitar thrives in high gain environments while still offering enough control and clarity for classic rock tones. It is a modern shred weapon with deep roots in eighties riff rock culture and real world performance demands.

Kramer Pacer Deluxe 87 EMG: Flip Flop Fury

The Kramer Pacer Deluxe 87 EMG takes everything we want from the original late-’80s hot-rodded classic and gives it a modern pulse. With EMG 89/SA/SA pickups, a thick maple neck, and Floyd Rose action, this guitar blends vintage flash with current muscle. It’s a proper shred machine that reminds the world why Kramer ruled the Sunset Strip.
