Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature San Dimas SD24 Guitar for sale - BRAND NEW! Guthrie Govan's popularity has exploded after being picked up by Hans Zimmerman and touted as the best guitarist alive by Rick Beato. Guthrie lives local to our studio, and it was our engineer who put on a small live show featuring Guthrie and sax maestro Zak Barrett for the return of live music after the pandemic lockdown. That footage was seen by hundreds of thousands of people around the world on our YouTube channel , including Rick Beato, who declared Guthrie to be the scariest player in the world after watching the footage!

Why choose Japan to build his most innovative and premium signature guitar? Guthrie tells us himself: He has been to Japan many times and appreciate their culture that prioritizes things being done properly, including building a world-class guitar to perfection.

This 25.5" scale guitar features a San Dimas basswood body with an ash top and specially contoured heel (sans neck plate) for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard. The bolt-on maple neck has a "caramelized" heat and drying treatment that makes it sound and feel much older, along with graphite reinforcement, satin finish on the back of the neck and a conveniently located heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. Most unusually for a San Dimas model, the 12"-16" compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard features 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets, as well as crème dot inlays and Luminlay side dots.

Other premium features include three specially wound Charvel custom pickups arranged in a versatile HSH configuration with five-way switching for the expansive tonal openness and dynamic sensitivity that Govan demands, along with a two-way mini toggle switch to engage single-coil simulation in bridge and neck humbucker positions. This instrument also comes loaded with two Luminlay numbered dome control knobs for volume and tone, recessed Charvel locking tremolo bridge with pop-in tremolo arm and brass block, Gotoh die-cast locking tuners and Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut.
