This Charvel Custom Shop SD 2H CT in Purple Sparkle is a no-compromise instrument built for players who value serious tone and high-octane performance. Crafted by Charvel’s elite Custom Shop team, this San Dimas-style shred machine melds vintage aesthetics with modern hardware and electronics, delivering a guitar that’s equal parts showpiece and sonic weapon. Its flashy Purple Sparkle finish is pure stage presence, but the build quality and feel reveal the heart of a precision-crafted instrument designed to perform night after night.

At the core of the SD 2H CT is a lightweight alder body paired with a one-piece birdseye maple neck, offering snappy resonance and ultra-smooth playability. The compound-radius fretboard caters to players who demand speed and accuracy, while the classic 25.5" scale length and 1 11/16" bone nut provide familiar comfort and spacing. Under the hood, a pair of active EMG Super 77 humbuckers deliver scorching output, articulate mids, and tight lows — perfect for prog rock, metal, fusion, or any style that thrives on precision and clarity. A  sampling of the gold-plated controls reveals everything from clean glassy tones to searing lead textures.

Charvel’s renowned Custom Shop reputation is on full display here — from the precision fretwork to the high-end hardware and vintage-style licensed Strat headstock. Whether you’re chasing down face-melting solos, intricate prog passages, or high-velocity rhythm riffs, this San Dimas is purpose-built to keep up with the most demanding players. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this dazzling instrument isn’t just flashy — it’s finely tuned, expertly engineered, and fully equipped to handle any high-performance musical environment.
