Acclaimed jazz/fusion solo guitarist, producer and songwriter Prashant Aswani has long mesmerized audiences with his distinctive guitar voice, and Charvel honors the inimitable guitarist with the stunning all-new Prashant Aswani Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 HH 2PT RW—a model that offers custom specs at an attainable price. Crafted from alder for full and balanced tone, the body features a scalloped lower back bout and sculpted shredder’s cut heel for enhanced comfort and unencumbered upper-fret access. The graphite-reinforced bolt-on maple neck is rock-solid, and has a 12"-radius rosewood fingerboard with comfortable rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets and 1.653" Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel and Luminlay side dots are additional game-changers for all touring musicians. 


A big fan of vintage PAF pickups, Aswani worked with the Charvel product team to design the Charvel PA28 humbucking pickup set. Featuring alnico 3 magnets for evenly balanced tone, these dynamic and touch-sensitive pickups sound equally impressive both clean and distorted. Glassy, chiming cleans with woody undertones are ideal for single-note R&B funk lines, while added delay or reverb churns out lush chords. With gain, these pickups soar with rich overtones and harmonics while remaining articulate yet smooth—perfect for the modern- high gain players and vintage players for keeping dynamics and articulation for rhythm and lead playing alike.


Flexible tonal command is at your fingertips with a five-way blade pickup switch and skirted Strat-style volume and tone knobs, with Dunlop Super Pots for smooth volume swells and accidental tone shifting prevention. For dynamic and expressive tremolo action, Aswani chose a Wilkinson WVS1302P 2-point bridge with locking saddles and pop-in tremolo arm. Decked out in a mesmerizing Inca Silver finish with matching headstock, the Prashant Aswani Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Style also features a white pickguard and all-chrome hardware, including the staggered Charvel-branded locking tuners.
