The Charvel Jake E. Lee San Dimas is the signature superstrat of the Ozzy Osbourne and Badlands guitarist, echoing the Charvel-decaled Fender Strat he made famous in the 1980s. It is a Strat-style HSS guitar with a fast neck and a hardtail bridge, voiced for cutting, dynamic hard rock and metal lead and rhythm. Combining single-coil clarity in the middle and neck with a hot humbucker in the bridge, it delivers both glassy bite and aggressive crunch, suiting Lee's expressive, blues-tinged metal style. It leans bright and articulate, rewarding a cranked Marshall and a player who relies on touch and dynamics.
The Dean Michael Schenker V is a professional signature model based on Michael Schenker's preferred Flying V design, featuring a bolt-on maple neck, Jatoba fingerboard with pearl dot inlays, and basswood body. The guitar combines dual DMT Design high-output humbucking pickups with a 24.75 inch scale length, 12-inch fretboard radius, and 22 jumbo frets in a C-shaped neck profile. Hardware includes Grover tuners and a Tune-O-Matic bridge optimized for stable intonation and solid sustain. Designed for hard rock and metal applications where robust, punchy tone and fast playability are essential.
