Artist Signature Series
As I Lay Dying rhythm guitarist Phil Sgrosso is a formidable creative force behind the Grammy-nominated melodic metalcore act. Snagging MTV's 2007 "Ultimate Metal God", Sgrosso has also contributed his ferocious chops to heavy metal supergroup Wovenwar and toured with Saosin and Slipknot.
In his honor, Charvel presents the Phil Sgrosso Signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 H FR E - a modern take on a classic design.

Overview
Its mahogany body delivers rich and resonant tone for dark, chugging metal and has a scalloped lower back bout and sculpted shredder's cut heel for comfortable and unencumbered upper-fret access.
The bolt-on maple neck is graphite-reinforced to withstand the abuses of worldwide touring, and has a hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish, fluorescent Luminlay® side dots for fingerboard guidance in low light, and a conveniently located heel-mount truss for adjustment wheel for neck tweaks on the fly. Engineered to deliver unrivaled playability, the 12"-16" compound radius ebony fingerboard has a more pronounced curvature across its width near the nut for comfortable chording, and gradually flattens to a very slight curvature toward the upper frets for blazing fast solos and effortless bends. The fingerboard also has rolled fingerboard edges, 22 jumbo frets and offset dot inlays.
A multi-voice Fishman® Fluence® Modern PRF-MHB-AB1 alnico bridge pickup delivers the most sought-after humbucking tones, from a modern active pickup with a full, boosted sound to clean, crisp and fluid tones. The black single speed volume knob functions as a push/pull selector for switching between both voices. Dive bomb away without sacrificing tuning stability, courtesy of a Floyd Rose® 1000 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system.
Sgrosso's signature model is wrapped in an alluring Silverburst finish with a black anodized aluminum pickguard, chrome hardware and a licensed Fender® Strat® headstock with Charvel "toothpaste" logo.
