Charvel is a brand of guitar originally founded in the 1970s by Wayne Charvel in Azusa, California and then later, Glendora, California. Charvel popularized custom revamps of the Fender Stratocaster design – often consisting of a Strat-shaped body with a single humbucking pickup and Fender style tremolo bridge systems. This modernized Stratocaster configuration (commonly referred to as the superstrat) was particularly well suited to the heavy metal genre of music. Charvel guitars became renowned for its use of creative graphics, unfinished maple necks, and various innovative appointments.
