Charvel Announces New Marco Sfogli Signature Model

Charvel Announces New Marco Sfogli Signature Model

Charvel unveils its new collab with guitarist Marco Sfogli.


Charvel unveils its new collaboration with PFM and Icefish guitarist Marco Sfogli. To pay homage to a guitarist whose sonic capabilities seem to know no bounds, Charvel has sought out to create a signature instrument as limitless as the player who inspired it. A pair of active EMG SA single-coils in the middle and neck positions effortlessly evoke classic Stratocaster bell tones, while an EMG ‘89 bridge humbucker provides a powerful bite. The signature model’s bolt-on maple neck has received a unique “caramelized” heat and drying treatment that imbues the wood with a warmth and comfort that is usually unique to expensive vintage instruments.

Key Features:

  • ​Alder body with quilted maple top
  • Scalloped lower back bout and cut heel
  • Bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement, 22 jumbo frets, and Luminlay side dot inlays.
  • EMG SA single-coil neck and middle pickups, EMG ‘89 humbucking bridge pickup.
  • Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo bridge system
  • Five-way blade pickup selector, tone control, and volume control with push/pull coil splitting capabilities for the bridge pickup.

Milkman’s Jerry Garcia-style JG-40 combo.

Grateful Dead-inspired gear from Milkman and Scarlet Fire helps to keep the guitarist’s sound alive.

Guitar players wanting to catch the Grateful Dead’s particular lightning in a bottle exist along a spectrum. Some are content to take inspiration from Jerry Garcia’s playing but make their own way regarding guitar choice and signal path. Others strive to emulate Garcia’s sonic decisions down to the most minor details and create signal paths as close to Jerry’s as possible. In recent years, an ecosystem of gear has developed around fostering Jerry Garcia’s electric tone, including everything from guitars, amps, and stompboxes to on-board preamps and speakers.
