THE ELECTRIC GUITAR industry’s equivalent of a hot rod speed shop, the original Charvel work shop in Azusa started out selling aftermarket accessories to help discriminating players improve the performance of their instruments. In addition to becoming the birthplace of the Super Strat, Charvel also transitioned to building its own high-performance instruments with custom features. That spirit remains alive today in Charvel’s Pro-Mod series, which offers a tantalizing selection of hot-rodded guitars with innovative design elements. In the past, instruments of this nature commanded expensive custom shop prices, but two new Charvel Pro-Mod Series models — the DK24 HSH 2PT CM and SoCal Style 2 24 HH HT CM — deliver the goods without a wallet-emptying price tag.

New Jersey derives much of its water from New York’s Catskill Mountains. Low in calcium and magnesium, it’s a naturally soft water that’s ideally suited for bread flour. And, of course, that means it’s also a crucial component in the making of New Jersey pizza, which everybody knows is the best in the United States. (Oh, you wanna argue about it? How about this? Fuggedaboudit!)
