Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT M

Why we say this

Charvel list a direct-mount Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 in the bridge of the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT M (2965063576), so this is the same pickup model the guitar ships with. Charvel fit it in parchment on this model; this record is the black version, which only changes the look. Duncan make Trembuckers with 52.6mm pole spacing on slightly larger bobbins and baseplate than a standard humbucker, so a like-for-like Trembucker is the safe choice for this route. Reuse the existing mounting screws and springs. Four-conductor cable, so the coil split positions on the five-way switch keep working.

Why we say this

Charvel list Charvel-branded die-cast locking tuners on the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT M but don't publish the hole size. Modern sealed and locking tuners like these normally sit in 10mm holes. Gotoh's SG381-07 MG-T locking set (SG381-07 MGT L6 CB) is sold for 10mm holes, and each tuner is fixed with one screw set at 45 degrees to the post, so if your tuners use guide pins or a screw in a different spot you may need to drill one small pilot hole per tuner. The stock tuners already lock, so this is a quality and feel upgrade rather than a new feature. Take one tuner off and check the hole and where the screw or pins sit before ordering.

Graph Tech make this set (PRL-9721-C0) for 13/32 inch (10mm) holes, with a two-pin casing and InvisoMatch plates included to use the screw holes left by common factory tuners. Graph Tech stagger the post heights so a flat headstock doesn't need a string tree. Take one tuner off and check the hole and where the screw or pins sit before ordering.
