Given his work with artists like James LaBrie, PFM, and Icefish, Marco Sfogli's technical skills call for high-performance tools, which is precisely why he’s partnered with Charvel for his signature Pro-Mod So-Cal Style 1 electric guitar. This powerful six-string is a persuasive collection of top-tier hardware, pickups, and tonewoods, with a few signature Sfogli touches that distinguish it from the usual S1 series. A solid alder body delivers the classic sound of California-inspired guitar engineering with added tonal richness and beauty from a quilt maple top. Meanwhile, a caramelized maple neck and fingerboard deliver high-octane playability turbo charged by an ultra-thin Charvel Speed Neck profile, three fiery EMG active pickups, and a compound fingerboard radius for improved verticality. Metalheads love this guitar's modified volume knob placement — it's located right next to the bridge where Marco likes it, enabling rapid volume swells and quick dynamic shifts at a moment's notice.
