Wish it was back: Charvel USA Std San Dimas

This pic was taken off an old Charvel catalogue, I've disposed the original copy, managed to snap a pic of it.

The USA Standard San Dimas was a simple guitar with non-locking hardware & a single humbucker. It would really entice the no-nonsense players who thrives on such limitations, Alan Holdsworth is one of them. I have a definite interest in single humbucking guitars; to a certain extent, it helps me focus on my ideas & playing more than the need to make sure the preferred pickup is employed to manifest the 'right' tone.

The current crop of Charvel guitars are mostly locking units & the range on offer isn't as expansive as they used to be.
