Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Racing Red SD1 HH FR is the tremolo-equipped American Neo-Classic San Dimas option. Its Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, top-mounted on an alder San Dimas Style 1 body, is paired with a Floyd Rose locking nut for stable pitch work. The five-way blade works with Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 bridge and ’59 SH-1N neck humbuckers, covering both full humbucker settings and two mixed-coil combinations. The satin quartersawn maple neck is graphite reinforced, while its compound-radius board carries 22 jumbo stainless-steel frets. A Charvel Multi-Fit hardshell gig bag is included.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Using the tremolo for dive bombs, flutters, and broad vibrato in performance.
- Covering heavy rhythm parts, saturated solos, and cleaner mixed-coil passages.
- Adjusting neck relief at the fingerboard-end truss-rod wheel when changing setups.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who do not want a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo and locking nut.
