The JEL’s Seymour Duncan JB SH-4 humbucking bridge pickup and slanted single-coil DiMarzio SDS-1 middle and neck pickups offer powerful warmth and punch.

With a super-slim maple neck and a 12-16-inch compound radius rosewood fingerboar­d with rolled edges, the JEL encourages comfort and nimble playabilit­y.

The Satchel’s solitary volume control features push/pull activation for two different voicings on the active Fishman Fluence Classic humbuckers.

Sporting a 12-16-inch compound radius all-maple neck with rolled edges and 22 jumbo frets, the Satchel is geared toward dexterous fret burning.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

The refreshed Charvel Jake E Lee and Satchel Signature ProMod guitars are lean, mean sixstring machines with streetleth­al tones and looks that kill.
