Charvel recreates Jake E. Lee’s Bark at the Moon/Ultimate Sin-era Blue Burst guitar
Charvel has teamed up with legendary Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Jake E. Lee to recreate the guitar he used throughout Ozzy’s Bark at the Moon and Ultimate Sin album cycles.
Delivering “the same explosive tonal versatility at an accessible price point”, the Jake E Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT RW is built to pay tribute to Lee’s enduring influence on the landscape of 1980s hard rock.

Specs-wise, the guitar sports the same Blue Burst finish the made the original such an iconic piece of six-string eye candy, along with an alder San Dimas body, a Charvel hardtail bridge for maximised sustain, resonance and tuning stability, and an HSS pickup configuration, with a Seymour Duncan JB humbucker in the bridge position, and DiMarzio SDS-1 single coils in the middle and neck positions.

There’s also a bolt-on maple neck with a 12”-16” compound radius fingerboard with 22 medium jumbo frets and white dot inlays, as well as a five-way blade switch and single volume knob, and locking Charvel tuning machines.
“For the signature Charvel, we wanted a more accessible version,” Lee says. “We want to put it in more hands for aspiring guitar players.”
“The Custom Shop has always set the standard for what’s possible, and now we’re bringing that same level of craft to players everywhere,” adds Peter Wichers, Product Manager at Charvel.
“The Pro-Mod Blue Burst captures the exact visual intensity that made Jake’s guitar iconic under the lights, that deep, electric blue finish, that unmistakable presence, but this is Charvel’s moment to put it in the hands of every player who’s been chasing that sound and look.”
The Jake E Lee Signature Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT RW is available now for $1,399/£1,399.
