A San Dimas Fit for an Aristocrat Whether he’s tearing it up onstage with the Aristocrats, lighting up his fretboard on YouTube, or injecting Hans Zimmer’s compositions with 6-string muscle, Guthrie Govan is in a league of his own.

The Guthrie Govan SD24 is centered around an ash-topped basswood San Dimas-style body, with a graphite-reinforced maple neck, a sculpted shredder’s heel, and a compound-radius fingerboard to ensure maximum playability.
