Harkening back to the late ’80s when Charvel® guitars were manufactured exclusively in Japan, Charvel introduces the all-new MJ Series — an exciting lineup of instruments attentively crafted in Japan. Exquisite in style, the MJ Series blends Charvel’s unparalleled legacy of designing high-performance instruments with an assortment of top-end features and stunning finishes.
The MJ San Dimas® Style 1 HSH FR PF QM is a brazen new model designed for the progressive guitarist seeking a spectrum of sound beyond the norm. The alder body with quilt maple top is wrapped in either a wicked Midnight Glow or lush Transparent Green Burst finish and accented with chrome hardware. Built for speedy playability, the bolt-on maple neck features graphite reinforcement, slick hand-rubbed oil finish on the back and heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. Its 12”-16” compound radius pau ferro fingerboard features comfortable rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and white dot inlays.
An HSH configuration gives this model its distinctive tone. A direct mount Seymour Duncan® JB™ TB-4 humbucking bridge pickup and direct mount Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat® SSL-6 middle pickup radiate unmistakable upper midrange attack with a tight, articulate low end and snappy Strat character. The direct mount Seymour Duncan Jazz SH-2N humbucking neck pickup delivers articulate, glassy treble response that balances well with a full but tight low end.
The MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSH FR PF QM hosts other premium appointments including a five-way blade switch for endless tonal variations, volume control, tone control, Gotoh® GE1996T Series double-locking tremolo, Gotoh die-cast tuners and more.
