Alder body, quilt maple top, maple neck and fingerboard, and HSH-configured Seymour Duncan pickups.
Boasting vibrant style with chrome hardware, the Charvel MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSH FR M QM features an alder body with a rippling quilt maple top and sculpted shredder’s cut heel. The bolt-on maple neck features graphite reinforcement, a slick hand-rubbed oil finish on the back and heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. Its 12"-16" compound radius maple fingerboard has comfortable rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and black dot inlays.
An HSH configuration gives this fine instrument its distinctive and versatile 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 neck humbucker delivers articulate, glassy treble response that balances well with a full but tight low end.
The MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSH FR M QM hosts other premium appointments including a 5-way blade switch for endless tonal variations, volume control, no-load tone control, Gotoh GE1996T Series double-locking tremolo, and Gotoh die-cast tuners.
Harkening back to the late ’80s when Charvel guitars were manufactured exclusively in Japan, the MJ Series is 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.
