Charvel SMJ San Dimas Style 1 HSH FR M Caribbean Burst
DESCRIPTION
Harkening back to the late '80s when Charvel® guitars were manufactured exclusively in Japan, we introduce 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.
Boasting vibrant style in a cascading Caribbean Burst finish 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, 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 five-way blade switch for endless tonal variations, no-load tone control, volume knob (with Bourns® low-friction pot), Gotoh® GE1996T Series double-locking tremolo, Gotoh die-cast tuners and more

INDIVIDUALLY PHOTOGRAPHED
After 15 years of innovation in our photography process, Ish Guitars has developed a way to get you the most accurate true-to-life color of every instrument we sell. We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.
