Charvel introduces the Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San Dimas SD24 CM, a guitar that blends Charvel's unparalleled legacy of designing high-performance instruments with an assortment of Govan's preferred top-end features. Guthrie Govan's collaboration with Charvel has resulted in the creation of this exquisite model, harkening back to the late '80s when Charvel guitars were exclusively manufactured in Japan.
This 25.5" scale guitar features a San Dimas basswood body with an ash top and specially contoured heel (sans neck plate) for easy access to the upper reaches of the fingerboard. The bolt-on maple neck has a
"caramelized" heat and drying treatment that makes it sound and feel much older, along with graphite reinforcement, satin finish on the back of the neck and a conveniently located heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel. Most unusually for a San Dimas model, the 12"-16" compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard features 24 jumbo stainless-steel frets, as well as creme dot inlays and Luminlay side dots.
Other premium features include three specially wound Charvel custom pickups arranged in a versatile HSH configuration with five-way switching for the expansive tonal openness and dynamic sensitivity that Govan demands, along with a two-way mini toggle switch to engage single-coilsimulation in bridge and neck humbucker positions. This instrument also comes loaded with two Luminlay numbered dome control knobs for volume and tone, recessed Charvel locking tremolo bridge with pop-in tremolo arm and brass block, Gotoh die-cast locking tuners and Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut.
The Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San Dimas SD24 CM is available in a stately Three-Tone Sunburst finish, complete with chrome hardware, brown pickup bobbins and a licensed Fender Stratocaster headstock..

I did buy this Guitar brand new about a week ago, but I acquired a used USA model so I can’t keep them both as much as I’d love to. I probably only use this thing a half a dozen times it’s amazing but I wanted the USA model. This Guitars stays in tune, even using the whammy bar. Definitely a great guitar.
shipping USA only to lower 48 states comes with a guitar in the original case which is like a cloth based hard case.
