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.

Ascending the summit of innovative design for the modern artist, the Charvel MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M features a resonant alder body with a contoured sculpted shredder's cut heel for maximized playing comfort. Built for reliable performance, the bolt-on maple neck features graphite reinforcement, a slick hand-rubbed urethane back finish 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.

A direct mount Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 humbucking bridge pickup radiates unmistakable upper midrange attack with singing highs and an articulate low end, while direct mount Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 middle and neck pickups strike the perfect balance between increased output and dynamic Strat character.

Tonal possibilities are limitless and can be crafted with a five-way blade switch, volume control and no-load tone control, while the recessed Gotoh GE1996T Series double-locking tremolo holds up with excellent tuning stability even under the heaviest of playing. This versatile axe is available in a fiery Metallic Red finish accented with chrome hardware. This versatile axe is available in a fiery Metallic Red finish accented with chrome hardware.
