Legacy Meets Performance

Harkening back to Charvel's late '80s, Japanese-built solidbody electric guitars, the MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M is a high-performance instrument reflecting a powerful, decades-long legacy. The MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M's contoured alder body produces a sublime, balanced-sounding acoustic tone. This axe was built to be played, boasting a comfortable maple Speed neck and a lightning-fast 24-fret compound-radius fingerboard with smooth rolled edges. No matter what tone you're aiming for, the MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M's HSS complement of Seymour Duncan pickups is willing to accommodate you. And when the time is right for some whammy abuse, this San Dimas's double-locking Gotoh GE1996T tremolo will be up to the challenge. Players on the prowl for a serious performer with top-end features and a stunning, head-turning finish need to look no further than the Charvel MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M.

Built for muscular, no-compromise rock

From the first time you lay eyes on the MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M, you'll get it: this axe screams muscular, no-compromise rock 'n' roll. Like all guitars built from alder, this solidbody electric produces a balanced acoustic tone, with equal helpings of lows, mids, and highs that maximize the sound of your pickups. Its bolt-on Speed neck features an easy-playing hand-rubbed oiled finish, while its lightning-fast compound-radius fingerboard boasts rolled edges and 24 jumbo-sized frets. The MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M sports a classic Strat-style headstock.

A killer pickup combination for killer tones

For most players, tone is everything, especially when buying a stock guitar. That's why Charvel loaded this axe with Seymour Duncan JB TB-4 and SSL-6 pickups in a sonically versatile HSS configuration. For extra tonal variation, the humbucker is equipped with coil-splitting abilities, unleashing everything from glassy chime to hot-rodded crunch to blistering leads. The Charvel MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M is a sleek musical machine, and it's waiting for you right here at Sweetwater.

Twisting, bending, and dive-bombing

Adventurous guitarists who want to unlock their full potential need an instrument that can accommodate the full gamut of playing techniques but with steadfast reliability. That's why the MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M includes a recessed Gotoh GE1996T double-locking tremolo. Thanks to the 1996, you can dive-bomb, shriek, squeak, and flutter all you want, and you'll experience rock-solid response and tuning stability. Whether you use or abuse it, you'll have trouble knocking the MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR M out of tune.
