Legacy Meets High Performance
Reflecting a powerful, decades-long legacy, the MJ So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR M pays heed to Charvel's late-'80s, Japanese-built axes. This solidbody electric guitar brandishes a contoured alder body, yielding an ear-grabbing, balanced-sounding acoustic tone. The MJ So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR M's HSS is a true player's delight by virtue of its comfortable maple Speed neck, hand-cradling shredder's heel, and lightning-fast 24-fret compound-radius fingerboard with smooth rolled edges. This high-performance guitar covers the full spectrum of tones by way of its flexible complement of Seymour Duncan pickups. And when the time is right for some whammy abuse, this So-Cal's double-locking Gotoh GE1996T tremolo will be more than up to the task. Players hunting for a serious performer with top-end features and a stunning look need to look no further than the Charvel MJ So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR M.
