THE ARISTOCRATS
As a preeminent modern virtuoso, U.K guitar master Guthrie Govan dazzles all who hear his playing. Years of meticulous development between Charvel and Govan resulted in the ultimate ultra-pro guitars.
Harkening back to the late '80s when Charvel guitars were manufactured exclusively in Japan, we proudly introduce the all-new Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San DimasĀ® SD24 CM. Exquisite in style, this MJ signature model blends Charvelās unparalleled legacy of designing high-performance instruments with an assortment of Govanās preferred top-end features.
This 25.5" scale guitar features a San DimasĀ® 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 crĆØme dot inlays and LuminlayĀ® 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-coil simulation 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, GotohĀ® die-cast locking tuners and Graph TechĀ® TUSQĀ® XL nut.
The Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San DimasĀ® SD24 CM is available in a stately Three-Tone Sunburst finish, complete with chrome hardware, brown pickup bobbins and a licensed FenderĀ® StratocasterĀ® headstock.
