The Charvel Guthrie Govan Signature MJ San Dimas SD24CM 3-Tone Sunburst convinces as a signature guitar of the outstanding English guitar virtuoso with optimal playing characteristics and a versatile sound spectrum for modern fusion styles. The Japanese-built electric guitar is constructed with carefully matched tonewoods, which are perfectly set off by the pleasantly grippy
The Charvel MJ San Dimas Guthrie Govan has been designed with both optimal playing characteristics and a resonant sound. The beautiful ash-top linden body features the Shredder's Cut Heel, which guarantees unobstructed access to the highest registers of the bolt-on Roasted Maple neck. To ensure that even complex solos and unusual chord voicings come out of your fingers with ease, the neck not only features a handy Speed Neck profile, but also a compound fingerboard radius. While the stainless steel jumbo fretting makes bendings glide like on rails, fluorescent Luminlay side dots provide optimal orientation on the fingerboard.
The electric tone conversion of the Charvel MJ Guthrie Govan Signature guitars takes over a HSH setup, whose sound character was optimally tuned to the detailed sound ideas of the British virtuoso. The Custom humbuckers on neck and bridge as well as the Custom single-coil in middle position convince with an incomparable open sound and a sensitive dynamic, so that every nuance in the guitar playing is realized. The 5-way blade switch selects the pickups in the usual manner, whereby the individually selected humbuckers can be switched to single-coils by means of a Minis switch. The volume and tone controls with fluorescent lettering and the position markers embedded in the top also prove to be a practical aid when adjusting the tone.
Last but not least, the Guthrie Govan Signature San Dimas from the Charvel MJ Series features a carefully selected hardware setup that handles tough jobs on the road with ease and unwavering reliability. The compact Charvel Locking Tremolo allows for pitch shifts up and down thanks to undercutting. The brass block also supports the electric guitar's premium tone. Behind the Graph Tech TUSQ XL saddle, Gotoh locking tuners provide high tuning stability.
