The Korena take

Built in Japan, the MJ San Dimas Style 1 HSS FR E combines a chambered alder solidbody with an oil-finished maple bolt-on neck and ebony compound-radius fingerboard. Its Seymour Duncan JB bridge humbucker and two Custom Flat Strat single-coils run through a five-way switch for the listed pickup combinations. With 24 jumbo frets, a sculpted heel, and a Gotoh double-locking tremolo, it is arranged for upper-fret lead work, chord parts, bends, and heavy tremolo use.
