Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built in Japan for high-performance electric playing, the MJ So-Cal Style 1 HSS FR M combines an alder body with a bolt-on maple neck and a sculpted heel for upper-fret access. Its Seymour Duncan HSS setup places a JB TB-4 humbucker at the bridge alongside Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coils in the middle and neck positions. A maple fingerboard moves from a 12-inch radius at the nut to 16 inches at the body end, while 24 jumbo frets and a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo support chord-to-lead transitions and expressive playing.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players moving from chord work into upper-register leads during practice or performance.
- Electric parts that need bridge-humbucker attack alongside middle and neck single-coil options.
- Tremolo-based playing where the Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking bridge is part of the setup.
