KHEPRI series
Khepri 2016
Khepri brings the bolt-on platform back to the main Marvit lineup with some significant updates. Khepri series have traditional body combination of mahogany back and maple top with a bolt-on maple neck and rosewood fretboard. The neck sports a Pattern Thin carve and satin nitro finish for a natural, addictive feel. The electronics consist of a volume and tone control with 5-way schaller selector switch (auto split) for a greater versatility.

5. Strap-Lock
Schaller Security Lock - Superb materials and outstanding quality define Shaller as a worldwide market leader.
6. Machine Head
Schaller M6 Locking: With this tuner the string is locked in the shaft by a handy knurled nut located on the rear of the peghead, resulting in a low overall height. 6-in-line models with two different shaft lengths (staggered). Gear ratio 1:16.
7. Nut
High quality bone nut to create the most consistent tone, string balance and precise string spacing.
8. Pickups
Neck) Seymour Duncan SCR-1N: Great sounding neck humbucker tone that fits into the single coil slot of your Strat, the Cool Rails neck delivers an articulate and full sound as any full sized humbucker.
Mid) Seymour Duncan SHR1n middle: The Hot Rails neck model uses a strong ceramic magnet and overwound coils to deliver big sounding, well balanced humbucker tones for rock and metal.
Bridge) TB 4 JB Trembucker: The JB Model humbucker is the most popular pickup of all time. Blues, country, fusion, punk, hard rock, grunge, thrash. The low end is full and powerful, the highs are crispy and detailed and there’s an upper-midrange bump that adds crunch and chunk to heavy chords but translates to a singing, vocal-like quality when you play single notes or solos. Meanwhile the hot output pushes your amp just that little bit harder for more sustain and harmonics.
9. Bridge
Schaller Tremolo Vintage: The baseplate of hardened steel and the solid spring block ensures an outstanding sustain. Roller bridge saddles fix the strings in their optimum position.
