Charvel Pro Mod DK 24 HSH 

Please make a comparison between Ibanez az and that's charvel, especially compare the neck feel

Just a note to let you know that I really loved the Pickup Configuration Graphics. I usually look to try to see but this makes it so much easier to follow along while being able to pay more attention to what you are doing. Nice job, as always!

I purchased one in pink, loved it so much I turned around and bought the orange one with the different pickup combination. I think these guitars are truly amazing! The bang for your buck is outstanding and they play beautiful!

'Roasted maple' - sounds so good it make my mouth water.

Man, I did NOT have a clue how intense the effect of the pot on the tone of the guitar is. That vid was very informative, thank you sir!

That bridge pickup sounds wonderful.

Phil, after seeing Anderton's review them earlier this year I had to have one. The perfect superstrat

More than a thousand likes. Can't wait to see the A/B comp! 🤘🏼

Oh man split bridge and middle sound amazing

Trying to play when I can ... but always don't. Your playing has way improved over the last couple of years ... and is inspiring. Still giving it hell when I can.

Liked the video before it even started... thank you for the great content

My Suhr Classic S Antique is going to be here Thursday so this unboxing helps to tide me over til then 😍

I played this guitar, I would say one of my favorites and if I had the money I would get it immediately. The neck is superb. I would love to have this guitar with the Brian May switching system. I would do for both humbuckers push-pull to coil split and one 3 way switch for each pickup --> off-parallel-series and another one for in-phase-out-of-phase. That would make a lot of different sounds. I hope this comments gets a lot of likes and Phillip would do a Sharpen My AXE on this one.

I love the high end, beautiful guitar.

I've noticed there are 2 different ones, like them both.Thanks for the vid Phil!

That clean tone with the funk riff was very good

I've been eyeing on these Charvel models for some time now. They are cool looking and I would love to own them some day.

I just ordered the HH version with the coil tap in the blue matte finish and I'm so excited.

Just bought a Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HH and can't get over the quality of this guitar. its near perfect.

As always Super Cool Review and Demo Phil

I don't know if it's just the amp, the guitar or both but man that tone is KILLER!!!!!

I fully agree Army Green is now the official color for that guitar. Gotta have it. 🤘

Bought the same guitar. Great lead guitar option, because the frets are big, and got a nice contour on the neck joint that makes it super comfortable in the upper register, and it's just got some cutting tones.

Sounds great.

The new music on the intro is cool man.

Sounds great Phil.

I have the Orange Crush version and it's great. Sounds great, feels great, looks great, these guitars are killer value for money. It's funny though, the features I didn't care about at all when I bought it, the Bournes low friction volume pot and the no-load tone control are some of the most useful. I'm going to find it hard to do without them if I ever find a replacement fusion/shred style guitar.

That guitar looks awesome!

Awesome Charvel!

That neck looks huge! I'm sold! A R M Y Green!!

looks great sounds sweet !

I have the 2020 Charvel DK24 purple sunset HSS with floyd rose. 10/10 for the price. Flawless build quality, sounds excellent even unplugged , serious sustain and such an addictive neck profile. Cant put it down!

I love mine! Best guitar I've owned so far.

I have the same guitar. I love it ! Once I played it had to have it.

A couple of years back I had an idea to build a rear routed Tele type guitar, with a Maple neck, and colour matched headstock (or refin a Fender/Squier Tele) in Olive Drab with white knobs. Nice to know it would be as beautiful as I thought it would be. I love your Charvelle. Such a gorgeous guitar. They should have painted the exposed wood behind the backplate white as well.

My favorite feature of this guitar is the cable plug placement on the back of the body!

AMS has good closeouts from time to time. I got my kramer pacer vintage metal flake green for real cheap during close out. I like that OD green charvel

I like your shirt that reads.”know your gear!” Congrats for getting a nice charvel guitar, it sounds nice. ✌️

I Love Both Intro Songs !

Great guitar I love my new charvel

I usually don't like solid colored guitars, but being an Army vet as well....wow, I love that color!

They have kept the licensing agreement in place in case they sell off that part of the company, great guitar congrats Phillip.sound fab

Phil unboxing for breakfast. It’s gonna be a good day.

that guitar looks killer.

Very versatile guitars!!

I really dig the fact that Charvel & Jackson are both still being made. The more brands we have to choose from the greater the chance of finding "The One" is. Least that's my story and I'm sticking to it. Great video Phil!

Cool guitar love the color

I like how you put up the Tagima Jet Blues =]

I’m new to tha channel,I didn’t know CHARVEL did Roasted necks crazy!Thought they only made them in the U.S. thank you!

Ranger Green. Gotta love it

Nice guitar. Thanks.

Thanks for the review! I was contemplating buying the orange hsh version the day you posted this!! I had a glue failure in my acoustic Ibanez alt 30 gc pro plan gave me my cash back! " well in the form of GC gift card! $318 I traded my charvel desolation ds one and the $318 for it open box I got it for $699! Thanks for video as it was one of my final factors in decision! I would like to see companies to a similar jackson dnky or an 80s version of the same style 80s model maybe could involve the Tone King!

Ibanez since I am a Ibanez guy thanks Phil cheers from KC MO !!

Have you been taking guitar lessons? It seems like you are playing 1000X better than when I first started watching your videos. Nice!!!

About the black dots on the maple necks you mentioned, there was a video I think it was that fluff guy, he bought glowon that goes on gun sights and dabbed it on the black dots and they glow in the dark and make them easy to see its really cool. I was hesitant to get a black dot one but I'm using that trick now

EXTRA points for the Victorinox!!!

Compare it to the harley benton fusion hsh... great video. Its great that you showed the pickup config while playing. Every tester should do that. 👍

I have the HH version. An absolute dream to play. Only criticism I have is that even when coils are split, it doesn't sound quite as dynamic and popping as a real fender strat. But it's still fantastic.

SUch a good guitar!!! I love mine.

As a guy who loves strats Ithink this might be my go to humbucker guitar.

sweet guiatr love the army green

Charvel DK24 is an awesome guitar.

This is the ultimate superstrat IMO

Loved it

I accidentally bought a Charvel Desolation DC-1 a few years ago and I don't play any of my other 5 six string electrics any more. I went into a guitar store because I was about to start building a guitar and I wanted inspiration for an unusual but not outlandish body shape, and I saw it and wondered how it felt because it looked cool. I picked it up plugged it into a Marshall, started playing, and after about 45 seconds I called my wife to apologize for the fact that I was about to spend all of our money. It's the only time in my life that I have bought something when going into a store with no intention of buying anything, and it was absolutely worth it.

between this and the premium Ibanez AZs, i can't think of many other guitars to buy for a "modern" style guitar player who wants a budget guitar that will gig and last forever. This DK24 seems very much inspired by the Charvel Guthrie Govan signature model (2 point trem with no locking nut, HSH with i think the same switching options as the Guthrie Govan, and a roasted maple neck). i'm very tempted to find one to compliment by AZ224

Great demo brother. 👍 Possibly needs more bells 😂😂😂 Missing you dude.

Hello Phillip. Nice color choice and sounds great. I don't own that manufacture of guitar but just about everything in my studio comes from American Musical Supply. They are great people to deal with . I have some from Chicago Music exchange and reverb, but the customer service there is not as good as AMS. Great video.

I 🖤 OD green...

That whooooooole thing looks F@#KIN SICK!!!!! 🤘🏼😲🤘🏼

Love everything about thst guitar except the midfle pickup. But still a killer machine

They should have named that guitar the 4077. :-)

I bought 2 of these from AMS together. One Green and Orange. Had them 2 days and sent them back. I chose them specifically because of the roasted neck for the fact that the necks will be more stable. I humidify properly but still have had issues with other guitars. I ended up sending them back for one reason. They will NOT stay in tune well at all. Because they don't have staggered tuners, it is an issue. The tree makes things worse imo. I almost kept them because they were exactly what I wanted but I wasn't about to pony up for a new set of tuners and replace the nut. For a guitar that tops 1k these issues should have been addressed. I did return them and got 2 dk 24's with floyds, Satin Black. These roasted Charvels almost had it all. AMS is a great company, I have been buying for years and years.

I would’ve loved a left version with a floyd instead of my san Dimas pro mod in black. Absolutely love the color. Woulda gone with black pickups and knobs though!

That's a nice guitar. Still torn on roasted maple. Used to my tinted maple and lightly tinted necks.

Oh my...thats nice!

Looks and sounds a lot like my mid 90’s Jackson Stealth HX Professional. Just yours has the single coil center pick-up and mine has 3 Humbucker (for some reason, the bridge pick up is where the action is, clean or dirty) and also I have no trem, strings go through the body like many of the older Charvels I’ve seen. The neck is stupid thin also, I was intrigued by that so I bough it, like 2001 and still have it. Not my main player but I still like it because it feels so different from my other stuff. They seemed to be all over the map with neck thickness on the Jacksons, even on the same model and similar years. Most are thin and some are VERY thin.

Sounds ceramic.

I'd love to see this guitar in a tele shape too, like suhr modern T. However, I'd love to see a comparison with a Sterling jp 150; they have a roasted neck now!

I love the army green and white pickups. Looks like a jeep. But I was in the navy and the jeeps were battleship grey and white. Like the green better. Awesome guitar

You gotta do the Ibanez AZ Premium -- it's basically a direct competitor and a lot of people, including myself, often pit those two against each other.

that was a sexy sounding guitar bro

Bought several guitars through AMS using their payment plans. Good way to purchase in my opinion.

This is basically a Mexico made version of the Guthrie Govan without the Floyd and stainless frets, and the pickups are similar but not exact. I’ve had a couple of the govans but they had tuning issues any time you really used the trem. The nut wasn’t cut right. QC issue, but also the tremolo-no could bind. More stuff to go wrong basically. The gotoh 510 trem is great. It’s so simple and reliable. I’ve got one on my suhr, which really this guitars combo of woods and the trem originated with John suhr, and of course, Guthrie went to charvel. Only thing it’s really missing is stainless steel frets. Otherwise I think it’s a really great guitar!! That’s my fav color too! Not a fan of the bright white pickup cover, but that’s a small gripe for such a great guitar. Love the roasted maple because it’s rock solid and doesn’t require much truss rod adjustment to keep the action low!

I have the HSS in Primer Grey and I love that neck. It plays easier than my Suhr Modern. The only downside, if any, is the slanted input jack and the nickel frets

I 've tried the HSH and the HH version of these Charvel's. Fantastic instruments! If there was a guitar of the year award, I 'd give it to the Pro-Mod DKs. The roasted neck and fretboard are amazing, the Seymour Duncan Full Shred in the bridge is great and the satin finish feels so nice. I wanted to buy the HH (I couldn't stand the middle pickup in the HSH), but I really hated the available colour options. Hopefully, Charvel will come up with more colours next year.

Once I had this guitar. Feels great and sounds way better than other same price range guitars.. but only one thing, it didn't stay in tune when I used whammy bar.. I did literally everything like taking strings out from the trees, putting nut sauce etc.. so had to return it..

That charvel is sweet.

Both AMS and ZZSounds offers payment plans like that. Pretty handy for getting gear fast.

This is a bit like the Japanese Charvel CX series from 1991-1993 a simple guitar with an awesome neck. Though with 24 frets, a maple fretboard, a better bridge and better pickups.

awesome

Great video. It's good to hear the neck feels more like an old Charvel. Despite people asking about an AZ comparison don't bother. Charvel is cooler than Ibanez every day of the week!😁

I don’t like thin necks, but I like this one, didn’t find it that thin, especially when the jumbo frets are taken into acct.. Also, the clean sounds out of this “shred” guitar are terrific. I have the orange crush version

I compared the HSH to the HH today and was surprised that the HH is a lot more versatile despite no middle pickup. The series/parallel switch allows more convincing "Strat" tones imho.

Ibanez AZ would be a great comparison.

Excellent review! Love the pickup combinations,very much to my taste. I’ve already violated my new year’s resolution to not buy any guitars this year four times (2 Guilds & 2 EVHs),so what’s another indiscretion?😉👍

Sweet axe!

Always wondered why Charvel cold make these so close the Strat style without Fender suing them. + LOVE where they put the jack!

This guitar is on my list. I would disconnect the middle pickup from the main circuit and put it on a seperate toggle switch. This way you can add it only when you want it.

I like.
