From Charvel website:
"Charvel® once again ups the ante for modern high performance combined with elegant style and crushing tone with the Pro-Mod DK24 HSH 2PT CM, a stunning new instrument designed especially for a new breed of player whose musical vision and versatility knows no boundaries.
Its alder body in the classic Dinky™ style is dressed in either a lustrous Satin Orange Crush or a no-nonsense Matte Army Drab finish. The two-piece bolt-on caramelized maple “speed” neck has graphite reinforcement, sculpted heel, heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel, Luminlay side dots and a silky-smooth hand-rubbed urethane finish. Its 12”-16” compound-radius caramelized maple fingerboard features comfortable rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets, pearloid dot inlays and Graph Tech® nut.
Unbelievable full and versatile tone comes from an HSH pickup configuration consisting of a Seymour Duncan® Custom Full Shred SH-10B bridge pickup, Seymour Duncan® Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coil middle pickup and Seymour Duncan® Alnico II Pro APH-1N neck pickup, all with flat parchment covers. Other premium modern features include a five-way blade pickup switch, parchment Stratocaster®-style skirt knobs for the volume (with 500K EVH® Bourns® low-friction potentiometer) and no-load tone controls, Gotoh® Custom 510 tremolo bridge, locking tuners, chrome hardware and more."

This amazing Guitar MUST be giving the Boutigue builders like Anderson and Suhr fits !! lol Not that their guitars aren't absolutely killer, but the value this guitar offers is off the charts!!

@einarabelc5 2 года назад

If the Quality control were like so...you'd have to spend at least 200 bucks on top to get a fret level and setup just to make sure everything is in place.

@kenmasters007 5 лет назад

SW's 55 point inspection.... 1. Is there a guitar in the box. 2. Is it still in one piece. 3.... fill in the blanks...

@Stratisfied22 4 года назад

The string trees cause most of the tuning issues. I changed them to the white Graphtech trees and it made a big difference. Also keeping the nut lubricated is a good idea.

@jazznotes3802 3 года назад

Stratisfied You don’t even need to use the string trees on the Charvel dk24’s. I run my strings above them and the break angle is just perfect. I also use “Big Bends Nut Sauce” on every string contact point. The trem lock-in screws were incredibly loose when it arrived though,. I had to turn them about 10-15 times to lock them down. Other than that everything was perfect!

@frankorobinson1540 Год назад

Just bought a charvel from sweetwater it on the way ,that is not setup that is a oversight that someone missed and that pin not being installed properly should have been noticed, I will be disappointed if I got a new guitar and something like that was overlooked, we shouldn't be paying Sweetwater 300 dollars for a master setup when charvel should be qc ing these to play out of the box ,maybe minor adjustments from Shipping, glad you got it straightened out ,but I will be disappointed if I get my new toy and have to repackage it and wait more weeks ,they should look it over with there 55 point inspection and let us know if something is wrong before sending it to a customer 😉 thats just wasting everyone's time and getting them bad reviews, and charvel should do better theres no way that got qc ed and then checked again by Sweetwater and know one noticed, its pretty obvious to not see that 😉 great video thanks for the heads up on quality control being lacking ✌ ☮.

@dragnasty540 4 года назад

I bought a guitar about a year-and-a-half ago from them and got the Plek service and I will never order again without getting that done! I can't say enough about how good my setup was on my guitars since I've been doing the Plek service from them also! I have that same guitar and even set up it will lose tune a little bit but what helped me out a lot was big Bend's nut sauce, a little bit on the nut and on the Saddles and the thing is always in tune now!

@GuitarLava 4 года назад

Nice! I was going to get the Plek for my new Gibsons but both "were done at the factory" so I didn't. The Gibsons are solid and perfect necks. I wish Fender would learn from them. I know this is a Charvel video.. the ProMod 24 neck is amazing too.

Second review I see with complains about bad assembly, I'm really looking forward to buy this guitar. The other guy on the video was saying that the springs came loose inside of the guitar

@dragnasty540 4 года назад

Hey Rob, I have to disagree. I purchased a Charvel dk24 HSS and I liked it so much that I bought another one in the HSH version. I own many guitars and for $1k I don't believe you will find a better guitar than the dk24

@lloydrummell2509 4 года назад

I just got this model today in the orange crush finish and one of springs wasn't attached to the block, I could hear it rattling under the back plate. It was an easy fix, everything else seems good... so far.

@nelsonfleig5024 5 лет назад

Amazing playing and great demo! Yeah I'm having some issues with mine as well. One spring wasn't even in place and I had to open the back to set it :( Also have some stability and tuning issues. I'll try setting it up myself and see if it helps. Otherwise amazing piece of instrument.

@lloydrummell2509 4 года назад

One of my springs wasn't attached to the block, just hanging in there loose, rattling inside the guitar. It was an easy fix. It was very likely due to it being shipped with little tension on the strings to protect the neck.

@michaelstone7514 4 года назад

Nice playing. I'm thinking about pulling the trigger on one myself. I was concerned about the tuning myself.

@Stratisfied22 4 года назад

Those having tuning problems you need to level the bridge by tightening the springs in the back cavity. The nut slots are super tight on these so lube the nut and or have a luthier cut the nut slots wider so the string doesn't get stuck in the slot while tuning or using the tremolo. And obviously make sure your strings are stretched properly. If the base of the bridge is up too high it won't stay in tune for some reason.

@guyincognito320 Год назад

Also you can shave down the top of the nut so the strings are not fully buried in the slot, which increases friction. Graph Tech executes poorly but it's a great material.

@Stratisfied22 Год назад

@@guyincognito320 That’s a great idea. I also realized that you need to lock down the trem post with a smaller Allen key that fits inside the post. It makes all the difference in staying in tune. I had no idea.

@guyincognito320 Год назад

@@Stratisfied22 What do you mean by lock it down?

@Stratisfied22 Год назад

@@guyincognito320 Inside the bridge post there is another screw you need to turn to lock it down. Mine were completely loose and after tightening them it holds tune much better.

@guyincognito320 Год назад

@Stratisfied Thanks, I didn't know that. Another factor for information sake is 1 string tree instead of 2. I've never had a guitar that seemed to need 4 strings tree'd up. Charvel seems to move to 1 tree over time. Other than that, lube all contact points and I like to install a Tremol-no and prefer down-only or hardtail most of the time. A one way trem has a hard resting point so while a two-way can come to rest in subtly wrong position.

@lueymeteora1410 3 года назад

Nice blast of Satch Boogie/Livin on a Prayer/Eruption / Mary Had a Little Lamb! 🤟😆 And you never left the bridge pozish! (That's good to know cos they only have the hss versions left at my store). Hey, if EVH could do it all with just one bridge humbucker.... 🤷‍♂️

@bluematrix5001 4 года назад

Hi,I asked for a setup at Sweetwater and I have an issue with my brand new DK24 HH(arrived today) , when I pick the first string that string sounds Very sensitive and produces a hi pitched sound as soonest the pick touches the strings, even with very soft picking... it is noticeable the way how the first string sounds comparing to the others....anybody knows what can be??? is a piercing sound... only with the bridge pickup

@MikPeterRasmussen 5 лет назад

@anthonyguerrero1832 4 года назад

I've heard that this one comes with no stainless steel frets , I believe they are nickel frets.

@metalliholic 4 года назад

Maybe that one wasnt set up properly because I have gotten maybe 4-5 guitars from sweet water ranging from $400 to $1,000 and they always comes so nicely set up. Thats what keeps me going back to them. I know the guitar will be perfect when I open it. Ive gotten guitars come straight from factory with grimmy fretboards, rusty strings and dirty. Never from sweet water though.

@stevehogan8829 5 лет назад

Glad you're happy, but would have been better if you had not had to send it back. I'm pretty sure that Sweetwater and all of the retailers are supposed to set up the guitars they sell. That should be part of what they do for their customers. Especially now that a retailer is not really performing any other function. SetUp from the factory isn't going to work because of the length of time and differenves in weather etc. it should come to you set up and ready to go.JMO. Sounds great btw.... nice licks. Looks fantastic.

@GuitarLava 5 лет назад

Totally agree with that! The argument is that everyone likes it set up differently. The only thing I requested was the strings though.

@passionplayer7 5 лет назад

Great vid! I ordered one from Sweetwater with setup and PLEK service, ended up amazing! I was wondering if you've tested the DC resistance on the Bridge? Mine is reading like the full shred neck humbucker(mine reads 7.08) not the Bridge (should be 14k). Any feedback would be great! Thanks!

This just popped up for me. Question for you: did they pay shipping? I assume the repair was warranty work and you didn't have to pay for that.

@JoeyRapps1 4 года назад

Did they cover the shipping to them on the repair return? Ecaping bridge anchors must be point #56 lol. I'm hoping some day (soon) they make a roasted/carmelized neck (and that very same sculpted heel joint) with the series/parallel switch and a Floyd. Only so much those non-locking 2PT bridges can handle without going out. And string trees on 4 strings...uggh.

@GuitarLava 4 года назад

They did and gave me a discount which highly appreciated.

@anthonyangelis1094 2 года назад

Hello thanks for this review. Now you have me all worried -several days ago I ordered a charvel DK 24 pro mod HH. Slightly different than yours. From Sweetwater But I did not request a set up. I always assumed guitars were ready to play out of the box. Plus I can’t afford the extra $129. I hope it’s going to be OK. Can you explain the problem you had a little bit better? You mentioned some thing about a bridge pin being too high? I’m not sure I understood what that means. Anyway I hope I don’t have to go through the hassle of sending the guitar back. By the way you’re playing blew me away, caught me off guard. Really good playing.

@MarkWesley 4 года назад

I work in manufacturing and I know guitars....that's not Sweetwater's fault. I don't work for Sweetwater, never bought from them, but definitely interested in Charvel. If your trem post was coming up like that, it means Charvel drilled that hole for the post ever so slightly too big. I'm talking a couple thousandths of an inch too big. Glad they got it resolved and glad you're able to enjoy your geetar!

@SDesWriter 3 года назад

It is the best playing guitar I've ever had, and I've had a PRS artist 2. That said, the tuning sucks so be prepared for constant annoyance if you like using the tremolo bar. Too bad because otherwise I'd say it's perfect despite its cheap price tag.

@trentseaman3666 2 года назад

I just ordered mine from AMS ...nothing was said about set up ..since I ordered digitally....hoping for the best..I live a long way from a luthier..yikes!

@marmadukewinterbotham2599 4 года назад

Same here in the UK, even with Andertons, stars of YT. None of these companies do proper inspections, that's complete crap. The last Strat I bought from Andertons I had to wait for the next batch to be delivered. No problem. But when I received the guitar it had obviously been used, probably a customer return or showroom one, e.g. protective film removed already, no new guitar smell. So, in essence, they lied. I'd been a customer for years - but no more.

@Stratisfied22 4 года назад

Had to comment again on the setup scenario. Don't ever pay for a setup when you buy a $1000 guitar. It should be perfectly setup when you buy it and absolutely insist that it is or no deal. It is very easy to set one of these up and I recommend that every player learn how to setup his or her own guitar to avoid this type of fuc$ery. These music stores purposely don't set them up and knock them out of wack for you and expect you to pay for it.

@SDesWriter 3 года назад

Yeah but the color is freaking awful. I like their blue and chlorine quilted tops (and the snakeskin is ridiculous), but it's only available on certain models which is stupid. I really want the HSH configuration but it limits my available guitars to 4 or 5 boring (or ugly) colors. Makes no sense.

@Xxmattax29xX 4 года назад

Symply Skynyrd Canada to get a guitar to stay in tune you have to stretch your strings until they don’t go out of tune. That means completely stretch them. Any guitar will have that problem until you do that, especially with a floating bridge.

@Xxmattax29xX 4 года назад

Also I would know because I have a fender Strat and put in locking tuners. Almost exact to the configuration on the Charvel. Wont stay in tune until FULLY stretched
