NEW Charvel DK24's | Dual Humbuckers + New Colours!

[@nathanward3888]

The mini switch doesn't split the coils. It's a series/parallel switch.

The only thing I would want to improve on this guitar is stainless steel frets.

[@Kutamitasa]

I've found forum topics with that request older than 10 years so just buy something else.

[@Lowtech14]

Shinobi_Madero Fair enough, but here in the states the point was to keep the guitar under a grand, and u just described a $1200 guitar

[@Kutamitasa]

​@@Lowtech14 The problem is that they don't have that $1200 guitar ;)

How is the tuning stability?

[@greekfreak1980]

Charvel is knocking it out of the park with these new Pro Mod Series models. This here and the H-S-S and H-S-H versions, are pretty much a budget friendly variant of the Guthrie Govan model. In other words: a Swiss-Army Knife guitar that gets pretty much everything covered.

Nice to watch a review that shows the versatility of the guitars and not just shred central.

[@Zisch2]

Thanks a lot for showing the clean/crunch potential of this guitar!

[@ValKitsakis]

Apart from the beautiful guitars, Joss saves the day. Great sense of humour and an amazing player!

[@lumberjack6722]

Just received the tri fade and so far it's superb. Had it set up by sweet water so I can't comment on out of the box playability but wow, very nice playing instrument. Over a week's time of playing 8 hrs each day I've yet to encounter any tunning instabilities. I tend to bend alot in my playing and also utilize the trem often so I'm impressed with how it's holding up tunning wise. It's Very hard to put this guitar down after picking it up. Definitely on the bright side but I'm partial to those tones and find it very versatile! Very pleased with this guitar.

I gave this video a like because of Joss playing some sweet Nick Johnston at the end.

Firstly these are great guitars. I'm hoping to get one soon. Secondly, Joss is not only hilarious but a monstrous guitar player. What a talent.

[@appliedphysicist]

Nice demo but it helps to get the details right. The guitar doesn't have a coil split for example (it's a series-parallel switch)

[@stevebon9688]

Wow Joss, a great guitar player. Loved the review & your skills of playing😉👍

[@tigerbalm666]

I prefer MIM...high qualith but affordable! Both my schecter and fender MIM are amazing quality. AZs rr a lot more $$. This charvel is the only axe i want for my 3 axe maximum!

[@kostaspapadopoulos4689]

i have read many complaints about tuning stability... Whats your opinion ??? Please honest answer because i am interested in buying this guitar Gr8 vid as always btw

[@dominickortega8489]

kostas papadopoulos These new guitars without the non locking nut and 2pt trem bridges require some maintenance for them to be kept in tune. First off I’m sure you and most know to stretch the strings. Any string going flat will be due to strings not being fully stretched. If the strings go sharp then its the fact that the guitar is non locking at the nut. The nut of the guitar has to be cut correctly and since charvel does not fill down the slot in the nut you might have to do this. This can be done with sandpaper. If the slots aren’t filled down to smoothness, there will be friction between the string and the slot therefore causing the string to not return to pitch (will be sharp). You can also add graphite and nut sauce in the slot to keep them lubricated to prevent friction. Since the guitar comes with string trees (smh) you also have to apply nut sauce under the trees so that the string is gliding under without friction. Lastly you can also apply nut sauce on the saddles of the bridge where the strings lay. That should resolve any running instability.

[@jimmybags1494]

Most tuning issues found on non locking systems comes from the nut. The gotoh bridge is killer but the nut could have some issues out of the box. Basically if you're in tune, and you dive the bar, when you come back up (if there is binding in the nut) strings will come back sharp. A good luthier could smooth out the nut slot or make the slots wider if you need to run thicker strings! I have a feeling it's really hard for a massive company to get the nuts cut perfectly for each guitar but it's not hard to fix.

[@JesseLeeKing]

Is the satin burgundy Mist like slippery feeling and leaves finger prints? I'm not sure but matte is like a dull color which seems similar to satin I'm really debating between these 2 guitars and I have a charvel pro San dimas in metallic deep purple which I was considering the burgundy Mist that time too lol

[@arifmiftachul8626]

I always thought the series/parallel sounds on these guitars were terrible......till now. Quite surprised they actually sound decent here? There is hope after all, lol. Doesn't hurt that camo jacked dude is a flat out ferocious player. Thanks for the demo GAK........

[@symptomoftheuniverse1261]

[@tylerbrittan593]

I miss the 3 way toggle rather than the 3 way switch.

[@jacoobyslaps]

Tyler Brittan 5 way Switch

[@LJN71]

Are you sure it has coil split? I thought the mini toggle was a series/parallel switch?

[@jonathankvex]

LJN71 it is series/parallel, they just didn’t take the time to learn that before making the video apparently.

[@LJN71]

Jonathan Klinvex that’s what I thought, having read about the guitar on Charvel’s website. I really do like what they’re is doing these days, and the pickup configurations and switching offer a lot of tonal versatility. I definitely thinks there is a Charvel in my near future.

[@mooshimanx]

Positions 2 and 4 are coil splits and the mini-toggle is a series/parallel switch

Why the sh10 bridge pickup instead of a tb10?

Interesting guitars!... Great playing, specially the Nick Johnston cover at the end, awesome to see these guitars can get tones that similar to Nick´s. I am going to check out one of these, not that sure about the compound radius or the nickel frets... Been playing stainless steel for a while and don´t think I want to go back.

Any sound differences between the just alder and the alder + quilt maple top??

[@anlaik]

it's not a real top but a veneer so the answer would be no

[@ilupi.guitar]

Anlaik thx. I just picked the info from Charvel site, there it says “the alder body in the classic Dinky™ style is completed with an elegant quilt maple top” so I thought it was a “real” top...

[@anlaik]

@@ilupi.guitar most companies do that nowadays, but I can see it's a veneer just by looking at it...in this price range it's always a veneer unfortunately

[@ilupi.guitar]

Anlaik yep, taking into account the price range that makes a lot of sense 👍🏻

[@anlaik]

@@ilupi.guitar oh you would be surprised how many brands in different price ranges use veneers...for example 1400€ Schecters use veneers, PRS SE too...even 2000€ ESP e-ii use veneers, with a non figured maple top underneath it though...etc

[@SpencerDillon]

Pretty good review guys👍🏼 big fan of joss, think he’s a great player and has a great personality for this. Love these guitars and probably will be buying one soon. But I do have a couple bones to pick. If you want people to take what you say seriously, 1) your guitar need to be in tune! And 2) you need to know the gear your reviewing. If you don’t know it’s ok to look it up but better just to know. That’s generally why we tune in is to hear reputable players explain and demo the gear. You guys had no idea what the switch did and you BS’d your way through that segment.

[@alanlotra8148]

I was so hyped for these ( the previous run) I tried one at musicstore in Germany , I was quite disappointed with the build quality.... maybe a lemon??

[@ivanrios2425]

Alan Lotra probably, these guitars are really good and I would just change the pickups to something I’d like. Better than the Ibanez in my opinion

[@thesuppcollector]

My guess would definitely be a lemon, I've had a shell pink dk24 hss (the previous run of this line) and it has blown every other guitar I have owned out of the water! Definitely give them another chance

[@kebotrans]

I have two AZ s the 2402 and a Miller model they are amazing. I loved the Charvel and they are cool. They need a little love and then they are great. The Ibanez AZ necks tend to be a little larger. Not much just enough. Against a lower priced AZ the Charvel I would say is a tad better. Love the input jack on the Charvel, but the neck joint an the AZ is a sexy beast.

I just bought 2 of them because I go all in. I didn't read the reviews (my mistake). I liked the idea of the roasted maple neck for the stability (I have problems with humidity where I am from time to time) and this was the answer. I got 2 of the HSH models (army drab and the orange). Shocked to see as I opened them that they don't have staggered tuners. I just don't understand how they could ship these knowing they are not guitars that can stay in tune with any sort of aggressive playing or movement of the bridge. Also at this stage of the game where are the stainless steel frets? I returned them and while I do have 2 DK FR models I love them and will keep them but my next purchase will be a Warmoth build instead. Come on Charvel.
