Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSS

Versatile Super-Strat for Modern Players

The Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSS 2PT CM is a high-performance Super-Strat electric guitar from Charvel’s Pro-Mod series, blending classic ’80s design with contemporary features. Ideal for rock, metal, and shred enthusiasts across Australia, it offers exceptional playability and tonal versatility in configurations like HSS pickup setups. Available in finishes such as Primer Gray, Mystic Blue, Satin Shell Pink, and Snow White, it’s a reliable choice for stage and studio use.

High-Quality Performance

The DK24 HSS 2PT CM is engineered for speed and tone:

• Body: Alder with a contoured double-cutaway for ergonomic comfort and lightweight balance (approximately 7.5–8.5 lbs). It provides resonant punch with clear highs and defined mids, suitable for a wide range of genres.
• Pickups: HSS configuration with a Seymour Duncan® Custom Flat Strat® SSL-6 single-coil (neck and middle) for classic Strat chime and a Full Shred™ SH-10B humbucker (bridge) for high-output aggression. The 5-way blade switch offers versatile tones, from glassy cleans to crunchy leads.
• Neck: Caramelized maple Speed Neck with graphite reinforcement for stability, a 12″–16″ compound radius ebony or caramelized maple fingerboard, and 22 jumbo frets for smooth bends and fast solos.
• Bridge: Gotoh® Custom 510 2-point tremolo for smooth vibrato and tuning stability, a low-maintenance alternative to Floyd Rose systems.
• Controls: Master volume with 500K EVH® Bourns® low-friction pot, no-load tone control, and 5-way blade switch. The no-load tone disengages completely for transparent sound.

Users praise its playability and value, with a MusicRadar review noting, “The caramelized neck is fast without being too thin, and the Gotoh 510 tremolo offers excellent tuning stability” []. Some mention the need for a setup to optimize action, as the stock setup may be slightly high.

Durable and Stylish Design

• Weight: Approximately 7.5–8.5 lbs, ensuring comfort for extended sessions.
