The Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSH is the latest proof of the legendary guitar company’s commitment to bring modern metal players the finest in design, appointments, and playability. This streamlined solidbody features a mahogany body cut to an offset design that feels comfortable in your hands and against your waist. A bolt-on, caramelized maple neck with graphite reinforcement has been cut to the legendary Charvel Speed profile with rolled fingerboard edges ? a favorite neck among guitarists here at Sweetwater. The Pro-Mod DK24 also comes with a trio of Seymour Duncan pickups ? two humbuckers and one single-coil ? that deliver all the serious, aggressive tone you desire. Finally, a Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge offers ultra-smooth dives, bends, and flutters, giving you all the nuances to enhance your metal performance in style.

Diverse Seymour Duncan pickup set





The trio of Seymour Duncans in the Pro-Mod DK24 affords a tonal potential that will have you exploring diverse sonic landscapes for hours. For drive, the Full Shred SH-10 bridge humbucker packs a big, focused low end and about as much sustain as you can get from a passive alnico pickup. And when you need to clean up, the Alnico II Pro APH-1N neck humbucker is a breath of fresh air. This pickup boasts great touch dynamics and a sweet, bluesy top end that’s perfect for true cleans and those just-on-the-edge-of-breaking-up tones that add grit to your sound. As if these two pickups weren’t enough, you also get a Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 middle pickup that yields overwound single-coil tones with undeniable punch. In addition, 5-way switching ? along with a 2-way mini toggle for series/parallel selection ? gives you access to a myriad of irresistible sonic textures.

Fast, stable, comfortable reinforced maple neck





The Pro-Mod DK24’s maple neck and maple fingerboard are spec’d to meet the demands of the technical player. The Charvel Speed Neck is graphite reinforced for a lifetime of rock-solid dependability. A heel-mounted spoke wheel facilitates speedy truss rod adjustments, while four heavy-duty bolts provide superior sound transmission from the neck to the body. The compound-radius fingerboard flattens out to an arrow-straight 16 inches in the upper registers, and it comes fitted with 24 jumbo frets for maximum speed and control.





Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo





Let’s face it, when you are really digging in, you don’t want a bridge that gets in the way. The recessed Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge is ideal for unencumbered play, sitting flush with the Pro-Mod DK24’s body to provide texture when you need it, and a relatively low profile when you don’t. This vintage-style tremolo system also keeps tuning stable, even for all-out dives.
