The Charvel Pro-Mod DK24 HSS 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 electric guitar features an alder body cut to an offset design that feels comfortable in your hands and against your waist. The bolt-on caramelized maple neck with graphite reinforcement has been cut to Charvel’s legendary speed profile with rolled fingerboard edges ? a favorite neck among guitarists here at Sweetwater. The Pro-Mod DK24 HSS also comes with a trio of Seymour Duncan pickups ? one humbucker and two single-coils ? delivering 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 Duncan pickups in the Pro-Mod DK24 HSS will have you exploring diverse sonic landscapes for hours. For drive, the Seymour Duncan Full Shred SH-10 bridge humbucker packs a bright, focused low end and about as much sustain as you can get from a passive alnico pickup. You also get a Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coil middle pickup and a Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 RWRP single-coil neck pickup that yield overwound single-coil tones with undeniable punch. In addition, 5-way switching gives you access to a myriad of irresistible sonic textures.





Fast, stable, and comfortable reinforced maple neck





The Pro-Mod DK24 HSS’s caramelized maple neck and caramelized 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 bridge





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 HSS’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.
