Charvel USA Select DK24 HSS 2PT CM QM – Blue Burst (2023) | High-Performance Dinky
The Charvel USA Select DK24 HSS 2PT CM QM in Blue Burst is a premium strat-style shredder built for speed, versatility, and eye-catching looks. With its quilted maple top over alder body, caramelized maple “speed” neck, and high-end hardware, this guitar delivers on both tone and playability.
Key features include a 12-16″ compound radius caramelized flame maple fretboard with rolled edges, 24 stainless steel jumbo frets, and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The neck’s construction is bolt-on with graphite reinforcement and a hand-rubbed urethane back finish for smooth feel. The sculpted heel and scalloped lower back bout give excellent access to higher frets.
Electronics are very versatile: an HSS configuration featuring a Seymour Duncan Full Shred TB-10 humbucker in the bridge and two SSL-6 single coils (middle + RWRP neck) allows you to go from aggressive lead tones to glassy cleans. Controls include a 5-way blade switch, volume (500K EVH Bourns low friction pot), and a no-load tone option. Hardware is top tier: Gotoh Custom 510 recessed tremolo with titanium saddles and a thick brass block, Sperzel locking tuning machines, and Luminlay side dots for stage visibility.
