I dont know why I kept saying it's a Gotoh 501 bridge...when it's a 510!!! lol And..The neck shape is a speed neck shape and the body shape is the Charvel Dinky. So sorry..
Charvel has definitely won me over with their MIM Pro-Mod San Dimas and now their DK24. The parts & build quality is very impressive. Very Pro Feeling 🙂
This is a wonderful guitar. For several years I didn't like the feel of Fender's Charvels. I've collected 80's japanese models for a while, but a few years back Fender finally nailed the Charvel feel again. This one quickly became my number one.
You are doing an excellent job, your tests and reviews have already inspired me many times to buy effects pedals and electric guitars. Thank you and I wish you all the best from the Czech Republic. Pavel
I saw this gutiar on display at Swee Lee. It feels great. I liked the neck profile. For me, it’s quite comfortable to play with. And the output jack is quite unique as well. 👍🏼
I am planning to buy this from Swee Lee Singapore. Thank you for your review & demo. Singapore music stores should have more musicians reviewing & demoing their products. Musicians sell products. Jon your playing & skills is awesome
Another fantastic video. I was able to try one of these about a months ago and instantly fell in love with the neck and how it fit my hand. Love the color and finish. I’m going to be getting one of these for Christmas. Your video helped push me over the edge, so to speak. Wonderful playing as always. Very tasty. Take care.
I am a traditionalist in terms of guitars (Strat, Tele and Les Paul guy) but I really like this Charvel and the flexibility of sound it offers. Your playing is just amazing Jon, so much so that I'm going to try this one out at my local shop (they actually have one!).
I have a Pro Mod DK, mine is the Gold SSS model and the only thing i dont like are the pick ups, i really wish they were a bit more vintage sounding but i fell in love with the Gotoh 510 trem! It is currently my favorite trem system!
Having gone decades without...I recently scored a DK24 with a Floyd...HH...mahogany body in dark amber quilt...and a Charvel Warren DeMartini Snakeskin SD...the same week!
Great playing! Love the DK24 line, one small correction, Guthrie went FROM Suhr to Charvel, not the other way around. Well done. Your playing is an inspiration!
Hi Jonathan, a great Superstrat. Very versatile model with nice appointments. Loved the sound, body colour and neck combination. Plays very well. Great review. Cheers ✌️🎸💜
Looks beautiful! Lately I've switched my nut on my new HB ST-62CC, to Tusq XL pt0050 nut. The bendings were before soo difficult and stiff, I did everything I didn't figure out, until I saw the nut was so narrow cut, and maybe wasn't sliding well too, I sanded this tusq nut, and It's awesome now! I liked the guitar it's pretty good for $150 and sounds very nice. Nice playing!
Hi Jonathan. I’ve enjoyed your channel - I originally came here looking for your take on a guitar I was interested in. I subscribed and watched a good number of other review videos. I think now though that the channel has really become a shop window - the videos all seem to be promotional now. I realise you have to make a living somehow and this can be a good way to do it it. Good luck
nothing promotional at all...these are guitars that i'm blessed to be playing. They dont pay me nothing for these videos. I do them because I love playing guitars.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud It’s unusual. Everyone on UA-cam is there for something - selling, teaching, sharing their message. There are very few who just do something they enjoy and video themselves doing it

I’m a complete sucker for a red or cherry guitar Jon 😂😂 this one’s a beauty. The sounds are exceptional especially that humbucker so rich. I love that truss rod position. Wonderfully played too. 😃👍❤️👏👏👏
I watched a video of someone reviewing a HB Fusion T 25th who also owned 2 high end Charvels, he was extremely impressed with the HB model and although he thought it wasn't as good as his Charvels he thought it was very close.
@@JonIsJustTooLoud I agree! I have the Fusion T 25th and I am going to buy the traditional Tele version before they sell out as I know I would regret it if I did not.
The lick at 03:43. Fantastic playing and you found your groove superbly here. Not particular inspiring looking guitar which is same ilk as those Suhr and Ibanez AZs but this sure sounds good and the Gotoh 510 is probably the best of its kind. HSS is the most versatile configuration for sure but speccing the Full Shred is a weird choice. Nice demo still, appreciate the work you do.
Like many of the features especially the wood grain...the color too ! Very cool looking guitar. Yeah... FMIC brands include Fender, Squier, Gretsch, Jackson, Charvel and EVH among others..plus Brand X amps.
I got one of these, really good worksmanship and features. Fretwork and attention to detail is almost usa/japanese level, hardware is the same, while price is .half
DK24's are bangin' guitars for sure....one of my favorites actually. The only hangups I can think of, is that the 1st string is too close to the edge of the fretboard....I guess that would be the string spacing right? which is about 10.8 from the best I can gather? Also, I feel like that full shred they stick in the bridge?... that thing is just too overwound or something lol I pulled it, and threw a custom 5 in there? that really changed it to my liking...hell yes! As of a couple weeks ago, the tremolo arm has gotten more play in it now?.. which is bumming me out? ... can u buy new housings for that arm? or? if u know, shoot me a mesg if u could. Great video brodda!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud btw is this one the MIM or made in USA. AS my budget is only arnd $1000 and I want the best strat single coil type guitar I can get. I also would prefer if it will last me a long time cus I will not be able to buy another guitar for 4-5 years
It just sounds nice, not as harsh as the Tom Anderson guitar, and costing less. Maybe it has nickle frets; I wonder if the T/A guitar has stainless steel frets?

Because you wear Elvis 501 jeans and its not 510 😂😂😂
@@stopUkrainewar666 lol probably!! I was reading an article about not washing your Levis 501 jeans!
Sake...was sake involved?
@@stopUkrainewar666His 501s are cool but his Charvel is in the washing machine.
Man, what a jam. Charvel is the rowdy black sheep son of the Fender family. You can tell they’re related, but the kid can’t be tamed.
lol
sounds like really light strings...
You can tell how good this guitar is when Jon lets rip with his best licks ,some of his best playing ive ever watched ,fantastic!
lol...thanks!

Note choice masterclass. Enjoyed this.

Damn Jon! You better buy this thing. You played with aggression and fire!
I know right??
My type of guitar. More simple, less elegant. But sometimes simple is elegance. Thanks Jon.
I think so too✌️❤️
I am planning to buy this from Swee Lee Singapore. Thank you for your review & demo. Singapore music stores should have more musicians reviewing & demoing their products. Musicians sell products.

She's Gorgeous !!!Sounds Awesome !!! Cheers for the Vid.
Glad you enjoyed it
I dare say this was a valuable review for pros Jon. Your enthusiasm with this instrument really comes through loud and clear!
Thank you!
hey , how do you feel about the neck? kind of wide and thin? how does it compare vs the schecter AM6 you recently reviewd?@@JonIsJustTooLoud
Jon…your phrasing and tone is exquisite…jazz fusion on a Charvel…superb 👍
Thanks!!!

Really love these HSS type guitars.

Hi Jon, I like your playstyle and sound. I hope one day you can do a demo of Charvel Henrik Danhage by any chance. Thank you very much for your work!!
I'll check it out!

You are great guitar player
Not really… hahaha but thank you so much✌️❤️
Thanks for the Cool video.... thinking about buying one very soon! Do they stay in tune? After whammy use also?
Yes it does
You should check out the tele style Charvel. It's flat out amazing! 👍
Thanks for the tip!
It has a lot of good features except stainless steel frets and I prefer an ebony fretboard. It's still a nice guitar !
✌❤
Is it just me or are the pickup poles not in line with the strings? Great playing and review - thanks Jon!
Looks fine by me✌️❤️
I'd like it in green
✌🏻❤️
Great playing! How does this guitar compare to your Schecter Nick Johnston?
This is way better!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud Nice! I will check out one of these, when I can. Take care 👍
@@eddaymusic you too!!
Got one.
Nice
Hi Jon,which do you prefer this or the Yamaha Pacifica standard plus? thanks
This!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud thanks.appreciate it
should i get this or fender aerodyne special or schecter nick johnston,
thanks love your videos
This
@@JonIsJustTooLoud btw is this one the MIM or made in USA. AS my budget is only arnd $1000 and I want the best strat single coil type guitar I can get. I also would prefer if it will last me a long time cus I will not be able to buy another guitar for 4-5 years
I want to try the rick Graham model so badly
👌
would you say the neck is wider than a standard fender neck
Not really
It just sounds nice, not as harsh as the Tom Anderson guitar, and costing less. Maybe it has nickle frets; I wonder if the T/A guitar has stainless steel frets?
It depends on the build request
Quais os pontos negativos que vc não curtiu dessa charvel? 🇧🇷
To tell you truth...nothing!
Hey Jon this or the Schecter sun valley which would you prefer?
This!!
Appreciate your input thank you! Great video and great playing!
Beautiful guitar! I like Charvel's, but they're really not my thing. 😎
Fair enough!
@@JonIsJustTooLoud 👍😁
Me he enamorado de esa guitarra. Tengo una Fender ST Elite y prefiero Charvel Pro Mod DK24 HSS
Para mi su Diapason tiene mejor Tocabilidad que la Fender. Saludos.
Nice
Yeeaahhhh
✌️
"Dinky" refers to the body. It's about 7/8 the size of a standard Stratocaster.
Yes I found that out later🤣
Jon is just TOO HotT!
✌️🤣✌️
What guitar pick do you typically use?
heheh I use Harley Benton 1.20mm picks!
What is the name of this color?
Ash Red
This guitar is definitely not my cup of tea. For the same money Shijie offers many better choices, in my opinion. Superior quality, and more bang for the buck. That being said, Jon is truly an amazing guitarist, and anything sounds good in his hands.
Thanks!
Doesn't sound like a strat really... So I like it
✌️❤️
Super sexy Charvel
✌️❤️
