Get to know them!





Two guitar icons come together in the Charvel Pro-Mod DK24. Its alder Jackson Dinky body is light in the hands and contoured against the body, while a graphite-reinforced Charvel Speed Neck remains rock solid as it ages. Charvel's familiar 12"-16" compound-radius fingerboard flattens out nicely in the upper registers, giving technical players the speed and expression they need for bends, runs, and vibrato.





What we think is really special is the Pro-Mod DK24's diversity of tones on tap, via twin Seymour Duncan humbuckers. The bridge-position Full Shred SH-10's searing 14.1kΩ DCR nicely offsets the neck-position vintage-output Alnico II Pro APH-1N. Together, these pickups deliver everything the modern player can expect to encounter, from fusion to prog and beyond. A recessed Gotoh tremolo system texturizes chords and leads without jeopardizing your tuning.

Iconic Jackson body style





Grover Jackson's Dinky body style is to hard rock and metal what the Camaro is to drag racing. Contoured and lightweight, the Dinky provides the hardline visuals, comfortable carry, and unlimited high-fret access that modern players demand.

Diverse Seymour Duncan pickup set





If you’re a single-guitar performer like many of us at Sweetwater, you’ll particularly love the Pro-Mod DK24’s diverse tonal potential. 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 verge-of-breakup tones. Beyond that, 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 neck and 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 body. Fretside, the compound-radius fingerboard flattens out to an arrow-straight 16" in the upper registers and comes fitted with 24 jumbo frets for maximum speed and control.

Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo





The recessed Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge sits nice and 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 keeps tuning stable, even for all-out dives.
