The Charvel USA Select DK24 melds the best characteristics of two guitar icons into a high-performance instrument. Benefit from a lightweight, contoured alder Jackson Dinky body, while a 2-piece Charvel graphite-reinforced Speed Neck supplies a rock-solid platform for your fretboard pyrotechnics. Speaking of which, the USA Select DK24 boasts Charvel’s familiar 12"-16" compound-radius fingerboard, along with a scalloped lower back bout for effortless access to hard-to-reach upper frets. Dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers deliver everything a modern player could ask for ? metal, fusion, prog, and beyond. The USA Select DK24 features a recessed Gotoh tremolo, Luminlay side dots, and an EVH Bourns low-friction volume pot ? it’s 100% armed to the teeth.

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 USA Select 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 gives you access to a myriad of irresistible sonic textures. The USA Select DK24 includes an EVH Bourns low-friction volume pot and no-load tone control.





Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo





The recessed Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge sits nice and flush with the USA Select 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.





Fast, stable, comfortable reinforced maple neck





The USA Select DK24’s neck and fingerboard are spec’d to meet the demands of the technical player. The Charvel Speed Neck is built from two pieces of caramelized maple and 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. What’s more, a scalloped lower back bout ensures easy upper access to this guitar’s fingerboard, while Luminlay side dots provide easy visibility on the darkest of stages.
