Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:
Wow! Do yourself a favor. This thing plays out of the box like no guitar I've ever played brand new! The action is great. Sound is great. It almost feels weird it's so easy to play. VERY low action with absolutely no fret buzz. If you're even remotely interested, buy this guitar! You will not be sorry!

Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:
Like everyone here has said it is an amazing guitar, were working on an album right now and so far all the tracks have been recorded with this guitar. We have a 3000 dollar les paul, another 3 guitars (Ibanez, Schecter, LTD) and this blows all of them out of the water and the others are all atleast tripple the price. Almost couldn't believe what i saw when it arrived. I must admit i was also nervous because i've never heard of charvel but the guitar is really worth triple what you pay for it. Buy it! You will not regret it, i promise you.

Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:
Purchased the Charvel Desolation DC-2 in Smear Blue the other day at a convention, and haven't regretted it yet! The active pickups that come stock with the guitar are amazing for the price of the guitar...even while playing with my gain all the way up, I don't lose any tone or gain any muddyness at all. The neck is very smooth, and the guitar came setup VERY well straight from factory. I slapped some Skinny Top - Heavy Bottom strings on it (9-52 guage), and tuned to drop B right away. Have been playing it for a little over a week and it has YET to go out of tune. I have had many guitars in my past, from Ibanez, to Yamaha, Fender to Jackson....and dozens of pickups, and this guitar takes the cake in every category possible.

Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:

Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:
Cannot praise this ax enough... just a metal machine.... Action is phenomenol out of the box.. it almost plays itself, yes it is that good!!! I have owned Fender Strats, Gibson Les Pauls, Gibson SG's, and PRS's but this guitar absolutely and unequivocally blows them all out of the water for playability.
Everything you need to play Metal or Classic Rock! The Charvel active pickups have incredible sustain... a little feedback at times but that is to be expected with these type of pickups.
Excellent craftsmanship--no flaws. Action was perfect out of the box.
Unbelievable value for the price...
Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:
Again the color is just beautiful! Far exceeded my expectations when I opened the box,WOW! The neck is just fantastick as well, great action and playability. It is really light and makes hanging on your neck all night a pleasure. The three way toggle switch is right where it needs to be to change your sound and it just sounds great with nice sharp clear highs and a very mellow lower range. This guitar can give you most of all the sounds you'll want for whatever style of music you're playing. If My house cought on fire, this would be the guitar that I grabbed to get out!
I admit that I was a little sceptial of the quality of this guitar because I had never heard of Chavel and also few things in life that are any good are reasonably priced these days. I ALWAYS read the reviews to see what other people who have bought the item say about it as I did with this guitar. Everyone said good buy and they were RIGHT!! This is a great guitar. I also have a Telecaster, Stratocaster, Les Paul and an Ibanez and this is really my favorite! I bought the Blue Smear Transparent and it is simply BEAUTIFUL! The absolute best finish on a guitar I've ever seen. If your looking for a great sounding guitar, great looking guitar, great action, ( as good as the Fenders and Gibsons) then the price will just be the icing on top of the cake. I LOVE this guitar!
Everything about this guitar is top quality. Beautif color, craftsmanship, Chavel active humbucking pickups and action all say that somebody there at Chavel cares about their product! This would be the last guitar I'd let go.
For the money I haven't seen anything to even come close, really! If the price of this guitar was based on it's quality, It would sell for three times what they are asking for it.
Comments about Charvel Desolation Double Cutaway 2 Electric Guitar:
Pros:
1. Great Action
2. Beautiful binding and craftsmanship.
3. Great sound espcially with a Peavey VYPYR
great sound, great action, a set neck, beautiful ammenities, with pearl and abalone inlays, grover tuners and Indian rosewood, can't beat that!
Quality:
Easy to play faster action. When I went to a local guitar store, they showed me the DC-2 ST. Right away I felt this was a great guitar especially with someone with smaller hands,( but I paid the full price). Now I just can't stop playing. but I'm sure this guitar will be great for everyone. Ordered another for my nephew from you all!
Value:
The finish is very similiar to a gibson les paul and similiar in sound . I would consider this as a starter guitar up to the working professional or for people like me with smaller hands, but I'm sure everone one will love this guitar. Very versitile.
