Overview

Classic body design with neck-through construction and EMG pickups.

The Desolation Star DST-1 ST hails the return of Charvel' classic Star body profile, with features including a through-body maple neck, compound radius (12-16) rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and Charvel œshark tooth inlays, EMG® 85 (neck) and 81 (bridge) humbucking pickups with black bezels and three-way toggle switching, single domed metal volume control knob, stop-tailpiece bridge, locking tuners and black nickel hardware. With a variety of features and finishes, the Desolation Star DST delivers the devastating tone, killer looks and high-performance playability that separate the Desolation series from others.

Dependant on stock, the DST-1 ST is available in Black and Snow White gloss finishes with matching headstock; flame maple-top models also available with multi-ply binding (body, neck and headstock) in Trans Red, Trans Black and Trans Blue Smear gloss finishes with matching headstock.
