      Comments about Charvel Desolation DX-1 FR Soloist Electric Guitar:

      I first bought the LP type Desolation DX-1FR and thought it can't get any better then this!!! I was wrong it got better with the Soloist version.

      The LP type is great except that it is a little difficult to reach the higher frets. The Soloist has ALL FRET ACCESS!!!! I wish all guitars felt this good out of the box. The active pickups are hot & loud. The original FR stays in tune no matter how much I abuse it. This guitar is easier to learn how to shred on then my 83' strat or my Epi LP due to the compound radius neck and low action.

      I just pray they come out with a HSS version of this guitar, I'd be first in line to buy it. Are you listening Charvel ????
