Overview

An entirely new design from Charvel with mahogany woods and EMG pickups.

The Desolation Skatecaster SK-1 ST is a modernized take on the highly distinctive Charvel Surfcaster of the early 1990s, with a solid mahogany body and neck-through design. Features include a bound mahogany neck, compound radius (12-16) Indian rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and abalone œkeystone inlays, abalone body and headstock binding, EMG® 85 (neck) and 81 (bridge) active humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, single control knob (volume), Charvel bridge specially designed for compound-radius fingerboards, black nickel hardware, three-on-a-side locking Charvel tuners, and solid and trans finishes (flame maple veneer on trans finishes) with matching headstocks.

Magnificent Desolation. The Charvel Desolation series introduces entirely new designs not previously seen in Charvel' 30-year history, offering more tonal and stylistic options for discerning players everywhere. Devastating tone, killer looks and high-performance playability separate the Desolation series from all others. It' a whole new series of Charvel guitars for a whole new world of players.
