Best I can tell and that the seller tells me, it seems the scallop and Duncans are factory.The one I have my eye on has some flavor of Duncans, and looks like a scalloped fretboard. Were those ever stock features, or is this "user modified"? Not that that's necessarily bad, but seems it needs some scrutiny...
Killer!Pew pew!
I did it... Just got a good deal on a used one. Not free of blemishes but all are on the back as far as I can tell.
These things just don't come up for sale used. I think that says something

It was your comments that made me consider it over an Anderson, and I love my MIM... So I'm excited!I have one of those. One of my favorite guitars.
Well, if nothing else, it was purchased for my Vai Academy 5.0 use initially, so the back has a phenomenal collection of signatures (Vai, Satch, Plini, Andy Timmons, etc )Beeeautiful! Congrats!!
What are you going to do with your DK24 now? This looks like a major upgrade on that.

But I'm sure I'll still be playing it - it's a great guitar!
Yeah... It is pretty solid now.That is great! I'm glad you are keeping it, I love my DK24 and might look to get a USA model at some point too!
Did your tuning issues settle down completely once you made all those changes (I recall a thread you posted where you ended up using staggered machine heads and new saddles)? I'm trying not to derail this thread, but am deciding whether I want to spend more money to stabilise my DK24's tuning or maybe put that cash towards a USA model (or similar). I haven't made any of the changes you did yet.
I remember seeing one at the King of Prussia mall in PA. Try calling them, maybe you'll get lucky?Anyone here have both a Charvel Guthrie Govan and Charvel DK-24?
I really, really love the neck on my DK-24 and have been lusting after a GG since I first saw them. Wondering how the necks compare: overall shape, thickness, fret size.
I know the finish seems to be the same and the radius is the same.
Yeah... It is pretty solid now.
Honestly, I think staggered tuners and getting rid of the string trees was the best move.
Well, I already bought the USA Charvel DK-24... So GG will have to waitI remember seeing one at the King of Prussia mall in PA. Try calling them, maybe you'll get lucky?
For sure... Plus the locking saddles are hard to getCool thanks, it is cheaper to start off with just that than also replacing the saddles too! I'll try this before explaining to my wife that I need another guitar...!
I really hope it feels the same. But if it's better then bonus!Very interested to see how you like the neck of the USA when it arrives compared to the DK-24.
I haven't played the USA Select but that seems like a great price.I was thinking about getting the Pink Pro-Mod DK24 HSS 2PT ($1,200 in Thailand) but I've found a second hand USA Select San Dimas Style 1 HSS HT for $1,430, which is still on my budget
What do you think? Is there a huge difference between the USA and the Mex?
Here are the pictures of that USA Select San Dimas. It has one scratch, and the string tree is not original
That USA has hard tail bridge, but I could live with that if the quality was really superior.
Has anyone played both?
