Hot Look, Aggressive Sound, and a Ton of Value!

Get the Charvel Desolation DC-2 ST double-cutaway electric guitar in your hands, and you'll be amazed at how value-packed this tone monster is. Charvel's Desolation Series is made for aggressive tone and effortless playability, and the DC-2 ST delivers. There's no secret to the mojo - you get a mahogany body for incredible sustain and richness, a mahogany neck for even more sustain, and a pair of humbucking pickups for wide-ranging tone. And you'll love how fluidly the DC-2 ST plays, thanks to the rosewood fretboard's compound radius. You've got a hot-looking, fast-playing guitar with attitude with the Charvel Desolation DC-2 ST double-cutaway electric guitar.

Charvel Desolation DC-2 ST Double-cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • Mahogany gives you awesome sustain and tone
  • Ready for fast fretwork
  • Big tone from dual humbuckers

Mahogany gives you awesome sustain and tone
Charvel chose mahogany for the body and neck of the Desolation DC-2 ST for its rich, harmonic tone and exceptional sustain. Mahogany has a richer, tighter low-frequency response than most other tonewoods, perfect for aggressive rock tones or smokey, dark blues tones. Plug into an overdriven tube amp, and you'll love what you hear from the DC-2 ST.

Ready for fast fretwork
Whether you play smooth rhythms or furious leads, you'll love the feel of the Desolation DC-2 ST's compound radius fretboard. With a 12" radius at the nut, flattening to 16" at the 12th fret, you've got the "just right" feel you need to grab chords in the lower positions, while the flatter upper registers allow blazing fast fretwork.

Big tone from dual humbuckers
Hard rockers and aggressive players have turned to humbucking pickups for their forceful tone, wide sonic range, and reliable performance. You get dual humbucking pickups in the Desolation DC-2 ST, ready to sound as clean or as mean as your style calls for.

Charvel Desolation DC-2 ST Double-cutaway Solidbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • Tonally proficient, fast-playing electric guitar with premium tonewoods
  • Color:
  • Solid mahogany body and neck provide ample sustain and rich, vibrant tones
  • Scalloped heel on the neck fits perfectly into your hand
  • Compound radius Indian rosewood fretboard (12"-16") feels effortless to play

When you need a guitar that's ready to rock hard, reach for the Charvel Desolation DC-2 ST double-cutaway solidbody electric guitar!
