Explosive Tone and High-speed Playability

Loaded with a trio of high-octane Seymour Duncan pickups, the Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM solidbody electric guitar is poised for sonic excellence. The ultra-smooth Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge is ready to deliver expressive bends and flutters, with impressive tuning stability ensured by the Graph Tech TUSQ nut and die-cast Charvel tuners. And the Speed Neck profile with hand-rubbed satin finish and jumbo frets is ready for your most technically-demanding fretwork. While its heritage is firmly rooted in hard rock, the Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM offers tonal versatility and playability that any player can appreciate.

Seymour Duncan pickups deliver high-output tone

You'll have no trouble getting a huge sound out of your amplifier with the Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM. In the neck and middle positions, you'll find Seymour Duncan SSL-6 single-coil pickups, with the middle pickup reverse wound/reverse polarity for hum-canceling performance when combined with the neck pickup. The SSL-6 is an overwound pickup that captures a nice balance of punch and clarity, offering the traditional articulation of single coils with a bit of extra girth. They're a great match for the SHR-1b Hot Rails humbucker in the bridge position, which guitarists at Sweetwater love for its enhanced midrange and impressive sustain.

Fast, stable, comfortable reinforced maple neck

The Pro-Mod DK22’s neck and fretboard are designed to meet the demands of the technical player. The Charvel Speed Neck is built from two pieces of caramelized maple and reinforced with graphite for a lifetime of rock-solid dependability. A heel-mounted spoke wheel facilitates speedy truss rod adjustments, while four heavy-duty bolts provide superior sound transmission from the neck to body. Plus, the compound-radius fretboard flattens out to a near-flat 16-inch in the upper registers and comes fitted with 22 jumbo frets for maximum speed and control. Rolled fingerboard edges keep your thumbs and fingers comfortable during play.

Charvel Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM Electric Guitar Features:

  • Resonant mahogany body with a beautifully figured walnut top that simply demands attention
  • Iconic Jackson Dinky body with deep cutaways provides fantastic access to the entire fretboard
  • Caramelized maple Speed Neck is fast and stable
  • Heel-mounted spoke wheel facilitates speedy truss rod adjustments
  • 12–16-inch compound-radius, rolled-edge fingerboard is built for speed and comfort
  • Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge for ultra-smooth dives, bends, and flutters
  • Seymour Duncan SSL-6 single-coils and SHR-1b Hot Rails humbucker offer a wide sonic palette to explore
  • Die-cast Charvel tuners for rock-solid tuning stability

A lot to love

So many cool little touches. The pickups are very hot but well balanced across all the switching positions. Extremely comfortable to play, easy on the hands and back.

Oh You Beautiful Tone Beast

Sometimes the guitar descriptions put me off a bit when they say things like "speed neck." I don't consider myself a "shredder," more of a blues/rock player with some leaning towards jazz and prog – with occasional fast licks.
This model is 22 frets though & I was attracted to the wood combination with these particular pickups.
I'm enjoying this guitar aesthetically, feeling and tone.
The natural look is striking – the walnut finished top has amazing grain lines. The mahogany body is a singular piece with tight grain and the roasted maple neck has a unique grain pattern. Couple that with the gold hardware & she is a beauty.
For me the neck is very comfortable in the hand and the fret edges are smooth. I don't have any issues with different radius but this is flatter than most Strats (my S types go from 7.5" to 12").
I enjoy the comfort and accessibility of the Dinky type strat body. That's an interesting point about this guitar – a Fender look, a Jackson body and EVH electronics. The Gotoh 510 (floating) seems to be a very stable system as I've abused it immensely and the guitar stays in tune.
Speaking of electronics (which are nice quality), there is no coil split on the humbucker. Instead the 5-way switch isn't typical: 1-bridge humbucker, 2-inner humbucker coil & middle, 3-outer humbucker coil & neck, 4-middle & neck, 5-neck. Love the "no load" 1-9 is tone control but 10 is wide open pickups.
Love the tones and sustain is off the charts. Also, the little things like luminlay dots on the neck top and the rethinking of the ¼ Jack on the underside. It seems crazy at first when you plug the guitar in until you realize it's such a smart setup- the cord is so out of the way this method.
I did have a problem with new gear day as Charvel packed a Floyd Rose trem arm instead of the Gotoh. Nick Huskins (#1 problem fixer) quickly sent a nice new gold bar so I could take the ugly vintage chrome Fender bar with the white tip off my pretty new axe. Sweetwater's service once again to the rescue!

Never written a review before....

.....but this is the best guitar ive ever played. ive played mainly fenders for 25 years, and i prefer slimmer necks, and this is SUBLIME. The smoothest, fastest neck I have ever played. Light, well built, and sounds incredible.
