C-colours


Speaking of colours, Charvel has some interesting finishes of its own. The one you see above is called sunburn -  notice how the colour of the pickups matches the colour of the body.


And the DK22 SSS gets a natural walnut treatment. I simply like the colour of wood. There are some who dislike the fact that there's actually no colour on the body & Charvel offers this in other colours - blue, black & gold. 

These two are part of the upcoming Charvel releases in August. Hope these would make it here.

SSS?


New for 2020, but still a little uncertain? I'm saying this because Charvel's DK22 SSS shouldn't be named as such. There's a humbucker there so the third 'S' is a little misleading. You can say that it's still a valid reference since they are emphasizing the size, not the pickup type. Well, whatever floats your boat, Charvel. I thought this would make a good Strat killer since it's by the same people handling the Strats but the politics of product differentiation dictates the need for an obvious difference so this had to give & it's slanted the other way. Good to see this one featuring 22 frets instead of its 24 fretted predecessors. These days, I prefer 22 frets so might give this a go when it gets here. FYI, those are Duncan's Custom Flats & Hot Rails in the bridge.
