New Charvel Desolation Star and Soloist

http://www.charvel.com/guitars//sear...tno=2931430596 This makes my inner Roope Latvala fanboy happy. Might get this one instead of single cut.

If this line sells well, do ya think they'll offer a USA or MIJ line? Or perhaps bring back the USA Std. Star but with the neck thru/24 frets?

Thanks Toejam! I just took the time to look at the web site. Really diggin' the Star!

Drooling over the single hum floyd model........ sudden feeling of GAS coming on....

[Bionic]

On the Star... the Solid Colors in the DST1 do not have binding. Only the figured tops. There is a little flexibility there option wise for the "old school" Charvel people. These should be at your Dealers after NAMM.

Thanks for jumping in Bionic.

Lo, for both ye Star and Soloist feature controls at a distance from ye bridge pickup! Well done, Charvel'ians! For this knight shalln't crash'eth mine rhythm paw into controls whence attacking ye strings with Earth-shattering palm-mute'age!

This post now concludeth!

Am I the only one who can't get over the ugly abalone inlays in the 2 hum version of the Star? The dots look way better.

Nope. And Shark fins would be even better than dots.

No, I'm there with you. I might try to get my paws on one with the dots eventually.

I like the abalone binding and fancy inlays. Its not a schecter, so I wont think of them. I have the original soloist, and USA rr-1's and stuff. The fancy inlays are a nice change. This guitar is for the market of the new players who are starting out. Parents will suprize them with one or somthing. Huge market for that, as I see it happening at GC every time I go there.

I can see a lot of Charvel pointy necks with wide dots coming to Ebay, if the neck pockets are right. But I will give a big thumbs up to J/C for what they're doing. GAS is such a PITA

I didn't even think of that but yes, absolutely. I have a couple of bound, 24 fret DK2 necks that would look bitchin on the single hum white star.
