This 2012 Charvel Desolation DC-1 ST is a solidbody, neck-through electric guitar built for focused sustain and modern rock performance. It pairs a mahogany body with a mahogany neck‑through construction, producing pronounced low‑mid weight and long decay. The fingerboard is Indian rosewood, offering a warm, slightly slick feel under the hand and traditional tonal rounding. The guitar is finished in black and shaped in Charvel’s recognizable contour that balances access to upper frets with a comfortable playing posture.
Electronics are tailored for high‑output, tight response: two EMG humbucking pickups (active) deliver punchy, compressed tone with fast attack for palm‑muted riffing and searing leads. Hardware and spec set include a 25.5" scale length, 24 frets, sealed tuners, and a fixed bridge. The control layout is straightforward — master volume and master tone with a three‑way toggle — letting the player dial between bridge, neck, or combined pickup voices quickly on stage.
