I picked a Charvel Pro Stock DS1 up at a local guitar shop, guess it’s a limited production run. I’m glad because It’s a fantastic guitar. The Charvel Pro Stock DS1 guitar is a very nice instrument and really resonates with tone. The neck feels fantastic and is really smooth owed to its unfinished nature. Also It is very stable, It came stock with nine gauge strings which is unacceptable for my tastes, so i bumped to tens, then eventually put on eleven guage EB power Slinkys and just hoped i did not need to take it in for a setup in a week. Have had no problems maybe slightly raised the action but not enough for me to take it in or risk self tightening the truss rod, and i mean slightly. I have had a maple Strat neck that did alright moving to elevens but there was more movement in that guitar’s neck than in the Charvel. The pickups are fantastic, I have never had Seymour Duncans and they are great. If you make a mistake they let you know… and reward you for good playing. Very accurate.
