          More like 1 new, the dk24, although they did a black version with red pickups a year or so ago. It's what the motocross guys call BNG (bold new graphics).

          That said, I like the natural okoume DK24, might check one out when they hit stores.

              If I ever realized I needed a floyded axe, I'd get the one in charcoal grey.

                I love the tigerstriped one, but the rest isn't very speicial i think. It's very similar to previous years.

                  I prefer the truss wheel. No chance of someone stripping the truss adjustment. They used to have a heal adjustment that required removing the neck. I refuse to buy a guitar that require neck removal or loosing for adjustment.

                      My favorite guitar is an older So-Cal with the heel adjustment. It is a PITA when you have to remove the neck every time you want to change the tension. I'd be willing to give the ugly wheel a try.

                        I actually love the looks and functionality of the wheel, but I hate the new placement of the volume knob.

                          Fair enough, but Charvels are supposed to come that way. Would you want that thing on Stratocaster?

                          Contoured heel, offset dots, offset dots and that stupid ugly truss wheel? If you want all that buy a Jackson

                          Next thing you know there will be shark tooth inlays.

                              I rather like the looks of it, to be honest.
