NGD: It's a shooting star......by Charvel.

Force · 08-08-2012, 06:45 PM

At last, it arrived........& no battle scars either. Phew!!

It rocked up Tuesday morning but I haven't done a thing with her apart from these pics coz Ive been incredibly ill.
I'd have to be not to care about a new guitar, right?

I will get around to a suitable report but for now pics & a brief description will have to suffice.

Overall, for the price it's a very nice axe, comfy to hold & no neck dive. But it is chinese & you can tell by some of the finer finishing details
but nothing to be concerned about. The neck is a bit chunky, I guess I was expecting more of a Jackson feel but it's still nice.

Anyway, on to the pics..............

TimSE · 08-08-2012, 06:49 PM

Awesome score!

ConnorGilks · 08-08-2012, 06:50 PM

Nice! Haven't seen one of these by Charvel before. Very cool!

BornToLooze · 08-08-2012, 07:11 PM

Hell yeah, the world needs more random stars

Tristoner7 · 08-08-2012, 07:23 PM

Very cool, I love the Desolation Series.

Randyrhoads123 · 08-08-2012, 07:25 PM

These things look awesome! The only thing close to it I've played is an ESP LTD Gus G signature, and it was a little difficult to hit the upper frets. Any troubles with that?

brynotherhino · 08-08-2012, 07:29 PM

Those are so cool haha. Congrats dude!

TheFerryMan · 08-08-2012, 08:17 PM

And There's the GAS.

That is an AMAZING Axe man. Great grab.

trasherfromhell · 08-08-2012, 08:31 PM

Nice! I had not seen a Charvel like this before. Any shots from the back?

Ironbird · 08-08-2012, 08:57 PM

These Desolation Stars are really awesome guitars! Congrats!

All Charvel needs to do now is stay the heck away from abalone - they're using it on everything these days!

jon66 · 08-08-2012, 09:09 PM

I don't know what's got me more excited - the guitar or that carpet. Yeah baby!!

Congrats though man.

rawrkunjrawr · 08-08-2012, 09:22 PM

Words cannot describe how I want to break into your house and play that and leave a cutout when I leave of me playing it.

Into Obsidian · 08-08-2012, 10:07 PM

...god damn thats sexy

ittoa666 · 08-08-2012, 10:34 PM

I prefer the ones without the abalone, but it's still hot.

Blue1970Cutlass · 08-09-2012, 09:22 AM

Love it!

JoshuaSeaEater · 08-09-2012, 02:18 PM

Wow. Nice find!

fireheart82 · 08-09-2012, 04:32 PM

WOW!! Is it possible to get it with the Hockey Stick?

groverj3 · 08-09-2012, 04:39 PM

Love Charvel starz.

People rag on the Desolation series for being MIC but I would be ok with it with less bling

iRaiseTheDead · 08-10-2012, 01:57 AM

VERY nice!

Force · 08-10-2012, 10:11 PM

Yeah guys, it's nice alright. Got around to hooking her up a giving it a good thrash n shred. Sounds awesome, plays smoothly, very comfy, really loving her,

Randyrhoads123.......upper access not a problem, easier on my dinkys/fusions etc but still fine.

I'm surprised how different it sounds to my MH400, only real diff here is the body shape. It's mahogany but sounds more alder yet different to my DK w/EMG's. Powerchords rip out with such clarity it's mindblowing.

If anyone is interested in this type of guitar, I say get one of these, at this price you can't lose.

Blue1970Cutlass · 08-11-2012, 05:05 PM

What case is that?

Kind of looks like its built to universally fit Stars, Kellys, maybe even a Death Angel or Rhoads?

Jarmake · 08-11-2012, 05:52 PM

Whoah, that's one sexy beast.. The star shape isn't quite my thing, but hey, it's black, it's flamed and goddamn it's sexy.

Nagash · 08-13-2012, 07:04 PM

too much abalone

now seriously, HNGD. I love these geetars

elrrek · 08-14-2012, 04:41 AM

I really hope to pick up a DS-2 ST before the end of the year, serious amounts if guitar for little out lay.

Jack Secret · 08-14-2012, 05:39 PM

It's Booger's guitar from Revenge of the Nerds!
