Very nice instrument ! Some minor flaws but overall very good.
Lecterinho 04.03.2022
Pros :
+ Very nice smooth neck, very comfortable to play
+ Versitile pickup configurations, you can really get a lot out of this pickups
+ Very good bridge which stays in tune even using tremolo
+ Amazing fit and finish

Cons:

- First piece that I've recieved had fret sprout and it made it unplayable so I had to return it for the replacement. The second one is much better ( not perfect but I can accept it)
- Bridge angle after it came out was 45* to the body due to the springs that popped of the tremolo block
- Had to give it to a luthier for a proper setup
- Pots and switch feels cheap
- Original string tree makes guitar go out of tune, had to replace it for the roller one.

Overall i'll give it 4,5 / 5. I'm very glad that I've chosen this instrument. It would be very nice if it will came with stainless steel frets but I supose I'll invest and instal them in the future cause I love the guitar and I want to keep it.

Top tier guitar in 1000 euro range
Leon9 08.03.2022
Pros:
- really comfortable neck (and smells delicious haha)
- gotoh 510 tremolo is really awsome, for the things I do (no crazy dive bombs) it is perfection
- there is a wide range of sounds you are getting out of this guitar, series/parallel switch really does the trick
- holds tuning really really well
- comfortable access to higher frets
- seymour duncan pickups

Cons:
- came with some sharp higher frets. It doesnt hurt my playing but is definitely not good for 1000 euro guitar
- came with weird glossy spot on the side of the neck near headstock, not really visible, probably place where it was hanged during caramelisation
- matte finish is really sensitive, after few days of playing it will start to develop some glossy spots

I really wanted this guitar for so long and it did not disapoint (except few minor, mostly cosmetic things I wrote above). If you want instrument that covers a lot of ground and is real joy to play I would definitely recommend this beauty!

Charvel Rocks
AlexSaint 30.04.2021
This is my second Charvel DK24, and is seriously impressive.

Pros:
+++ The neck feel is exceptional. Thin (but not flimsy), super smooth finish and wonderfully comfortable in all positions.
+ Very good pickups with an excellent 5-way switch system, plus parallel/series switch.
+ The Gotoh 510 is nearly as stable as a Floyd Rose but no Allen keys required.

Cons:
- The frets aren't perfectly finished, but a quick buff during your first string change will resolve that (and I'm really, really picky about frets).
- There's a bit of corrosion on underside of the trem knife edges. Playability and tuning is unaffected, so I'm not bothered.
- The 7/8ths-sized body and smooth finish means it will move around a bit in a hard case. I pad it with a microfibre cloth.

For me, the only way to improve this guitar would be with the stainless steel frets from the USA-built models, but this one is less than a third of the price and has 90% of the spec.

Try one. You won't be disappointed.

Beyond expectations!!!
Skycrawler 22.04.2021
Well,if you are looking for a chameleon guitar that can play from blues,funk and surf rock to hard rock and metal,then this Charvel is the right tool.A large variety of sounds urges you to explore different genres by choosing between Serial and Parallel pick up switching and that feature is the main thing to me..The fretboard has a soft feeling like melted butter..yes!
Its the softest guitar I ever played and it can be compared assuredly with much more expensive instruments.
