Description
The double-cut DC-1 ST is arguably the one that has fewest ties to Charvels of the past. With its slight carving within the lower cutaway and the asymmetrical shape, the guitar is a mix between the PRS SE double-cuts and ESP LTD Viper ranges; thanks in part to its hardtail denomination, it also weighs in at under 3kg.
To keep tuning stable, all ST guitars are loaded with locking Charvel tuners and, at 52mm width, the tune-o-matic bridge is a full two millimetres narrower than the Floyd Rose's saddle spacing. As with other Desolations we're tested, the binding's masking lip by the heel is disappointing - and we prefer the flat black finish to that of our trans-flame maple option, in this scenario anyway.
