Overview

Angel Vivaldi's otherworldly talent and unique and flamboyant style has earned him a reputation as one of the most celebrated and prolific instrumentalist guitarists in modern times. Charvel proudly collaborated with the New Jersey native to bring you the Angel Vivaldi Signature Pr-Mod DK24-6 Nova - a 6-string axe that packs as much phenomenal force as the man playing it. Vivaldi's signature Nova axe delivers spectacular style in a divine Lucerne Aqua Firemist finish with color matched reverse licensed Fender Stratocaster headstock, gorgeous caramelized maple fingerboard with unique cascading black dot inlays, gold pickup bobbins and gold hardware.

The modified Dinky basswood body with scalloped lower back bout and sculpted shredder's cut heel is paired with a bolt-on maple neck, custom-shaped to Vivaldi's preferences and featuring graphite reinforcement, scarf joint and a silky-smooth satin finish on the back. Luminlay side dots provide excellent guidance along the fretboard while on dark stages, while a heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel makes neck relief tweaks a breeze. Built for sublime playability, its 12"-16" compound radius fingerboard features comfortable rolled edges, 24 jumbo frets and Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut.

Honestly, if you're looking for a guitar that you want to have fun playing, this is it. The only reason I put three stars for value is because it's made in Korea, but still priced in the range of made in USA and made in Japan guitars and doesn't come with a case or stainless steel frets. But, it has all the wow factor you could ever want in a guitar. When you play it, it just feels like perfection. The feel, the tone, all of it. The trem stays in tune like a champ even with heavier whammy use. I know that it's priced higher than the comparable Pro Mod DK models that are made in Mexico, but it's worth it. The neck feels better to me. While I loved those models, the I'd often get fatigue from extensive playing. Not the case with this model. My other main guitars are a 90's Ibanez Jem BSB and an Aristides 060, and I'd have a hard time letting this one go over the others. It's that good. I was worried that I'd need to deal with fret sprouting like some of the Pro Mod DKs I've played, but so far, none of that. The pickups are killer. If I recall correctly, these were the same pickups used in some of the old Petrucci Ibanez models.
