This electric guitar from Charvel is highly affordable and comes in three unique color designs.

Magnificent Desolation. The Charvel Desolation series offers more tonal and stylistic options for discerning players everywhere. Devastating tone, killer looks and high-performance playability separate the Desolation series from all others.

Features include a compound radius (12-16 inches) rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and pearloid inlays, pearloid body and headstock binding, dual Charvel active humbucking pickups with three-way toggle switching, Charvel bridge specially designed for compound-radius fingerboards, black nickel hardware, three-on-a-side locking Charvel tuners, and solid and trans finishes (flame maple veneer on trans finishes).

I bought this guitar from Zzounds a few weeks ago and when i received it the electronics were weak, on the 2nd day the out, the output jack broke, i exchanged itfor a new one on zzounds and so far it hasn't failed me,the Tuners always stay in tune,the headstock logo looks awesome,the action on this guitar is perfect for metal,
Sound
you get a " Megadeth " sound from it, which i really like
Features
The separate tone and volume knobs for each pickup really expands your ability to play.
Ease of Use
the action is really great on this so as far as playing chords, harmonics and just basic stuff, there is no problem
Quality
The shape,the neck,the bridge, they all are just perfect, they would last a pretty long time
Value
This guitar is just as good, if not then better than my 1991 Charvel Randy Rhoads V Guitar
Manufacturer Support

The Wow Factor
