Charvel Announces Pro-Mod DK22 SSS 2PT CM Mahogany with Walnut

The Dinky mahogany body with figured walnut top features a sculpted shredder’s cut heel and scalloped lower back bout for comfortable and unencumbered upper-fret access.

The Dinky mahogany body with figured walnut top features a sculpted shredder’s cut heel and scalloped lower back bout for comfortable and unencumbered upper-fret access. The caramelized bolt-on maple neck has graphite-reinforced rods for rock-solid stability and a silky-smooth hand-rubbed satin urethane back finish for sublime playability, Luminlay side dots for fluorescent fingerboard guidance on dark stages and heel-mount truss rod adjustment wheel for quick and painless neck relief tweaks.

Designed for high-speed playing, its 12”-16” compound radius caramelized maple fingerboard features comfortable rolled edges, 22 jumbo frets, pearloid dot inlays and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut. The SSS pickup configuration features a Seymour Duncan Custom Hot Rails Strat SHR-1B humbucking bridge pickup, Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 single-coil middle pickup and Seymour Duncan Custom Flat Strat SSL-6 RWRP single-coil neck pickup for glassy, vintage-style timbre with classic Strat® chime. Other premium modern features include a five-way blade pickup switch, skirted Stratocaster-style knobs for the volume (with 500K EVH Bourns low-friction potentiometer) and no-load tone controls, and Gotoh Custom 510 tremolo bridge. Available in Natural with gold hardware.

In challenging times, sometimes elemental music, like the late Jessie Mae Hemphill’s raucous Mississippi hill country blues, is the best salve. It reminds us of what’s truly essential––musically, culturally, and emotionally. And provides a restorative and safe place, where we can open up, listen, and experience without judgement. And smile.

This legendary vintage rack unit will inspire you to think about effects with a new perspective.

When guitarists think of effects, we usually jump straight to stompboxes—they’re part of the culture! And besides, footswitches have real benefits when your hands are otherwise occupied. But real-time toggling isn’t always important. In the recording studio, where we’re often crafting sounds for each section of a song individually, there’s little reason to avoid rack gear and its possibilities. Enter the iconic Eventide H3000 (and its massive creative potential).

The world-traveling cosmic roots rocker calls herself a homebody, but her open-hearted singing and songwriting––in rich display on her new album Owls, Omens, and Oracles––welcomes and embraces inspiration from everything … including the muskrat in her yard.

I don’t think I’ve ever had as much fun in an interview as I did speaking with roots-rock artist Valerie June about her new release, Owls, Omens, and Oracles. At the end of our conversation, after going over schedule by about 15 minutes, her publicist curbed us with a gentle reminder. In fairness, maybe we did spend a bit too much time talking about non-musical things, such as Seinfeld, spirituality, and the fauna around her home in Humboldt, Tennessee.
