That’s a nice finish too.
I played one at the L&M in Nova Scotia.. great neck. Felt awesome really.
Didn’t even plug it in.

Congrats Stone!

@Stone Nice to see that I'm not the only one that regularly executes the "Alberta hack". Québec can get fooked with their sales tax

Nice score, Mike. I was lusting for one of these until I put hands on the neck. Too skinny for me and I went with an AZ instead.

Love that blue, reminds me of my first guitar.

I didn’t even realize they were still in business here and it looks like they may just be a strictly Reverb store now. I remember back in the day buying a Parker from them not long after they had opened.

They are reverb while they are renovating

Well it Got here, have to say what an easy transaction, they shipped it in Double boxing with foam and air cushions
Did not test it out completely but neck is superb very little fret sprout, Frets are pretty decent, very well Intonated so not much work there , I will adjust the action to how i like it but does not need much gonna put my 9-40 strings, polish the frets adjust the action, re intonate and Bobs my uncle

Set up this weekend, and then test out the super shred, If not to my liking the Dimarzio super distortion it will be

Just a note or two:

I'd highly recommend the Wilkinson locking saddles as well as ditching the D/G string tree and swapping to staggered tuners.

The US versions come with a single tree and staggered tuners.

+1, the Wilkinson locking saddles are great!

 

[Eagle]

+1 for the Wilkinson saddles and see if it is ok by not running the strings under the string trees. It may work as is without having to get staggered replacements.

Does string trees affect Tuning ? my DK 22 only has 1 String tree curious as to why the DK24 has 2?
BTW my DK22 has very good tuning stability when using the trem only the most abusive Vai type will put it out of tune
Ive not set up my DK24 yet but plan to this weekend

 

[Iron1]

Gorgeous fiddle. Congrats!

 

[hemmelight]

String trees can be another point of friction for the string to get caught on and mess up tuning. Not 100% of course, but it happens. I’m sure Eagle can explain in better detail than I.

Yes they add friction themselves and add downforce to the nut ( also adding friction.) if you can just don’t run the strings under them and see how it sounds open. Remember that only the open string tones are affected so don’t worry about it sounding slightly less positive. The main thing is if it doesn’t buzz it will stay in tune far better. The idea of staggered tuners is slightly more downforce than nothing but also eliminating the extra contact point.
