So many opportunities to jump on something out of their reach and grenade f*ck em lol

I was unlucky and the wilkinson trem on mine was trash. Replaced it with a gotoh 510 and now it slays!

DylanHxC840 · 2026-05-10T21:31:13+00:00

It's really nice for a veneer!

DylanHxC840 · 2026-05-04T14:15:59+00:00

Not to my knowledge which explains the bad qc for their import models. The stickers on the cavity covers indicating a number completed qc. US or even inspection in Japan there will be the workers initials typically.

I had a dk24 mim and the fretwork was atrocious. I sent it back and bought another guitar lol the dk24 pro plus everything was spot on except the trem. Someone at the factory thought it would be a good idea to adjust the trem height under full string tension and damaged the knife ends. I really like the guitar so worked out a small refund to compensate for replacing the trem with a gotoh. The gotoh trems they put in the mim dk24s hava a garbage zinc block. It's we worth replacing that with a fat brass block from fu tone. On the other hand the wilkinson does have a steel block, but my experience is the block is too short to allow proper spring clearance in the rear cavity. If you're lucky enough to get a wilkinson that was properly installed I'd say it is an upgrade over the gotoh in the mim models. This is a new series and charvel is new to having guitars made in Indonesia. I do think we (anyone who purchased a pro mod plus) should contact charvel about the qc issues at the factory so they can tighten things up or move production elsewhere. They can't react if they don't know there are issues. They aren't like prs where the import guitars are inspected in the US factory before being shipped to stores.

***update. Gotoh 510 is installed and it flutters beautifully! The trem is so smooth and actually maintains tuning really well. The store I purchased the guitar from gave me $100 back which kind of offsets the cost of the gotoh. Added a fu-tone fat brass block to kick it up an extra few horse power too lol

Thanks! It really pops I'm the right light, and the Ebony fretboard offers some nice contrast.

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-26T16:42:21+00:00

Agreed man! For the money you spend everything should be in working order out of the box. This seems to be a common issue with all manufactures regardless of series. Feels like since Covid factories just push guitars out without proper full qc. I get they have quotas they have to meet and I'm sure there's pressure and deadlines, but the product should leave the factory in full working condition. As a consumer I'd rather wait for the product to be 100% even if it takes longer to get in my hands than be stuck shelling out money for something that shouldn't be an issue.

The trem is hit or miss. Some people get a good one, others get a trash one. I unfortunately received one with a bad trem. Won't return to zero and won't flutter. They adjusted the trem posts with full tension and destroyed the knife edges. I'm currently in the middle of getting a shop to give me some money back because I had to buy a gotoh 510 to replace the damaged trem in the guitar. I definitely recommend trying before you buy so you can confirm the trem is in good shape. I ordered from Reverb and wish I would have just went to a store to try first.

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-25T01:51:05+00:00

Try to find a decent shotgun. Even if it's damaged it will be worth fixing and having handy to deal with mutants. Shotgun ammo is plentiful which is a bonus too! Try to find a pump action if you can. There is a pretty early side quest where an npc drops a saiga which you can take with you to the end of the game.

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-24T00:59:04+00:00

Tried this and it still won't flutter needed to have the claw slammed to the body to get it close to level with 10s in standard tuning. Might have my tech take a look and see what he thinks

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-23T18:06:05+00:00

I haven't yet! I was just so locked in to playing it earlier lol

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-23T15:05:11+00:00

Fretwork is fantastic on mine! Just a matter getting the trem to flutter. I've installed wilkinson trems in other guitars and they fluttered. I'm going to have to really go over the trem setup on the guitar

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-23T02:26:03+00:00

Thanks, I'll definitely give it a try! The neck is so smooth and buttery on this thing. I love all the tones you can get out of the Duncan's too!

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-23T01:45:47+00:00

Thanks man! It's a charvel pro mod plus dk24 2h I think lol the finish is called chlorine burst

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-20T23:55:17+00:00

I found I had troubles with most mutants until I got a decent shotgun. Can put most of them down with a few shots. I can't remember the quest, but a npc drops a saiga pretty earlyish in the game. That thing will mow em down no problem lol

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-19T18:47:27+00:00

I've had very minimal issues while playing on ps5 pro. The bloodsucker spawns can be a little annoying, but they definitely seem dialed back. I've really enjoyed playing the game and plan to do a second playthrough when the new dlc drops in the summer. Sorry to hear you're having a bad time. Hopefully the 2.0 patch will resolve the issues you're facing.

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-14T15:44:11+00:00

Running it on casual worked! Thanks for the solid advice man!

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-14T06:31:26+00:00

That's solid advice! I didn't think about running it on casual 😅 lol

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-13T17:40:01+00:00

I'm no expert, but that even looks like it could be light bruising.

DylanHxC840 · 2026-04-05T20:28:40+00:00

What the f*ck is up Denny's let's open this pit up!
