Charvel Pro-Mod Plus Dinky DK24 HH HT Ash Electric Guitar - Black Ash

For players who favor the immediacy and simplicity of a hardtail, the Charvel Pro-Mod Plus Dinky DK24 HH HT Ash electric guitar pairs an ash Dinky body with the fast-playing feel and flexible electronics of the DK24 platform. A graphite-reinforced caramelized maple Speed Neck joins an ebony fingerboard with a 12"–16" compound radius and 24 jumbo stainless steel frets, creating a progressively flatter playing surface for precise rhythm work, bends and upper-register leads. Direct-mount Seymour Duncan Nazgûl and Sentient humbuckers feed a five-position blade and series/parallel mini toggle, giving the HH configuration considerably more range than a conventional three-way circuit. A Charvel HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge, Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut and locking tuners complete a streamlined setup centered on stability, straightforward control and modern playability.

Ash Construction Gives This DK24 a Distinct Foundation

An ash body separates this model from the basswood-bodied DK24 HH HT while retaining the compact proportions and double-cutaway profile of the Dinky shape. The body joins the bolt-on neck through a sculpted four-bolt heel, reducing bulk around the joint and giving the fretting hand a clearer path into the guitar's upper register. Rather than adding a figured top or tremolo system, this version keeps its construction straightforward, putting the emphasis on its ash body and fixed-bridge hardware. The result is a distinct hardtail variation within the Pro-Mod Plus DK24 family for players who prefer a stripped-down approach to the platform.

Speed Neck Design Encourages Unrestricted Fretwork

The caramelized maple Speed Neck combines a natural satin finish with rolled fingerboard edges for a smooth feel along the neck, while graphite reinforcement adds stability to the bolt-on construction. Its ebony fingerboard transitions from a 12" radius in the lower register to a flatter 16" radius farther up the neck, complementing everything from chord work to bends and technical lead playing. Twenty-four jumbo stainless steel frets provide a durable playing surface across the full 25.5" scale, while Luminlay side dots improve position visibility in low-light environments. A heel-mounted adjustment wheel also keeps the dual-action truss rod readily accessible for setup adjustments.

Seymour Duncan Humbuckers With Five-Way Switching

Direct-mount Seymour Duncan Nazgûl and Sentient humbuckers provide the DK24 HH HT Ash with its dual-humbucker foundation. Rather than pairing them with a conventional three-way selector, Charvel uses a five-position blade that combines full-pickup selections with inner-coil configurations. Position one engages the full bridge pickup, positions two through four provide alternate coil combinations, and position five accesses the full neck pickup. A low-friction 500K volume potentiometer and no-load tone control complete the primary interface, keeping operation familiar while giving players additional ways to reshape the response of the two-pickup system.

Series and Parallel Modes Add Another Tonal Dimension

The two-position mini toggle works alongside the five-way blade to switch the available pickup combinations between series and parallel operation. With the toggle down, the circuit operates in series; moving it up changes the selections to parallel operation. This approach extends the electronics beyond a simple coil-split function and gives each blade position another operating mode. Players can therefore move through a wider collection of dual-humbucker and coil-combination textures without adding multiple switches or additional controls, making the electronics notably versatile while preserving the streamlined layout expected from a performance-oriented Dinky.

Hardtail Hardware Completes a Streamlined DK24

The Charvel HT6 string-through-body hardtail bridge gives this DK24 a fixed-bridge alternative to the Floyd Rose-equipped models in the Pro-Mod Plus family. Without a tremolo system to manage, the hardware keeps the setup direct and straightforward for players who do not require extensive pitch manipulation. Charvel-branded die-cast locking tuners and a Graph Tech TUSQ XL nut complement the fixed bridge, while the compound-radius ebony fingerboard, stainless steel frets and sculpted heel reinforce the guitar's emphasis on efficient playability. For players seeking ash construction, expanded HH electronics and the simplicity of a fixed bridge, the Charvel Pro-Mod Plus Dinky DK24 HH HT Ash electric guitar brings those elements together in a focused modern platform.
