Charvel Desolation™ DST-1 FR
This looks awesome! Charvel has several different models. I don't have a single guitar with the Floyd Rose and I have been looking for this style of guitar..
The Soloist is awesome too, but I really like that Star body profile.Two classic Charvel body shapes return in sleekly modern Desolation series form with the introduction of new Desolation Star DST and Soloist DX guitars. With a variety of features and finishes prized by discerning players everywhere, both deadly models deliver the devastating tone, killer looks and high-performance playability that separate the Desolation series from all others.
The Desolation Star DST-1 FR features the return of Charvel’s classic Star body profile, with features including a through-body maple neck, compound radius (12”-16”) rosewood fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets and Charvel “shark tooth” inlays, EMG® 85 (neck) and 81 (bridge) humbucking pickups with black bezels and three-way toggle switching, single domed metal volume control knob, Floyd Rose® locking tremolo, sealed die-cast tuners and black nickel hardware. Available in Black and Snow White gloss finishes with matching headstock; flame maple-top models also available with multi-ply binding (body, neck and headstock) in Trans Red, Trans Black and Trans Blue Smear gloss finishes with matching headstock.

Holy crap! That star is awesome! The Soloist looks cool, too. I still dig pointy guitars. I had an old import Charvel for a long time, and it was my best playing guitar, hands down. It was also the lowest in price.
And yep, markb, pointy headstocks not only look cool, but are a useful deterrent against miscreants, scoundrels, and fans of Englebert Humperdinck music.

Yep I have also been eyeing the Desolation series...the original ones seem like just what I like.
Really dig the star shape too, but those type shapes tend to feel a bit too large for me, plus I don't need a Floyd.

I wonder what would have happened if Keith Richards had been playing a pointy guitar instead of a tele when that guy rushed on stage...And yep, markb, pointy headstocks not only look cool, but are a useful deterrent against miscreants, scoundrels, and fans of Englebert Humperdinck music.
