The Charvel Satchel Signature Pro-Mod DK22 HH FR M Satin White Bengal is the signature model of Steel Panther guitarist Satchel, combining bold '80s aesthetics with modern performance. With its flashy Satin White Bengal finish, sleek design, and high-performance components, this guitar is built for speed, tone, and attention. Based on the classic Charvel Dinky platform, it features a lightweight alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with graphite reinforcement for rock-solid stability. The ultra-fast “speed neck” profile and 12"-16" compound-radius maple fingerboard with 24 jumbo frets provide effortless playability—ideal for high-speed solos, intricate runs, and technical riffs. Whether you're shredding on stage or recording in the studio, this guitar delivers.
The body of the Charvel Satchel Signature DK22 adheres to the beloved Dinky shape, long favored by shredders for its sleek contours and ergonomic feel. The alder body offers a resonant and balanced tone, while its compact design ensures comfort and full control, even during extended playing sessions. Its bolt-on maple neck, reinforced with graphite, ensures incredible neck stability, even under heavy touring or aggressive playing styles. The thin speed neck profile, paired with a compound fretboard radius, creates an ideal surface for fast legato lines, tapping runs, and complex chord voicings. Generous cutaways further enhance access to higher frets, letting your solos soar across the entire fretboard.
For his signature model, Satchel selected a set of modern Fishman Fluence Open Core Classic humbuckers – a perfect blend of cutting-edge technology and tonal versatility. These pickups, powered by Alnico V magnets, are renowned for their high output, transparent response, and precise articulation, making them ideal for everything from classic rock to aggressive metal. A push/pull switch integrated into the volume knob allows seamless switching between two distinct voicings. Voicing 1 delivers a classic, vintage-style humbucker tone with rich dynamics, warm compression, and punchy midrange – perfect for expressive rhythm playing and soaring leads. In contrast, Voicing 2 offers a modern, high-definition character with tight low-end response and extended clarity, tailored for high-gain settings, drop tunings, and fast solos. This dual-voice configuration makes the Charvel Satchel Signature DK22 an exceptionally flexible instrument, capable of shifting effortlessly between retro textures and contemporary tones without compromise.
A signature shred guitar wouldn’t be complete without a Floyd Rose 1000 Series double-locking tremolo, allowing extreme whammy bar techniques—from dramatic dive bombs to high-pitched squeals—without compromising tuning stability. This trusted tremolo system locks the strings at both the nut and the bridge, providing rock-solid tuning performance even under heavy-handed trem use. At the Strat-style headstock, Charvel-branded die-cast tuners ensure smooth, accurate tuning adjustments and long-term reliability, whether you're in the studio or out on tour.
