Hey fellas , picked up an EVH standard recently ….nice enough guitar , feels good , sounds okay…But eyeing a DK24 (new version , the matte blue with the roasted maple neck) that someone is selling locally.
What’s your take between the 2 , is the charvel a more ‘well appointed’ guitar then the evh standard ? Any feedback appreciated ;)
 
Charvel most likely doesn't have a locking nut, make sure to double check that (some do occasionally).

I'm also looking locally between an EVH 5150, Charvel Pro Mod, and Jackson Pro Dinky.
 
Sweetwater has the specs listed below for both. Go to a local GC & try both. Or order both online & return what you don't like. You've got 45 days to try out & return if you don't like. GC does price matching for gear but ask a GC rep for what qualifies.
