Have been visiting this topic lately. My specific reason is that I ordered the Charvel 1888 and it does not say Quarter Sawn. Just 1 piece maple with graphite reinforcement.
I almost ordered the DK24 SS last year but didn't. That neck is quarter sawn but also with the reinforcement. I find it interesting that they switched it up this year. If the Quarter Sawn sole purpose is for reinforcement I would imagine that the DK24 SS is stable as can be but maybe they did not need all that and changed it up this year. Who knows? Just something I had been looking at recently.
Agreed on splitting hairs but that is what a lot of us do
I doubt I will ever have the same exact guitar with the only difference being quarter sawn vs not to compare either way.
