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.
My guess is cost. QS is more expensive (more wasted wood) and if it isn't necessary (due to the graphite rods) then I understand the switch.

After 13 years in the lumber business, i can tell you for sure that anything quartersawn will be more stable. That is a proven fact.

Do you know if there's any wastage in the QS & is it a more expensive cut or anything?
