In 1995 the world was introduced to the original Duesenberg Starplayer. Over the years this iconic model has developed into one of the most impactful new lines within the music industry. Today the Starplayer TV spends countless hours in studios and stages around the world, with legends like Mike Campbell, Joe Walsh, Ron Wood, John Mayer, Bob Dylan, Johnny Depp, Chris Cornell, Dave Stewart and many others placing the Duesenberg Starplayer TV into the history books.
Our custom 25.5" scale length enables tight bottom end and wide frequency response while still being a breeze to play. Our genuine 10/50 factory strings are expertly fine tuned to perfectly match these characteristics.
A Plek processed fretboard guarantees perfectly level frets. This is the basis for our multi-step fret polishing and setup work all done by hand that eventually makes all our instruments play like nothing you have ever played before.
Semi-Hollow guitars deliver a unique and open response that cannot be compared to a Solid-Body instrument. Our specialised construction additionally blocks most feedback and keeps you going even on high gain levels.
Our 25th Anniversary Gold Leaf Edition Is Fitted With A Custom Silver Plated Vibrato Unit. The Diamond Deluxe gives you the best tone while being lightweight. Heavy duty needle and nylon bearings give you the highly responsive Duesenberg feel when using the vibrato arm. The arm itself can be turned freely for 360° and can be adjusted to your preferred angle and length. The strings are simply guided through the holes in the bar underneath the arm-axis and can be lead to the tuners without any hassle.
Duesenberg pickups are known for their distinct, clear and versatile tone that easily cuts through the mix from mellow jazz to supercharged rock. Our creamy Domino P90 in the neck position and the classically voiced GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge form an all-around dream team many have tried to replicate. The acclaimed middle position of the heavy duty 3-way switch features a special wiring that filters certain low-end frequencies out of the humbucker signal. The result is an open, funky and extremely versatile addition to your pallet of tone.
We believe tuning your instrument yourself is an important moment before actually playing it. Duesenberg Z-Tuners are specifically made to give you a super smooth and precise feel when tuning. They also allow you to elegantly hide the end of the cut-off string inside the tuner shaft so it's not damaging your case, gigbag or fingertips.
All hardware on this instrument is silver plated. You will find the geometrical three steps in almost every part on our instruments, from the curves on the headstock to the shape of the output jack. Silver has a beautiful clear and bright shine that ages naturally over time..
