The Duesenberg Sound
The Starplayer TTheV guitar has a unique sound that you can't really get from another electric guitar. This can be attributed to its acoustic-inspired tonewoods, featuring a laminated Spruce top with laminated Flamed Maple back and sides. This combination of materials not only allows the Duesenberg Starplayer TV to sound open and vibrant when unplugged, but it also gives you a unique tone that works wonderfully with any clean or crunchy amp settings.
The body is paired with a 1-piece Maple neck, set into the body and carved to a classic 'D' shape. The Maple adds some bright top-end snap that gives notes a clearer and more immediate response, while the neck profile will suit both contemporary and traditional players alike. Finishing off the wood choices, you have an Indian Rosewood fingerboard that feels super-silky under the fingers.
High-Quality Tremola
If you have ever played a vintage guitar with a tremolo, it's likely that you would have encountered some serious tuning issues. That's why Duesenberg has sought to provide players with a charming, vintage-esque guitar that has a few modern perks.
The Starplayer TV most notably features Duesenberg's ultra-smooth Deluxe Tremola. This elegant system is very Bigsby-like, and allows you to change strings far more easily. The Z-Tuners are also very tasteful; keeping your tuning rock solid while also easing the string-changing process.
Iconic Duesenberg Pickups
Most Duesenbergs come equipped with a custom humbucker in the bridge position and a P90 in the neck. The Starplayer TV is no exception. These award-winning pickups are synonymous with blues, rock and country; regarded for their clarity and precision. The GrandVintage humbucker and Domino P90 make for a perfect pairing, versatile enough for the aforementioned genres and more.
