This guitar is now sold, but more on order - call for update

The list of guitarist now seen playing a Duesenberg guitar is growing with John Mayer, Bob Dylan and Brian Ray (Paul McCartney) joining the ranks - Whilst the following players have now owned one for a while :- Joe Walsh, The Kooks (Hugh Harris), The Hooters (Eric Brazilian) Tom Bukovac, Andy Powell (Wishbone Ash), Paul Carrack, Placebo (Alex Lee), Mike Campbell (Tom Petty) as well as Ron Wood, Billy Gibbons and Mr Pirates of the Caribbean himself, Johnny Depp - So if you are in the market for cool looking guitar, that is fun to own, delivers a good playing performance and certainly brings something different to the table, then the Duesenberg Starplayer TV could or should be top of your wish list

The semi acoustic body has an arched flamed maple back, with an arched spruce top, complete with f-hole and in this case is finished in black, with some additional glitz provided by the gold sparkle scratchplate - You still get a central block in the body to assist with sustain and eliminate feedback - Equipped with a P90 style single coil pick-up in the neck position, plus a vintage humbucker in the bridge position - Both pick-ups utilise alnico magnets to provide plenty of warmth, yet this pick-up combination, along with the semi hollow body, ensures the guitar has a natural crisp, full bodied and lively tone, which is even more noticeable when both pick-ups are on together (3 way switch in the middle position) for Duesenberg's own blend of 'twang' - Fitted with chrome plated hardware, including Duesenbergs own tuners and of course the Super 'Tremola' vibrato system, so another retro feature there for you

Sure the Doozie has taken some influences from Rickenbacker, Gretsch and Hofner guitars amongst others, but it still has its own character and art decor styling, furthermore it comes with a big red tick in the box marked 'build quality' along with a more modern playing performance than can not be found on many 50's or 60's based instruments - On clean amp settings the guitar leans towards the tones required for rock 'n' roll, jingly jangly pop, country and Indie/Brit Pop styles, yet can delve nicely into a jazz vibe ir required - Add a touch of overdrive for some great crunch rhythm tones or for the more simple, tuneful solos associated with the Indie/Brit Pop styles as well as rockabilly

Finally remember to try a few of the Duesenberg Sound Clips, that can be found on the Duesenberg web site - click here
