Description

BEAUTY. CLARITY. RELIABILITY.

THE STARPLAYER TV IS KNOWN FOR ITS CLEAR AND FLEXIBLE TONE THAT MAKES YOU FEEL AT HOME IN ANY GENRE.

It wasn't designed to do a specific job well. It was designed to bring something new to any table. It is for artists who don't want to be restricted by their instrument and for those who are looking to create a voice of their own.

And the Starplayer TV brings a lot of tools to help you along the way.

In contrast to other semi-acoustics a Duesenberg delivers silky-smooth and lively highs. Due to the well-thought combination of pick-ups and the possibilities to switch them, this guitar delivers a wide range of sounds – suitable for Rhythm & Blues and hot Rock´n Roll riffs as well as straight Rockabilly licks. It’s the ultimate instrument for guitarists who want a special guitar and who like traditional sounds. Custom Line Case included.

 

HEADSTOCK & TUNERS
THE ELEGANT HIGH-GLOSS BLACK HEADSTOCK HOLDS OUR SUPER-SMOOTH Z-TUNERS.

These tuners are not only extremely precise and super comfortable to use, they also allow you to hide the sharp string ends inside the tuner shaft, so they don't damage your case, gigbag or fingertips.

Maintenance-free life guaranteed.


NECK & FRETBOARD
OUR CLEVER PLEK PROCESS ALLOWS FOR AN UNUSALLY LOW ACTION WHILE STILL KEEPING ALL NOTES CLEAN AND CLEAR WITHOUT STRING-BUZZ.

The string-action, the height of the strings over the frets, can only be set low and comfortable if all frets are precisely the same height. To achieve that, we use the ingeniuos Plek machine that levels all frets with a precision of 1/100 of a millimeter. Each fret is measured and cut individually to achieve optimal playability of the instrument.
Our elaborate finishing work is done entirely by hand. Each fret is polished to perfection and all fretboard edges are carefully rounded off for a smooth feel.

This all is our promise to you that a Duesenberg will always feel great in your hands.

PICKUPS
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 which 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.

DIAMOND DELUXE VIBRATO
MEET THE VIBRATO SYSTEM THAT HAS CHANGED THE IDEA OF WHAT A CLASSIC DESIGN CAN DO.

Buttery smooth action, reliable tuning stability and string changes that are a breeze are just the main aspects of our unique vibrato design.

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.
