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.
In celebration of Duesenberg's historic milestone of their 25th anniversary, they have released a very significant version of the Starplayer TV. The 25th Anniversary Limited Edition, is finished in a striking 24 carat Gold Leaf and Silver Leaf accents on the sides and neck as well as on the inside of the guitar. All topped off with elegant silver plated hardware.
Diamond Deluxe Tremola - Duesenberg's 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 higly responsive Duesenberg feel when using the vibrato arm. The arm itself can be turned freely for 360 degrees 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.
Duesenberg’s 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.
Nickel Hardware
You will find the geometrical three steps in almost every part on Duesenberg instruments, from the curves on the headstock to the shape of the output jack.
When compared to regular chrome finishes, nickel has a beautiful warm and elegant sheen and ages naturally over time. It's the way things were done before chrome became the standard. If you don't want the hardware on your instrument to age, Duesenberg recommend regular cleaning.
Pleked Fretboard
The fretboard is to your music, what the handle of a brush is to a painting.
It says a lot about an instrument how much care was taken here. Every single Duesenberg instrument is expertly pleked for buzz-free playability all throughout the fretboard. It is then carefully finished by hand and precisely set up by one of Duesenberg’s professional luthiers. The luthier responsible also leaves his or her signature inside the instrument. This is all Duesenberg’s promise to you that a Duesenberg instrument will always feel great in your hands.
Made to hold something that lasts. A good case is one that’s more sturdy that what’s inside.
Handsome, laid-back and simply a good place for your instrument. Meet the Duesenberg Custom Line Cases. True flightcase quality, classically shaped, beautifully handcrafted and made to endure the most realistic and unrealistic abuses. It’s a case you can just throw in the back of a car, train or airplane and won’t have to worry about.
