A Paloma Designed for Low Tunings
When the groove needs to go lower, the Paloma Baritone stands out as a guitar with real character: a Black-Sparkle finish with a stage look, carefully crafted solidbody lutherie, and the Duesenberg DNA with high-end hardware. Designed as a reliable long-term instrument, it positions itself as a premium choice in the baritone world, both for aesthetics and versatility.
Who Is It For, and In Which Styles?
This baritone electric guitar is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want to explore lower tunings without losing precision. It excels in alternative rock, indie, post-rock, modern surf, punchy blues, light stoner, and all music styles where a deep rhythmic foundation, tight riffs, and thick melodic lines are sought. Thanks to its 4-position rotary selector, it easily switches from clear textures to denser sounds for lead parts.
The Sound
The alder body provides a natural balance between present mids, controlled lows, and clear highs, which is particularly appreciated on a baritone where definition is essential. The pickup combination enhances this versatility: the GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge delivers punch, sustain, and a nice thickness for riffs, while the single coils (Alnico Blade at the neck and Pearlito in the middle position) offer more open and articulate sounds, perfect for wide chords and clear arpeggios. The Volume + Tone controls allow quick brightness adjustment, and the Diamond Deluxe Tremola adds subtle expressiveness (vibratos, gentle dives) without compromising note sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The guitar comes with a Duesenberg Custom Line Bag and the necessary Allen wrenches. The Duesenberg Standard strap pins are indicated as Straplock compatible: if you use a strap lock system, simply check the exact compatibility with your Strap Lock model before installation.
