Duesenberg Paloma Custom Black + Case

The Essentials to Know About the Duesenberg Paloma Custom Guitar + Case

• Ultra-versatile 3-pickup configuration: 2 SplitKing (humbucker and singlecoil modes) + 1 Pearlito singlecoil to cover everything from crystal-clear cleans to thick saturations.


• Modern playing comfort: glued maple neck, Medium D profile, 25.5" / 648 mm scale length, and 22 Jumbo frets for quick and precise handling.


• Premium Duesenberg hardware: Z-Tuners machine heads, Steel Saddle Bridge, and Diamond Deluxe Tremola vibrato system (short version) for reliable tuning stability.


• High-end finish and details: gold hardware, multi-layer cream binding, and iconic "Wing" inlays on the fingerboard.

A special edition designed as a showcase of Duesenberg craftsmanship

This Paloma Custom highlights Duesenberg's approach: a solidbody guitar with a refined look, built with high-end in-house components and electronics designed to expand tonal ranges without complicating use. The "Wing" inlays and gold hardware enhance its exclusive and stage-ready character.

For which guitarists and styles

The Paloma Custom is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an electric guitar capable of doing it all: pop, rock, indie, funk, blues, and even heavier styles with a good sustain reserve. Its 5-position selector and mode switches allow switching from a snappy singlecoil-typical sound to denser textures, ideal for riffs and solos.

The tone

Its alder body provides a natural balance: firm lows, present mids, and precise highs, perfect for maintaining definition in chords as well as leads. The two SplitKing pickups are the core of its versatility: in humbucker mode, you get a thicker response with body and great sustain under distortion; in singlecoil mode, the sound becomes more open and snappy, very effective for funky rhythms or bright cleans. The Pearlito pickup in the middle position adds clear and articulate tones, while the custom SplitKing wiring and 5-position selector facilitate combinations without losing level coherence.

Recommended compatible accessories

The guitar comes with a Custom Line Case and all necessary Allen keys. It is factory-strung with 010-050 gauge strings (010-013-017-028-042-050): you can keep this gauge to preserve the balance between comfort, sustain, and tuning stability, especially with the vibrato.
