Essential Information About the Duesenberg Alliance Series Joe Walsh Guitar
- Extra-thin semi-hollow with center block for the punch of a solidbody and the resonance of a hollow body, control over feedback effect and generous sustain.
- Unique pickup combination: LittleToaster (bridge) with precise bite + SingleTwin Mini (neck) silent, remarkable clarity and dynamics.
- Radiator Tremola vibrato ultra-smooth, adjustable (360deg arm), exemplary tuning stability and simplified string changes.
- PLEK-machined fretting for perfect flatness and consistent low action across the 25.5" / 648 mm scale length.
A Signature Collaboration Designed with Joe Walsh
Born from direct exchanges with the legendary Joe Walsh, this Alliance Series is full of personal and functional nods. The "Morse code" inlays on the fretboard and the Tibetan knot between the two pickups mark the instrument, while the mix of nickel and gold hardware reflects Joe's distinctive aesthetic. The goal: an expressive guitar, reliable on stage and in the studio, made for all demanding guitarists.
Who Is It For and What Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to expert musicians seeking a versatile semi-hollow electric guitar. Classic rock, blues, country, pop, indie, and even modern jazz benefit from its precise attack, high-end definition, and strong volume handling. The Medium D neck profile and 12" / 305 mm radius fretboard provide immediate comfort for rhythm players and soloists alike.
Sound
The laminated spruce top combined with flamed laminated maple back and sides, coupled with the center block, delivers a bright projection, singing mids, and tight lows. The SingleTwin Mini neck pickup retains the single-coil spirit while remaining silent: ideal for clear arpeggios and open chords. The LittleToaster bridge pickup adds brightness and bite for riffs without harshness. The simple wiring (1 volume, 1 tone, 3-way selector) emphasizes natural dynamics, while the Steel Saddle Bridge and Radiator Tremola preserve intonation and sustain.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
The Duesenberg Custom Line hard case is included. For maintenance and stage use, opt for nickel strings 10-50 (original gauge), a strap with secure strap locks compatible attachments, and a capo suited for a 12" radius. A stable guitar stand is also advised to protect the semi-hollow body.
