Duesenberg Starplayer TV Black Plus

A Duesenberg Reference Designed for Guitarists Without Borders

Within the Duesenberg range, the Starplayer TV stands out as a versatile model with an immediately recognizable character: a modern semi-hollow construction, masterful luthiery, and electronics designed to cover a wide musical spectrum. Its concept is not to "do just one thing," but to offer an inspiring and reliable foundation to build your sound, both on stage and in the studio.

For Whom, and For Which Styles?

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive instrument, comfortable in pop, rock, indie, blues, alternative, and even modern jazz. The neck with a Medium D profile and 22 Jumbo frets promote smooth playing, while the semi-hollow body adds depth to chords and a beautiful presence to melodic lines.

The Sound

The semi-hollow construction with a sustain block provides air and dimension, while maintaining exemplary stability at high volumes. The laminated spruce top contributes to precise attack and balanced projection, complemented by the laminated flamed maple back and sides for defined highs and firm low-mids. The Domino P90 neck pickup delivers an open tone rich in harmonics, perfect for singing cleans and nuanced crunches. The GrandVintage Humbucker bridge pickup adds body, sustain, and denser saturation, with excellent control via 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-position selector switch. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length enhances the clarity of the lows and the sense of precision, especially in chords and arpeggios.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel, favor 10-50 gauge strings (010-013-017-028-042-050). The strap buttons are announced as compatible with "straplock" systems, so adding Strap Locks (compatible set) is relevant to secure the instrument on stage.
