• Matte PUR lacquer finish and gold hardware: premium look, blending vintage elegance and modernity, with a strong visual identity.


• Custom Line Case included: protection and transport worthy of the instrument.

Velvet Series: a bold style edition in the spirit of the Starplayer TV

The Starplayer TV follows the tradition of versatile semi-hollow guitars, designed to cover a wide range of sounds while maintaining a true personality. This Velvet Series emphasizes aesthetics and feel, with custom matte finishes that modernize the look without betraying the classic DNA. Combining semi-hollow craftsmanship, meticulous details, and gold hardware, this edition clearly targets the top tier for those seeking an instrument as inspiring to play as it is to look at.

For which guitarists and styles?

This Duesenberg is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a premium, expressive guitar capable of quickly adapting to a set. Its semi-hollow format and versatile electronics suit rock, blues, pop, indie, and americana genres very well, as well as cleaner, more sculpted sounds where articulation and dynamics make the difference. The Duesenberg vibrato adds an extra touch of musicality for nuances, subtle vibratos, and vintage accents.

Sound

The semi-hollow body with sustain block balances resonance and control: you get openness and a certain "breathing" in clean tones, while maintaining a clear attack and good stability when pushing the gain. The laminated spruce top and laminated flamed maple back and sides promote clarity, definition, and a precise high-end, while the f-hole construction enhances the organic dimension of the sound.

Regarding pickups, the Duesenberg SplitKing are the heart of versatility: in humbucker mode, you get a denser output with present mids and an ideal foundation for riffs and solos. In single-coil mode, the sound becomes snappier and airier, perfect for chords that need to "cut through" the mix. The 1 volume, 1 tone wiring, 3-position selector switch, and 2 mode switches allow quick adjustment of the tonal color without losing focus on playing.
