At the Heart of the Duesenberg Range
An iconic model at Duesenberg, the Starplayer TV has established itself as a stage and studio reference. Its semi-hollow format, refined hardware, and in-house electronics make it a reliable choice for guitarists seeking a distinctive identity without sacrificing versatility.
For Which Musician and Styles?
Designed for intermediate to expert musicians, it excels in rock, pop, blues, indie and fits effortlessly into jazz, soul, or country. The dynamic response of the 25.5" scale length appeals to rhythm players and soloists alike, seeking clarity and projection.
The Sound
The laminated spruce top and laminated flamed maple back and sides, combined with the center block, deliver tight lows, present mids, and sculpted highs, with generous sustain and controlled feedback. The Domino P90 at the neck offers a broad, articulate, and creamy tone, ideal for expressive cleans and smooth overdrives. The GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge provides attack, punch, and definition for riffs and leads. The 3-position selector, volume, and tone controls allow quick tonal shaping. The Diamond Deluxe Tremola ensures precise modulation without destabilizing tuning, supported by Z-Tuners tuning machines.
