Duesenberg Starplayer TV Custom Black

The Essentials to Know About the Duesenberg Starplayer TV Custom Guitar

• Semi-hollow construction with sustain block: the grain and openness of a semi-hollow body, with excellent feedback resistance.


• Three Duesenberg D-Tron humbuckers: unusual clarity and brightness for humbuckers, from sparkling cleans to defined saturations.


• Ingenious Multi-Tone control: classic tone on one side, and blend of the middle pickup in any position on the other.


• Black finish enhanced with gold hardware, featuring a Diamond Deluxe Tremola vibrato for expressive nuances.

A Unique Starplayer in the Range: The Custom Spirit, Without Compromise

With its black body, gold hardware, and 3-pickup configuration, the Starplayer TV Custom stands out as one of the most distinctive and versatile variants in the Starplayer family. It retains the Duesenberg DNA (attention to detail, meticulous finishes, precise playability) while pushing further the sonic combination possibilities thanks to the middle pickup and the Multi-Tone circuit.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

This guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want a semi-hollow capable of covering multiple styles without changing instruments. It excels in rock, blues, indie, pop, and anything requiring rich cleans, articulate crunches, and singing leads. The long 25.5" / 648 mm scale length adds tension and precision, ideal for clear chords and tight rhythms.

The Sound

The semi-hollow construction with sustain block offers a very musical balance: more air and depth than a solid-body, while maintaining a stable attack and good feedback resistance on stage. The laminated spruce top promotes a lively response and precise projection, while the laminated maple back and sides add definition and brightness, with firm lows.

On the electronics side, the 3 D-Tron humbuckers are set to remain open and transparent, with clear and present highs. The 3-way selector covers the basics (neck, blend, bridge), and the Multi-Tone control opens a unique field: in addition to tone, it allows adding the middle pickup in any amount to thicken a lead, scoop a clean, or densify a crunch without losing spectral balance.
