A Starplayer TV at the Heart of Duesenberg's DNA
The Starplayer TV follows the tradition of versatile semi-hollow electric guitars, with a distinctive sound identity and stage-oriented craftsmanship: controlled resonance, playing comfort, and high-end finishes. This Deep Black edition highlights the brand's iconic aesthetic, combining sobriety, nickel-plated hardware, and distinctive details (metallic D logo, refined contours), for a guitar as inspiring to look at as it is to play.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
The Duesenberg Starplayer TV is especially suitable for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a premium, expressive guitar that is immediately effective in a band setting. Its semi-hollow format and pickup combination naturally cover blues, rock, pop, indie, americana, and modern jazz genres. The tremolo adds a true palette of nuances to enrich chords, round off note endings, and bring a vintage color without sacrificing tuning stability.
Sound Characteristics
Thanks to its semi-hollow body with sustain block, this Starplayer TV achieves a highly sought-after balance: air and depth in clean tones, but a tighter and more controlled response as gain increases. The laminated spruce top promotes projection and definition, while the laminated flamed maple back and sides provide brightness, precision, and clarity, particularly appreciated on rich chords and arpeggios.
On the electronics side, the Domino P90 in the neck position delivers dense warmth and lively attack, ideal for blues licks, pick-style jazz, and expressive cleans. The GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge adds body, a solid low-mid foundation, and strong definition for riffs and solos. The intermediate position on the 3-way selector incorporates wiring that reduces some of the humbucker's bass, producing a more open and snappy sound, very practical for rhythm playing, funk, and pop textures.
Recommended Compatible Accessories
To stay true to the original spirit, a set of electric guitar strings in gauge 010-050 is the most coherent choice (this is the factory-installed gauge). A strap with standard ends and a good quality 6.35 mm instrument jack cable will complete a reliable setup, whether for rehearsals, studio work, or stage performances.
