Duesenberg Starplayer TV Everest White + case

Starplayer TV: Duesenberg's signature semi-hollow, in Everest White version

Within the Duesenberg range, the Starplayer TV stands out as a modern classic: a semi-hollow electric guitar capable of shifting from a mellow sound to a sharp attack, while maintaining a very distinctive identity. The Everest White finish is particularly notable for a rare detail: the first black binding offered on a Duesenberg, with a high-end aesthetic enhanced by nickel-plated hardware, a black headstock, and the metallic "D" logo.

For which guitarists and styles?

This Starplayer TV clearly targets intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an inspiring, expressive guitar that is immediately effective both in band settings and studio work. Its balance between definition, dynamics, and character makes it very comfortable in rock, blues, pop, indie, americana, and modern jazz, especially when a clear articulation in clean tones and excellent right-hand response are expected.

The sound

The semi-hollow body with sustain block is the core of the concept: the body adds air, a "lively" feel, and a nice width in clean tones, while the central block maintains precision, limits feedback, and improves sustain when gain is increased. The combination of laminated spruce (top) and laminated flamed maple (back/sides) emphasizes clarity, attack, and controlled brightness, with very clear projection in the mix.

On the electronics side, the Domino P90 neck pickup favors grain, roundness, and dynamics, perfect for rich chords, jazzy lines, or expressive bluesy crunch. At the bridge, the GrandVintage Humbucker provides density, sustain, and definition for riffs and solos. The 3-position selector switch offers a real advantage: in the middle position, a specific wiring opens up the sound by lightening certain bass frequencies of the humbucker, delivering a clearer, snappier, and very versatile tone. The 1 volume, 1 tone setup adjusts quickly and straightforwardly, ideal for live performance.

Recommended compatible accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, favor a set of electric guitar strings in gauge 010-050. If you want to secure the instrument on stage, since the strap buttons are Straplock compatible, a standard format strap lock system is a relevant option.
