Starplayer TV: Duesenberg's Vision of the Modern Classic

The Starplayer TV fits within the tradition of versatile semi-hollow electric guitars, designed to cover a wide sonic spectrum while maintaining a true personality. Within the range, it stands out due to its refined craftsmanship, high-end finish level, and instantly recognizable aesthetics. This "Gold Burst" version particularly highlights the premium look of the series, designed to shine both in the studio and on stage.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

The Duesenberg Starplayer TV is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive, reliable guitar that is quick to set up in a band context. Its balance of clarity, dynamics, and warmth suits rock, blues, pop, indie, americana, and jazz genres very well, with real authority in crunch sounds and excellent articulation in clean tones.

The Sound

The semi-hollow body with sustain block provides a "lively" and airy feel while maintaining control when increasing gain: chords remain clear, attacks are sharp, and sustain stays generous. The laminated spruce top and laminated flamed maple back/sides promote precise response, a well-defined high end, and balanced projection, while the f-hole enhances the organic dimension of the playing.

Regarding pickups, the Domino P90 in the neck delivers warmth, grain, and roundness, perfect for expressive phrasing and rich clean sounds. The GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge adds density and impact, ideal for riffs, leads, and punchy rhythms. The 1 volume, 1 tone wiring and 3-position selector switch allow quick changes, with a middle position designed to retain an open and extremely usable sound in pop/rock contexts.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To get the most out of it, plan for a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable, a tuner (pedal or clip-on), and some plectrums suited to your picking style. The guitar is strung with 010-050 gauge strings: if you want to keep the same feel, an electric string set with the same gauge will be the most natural choice.
