The Flagship Model of the Duesenberg Range
A true "semi-hollow" icon of the brand, the Starplayer TV combines meticulous craftsmanship (spruce top, flamed maple back and sides) with electronics designed for stage and studio use. Its elegant aesthetics (cream binding, Gold Custom pickguard, nickel hardware) and robust construction make it a reliable instrument for demanding musicians.For Whom and Which Styles?
Ideal for intermediate to professional levels, this guitar easily covers pop, rock, blues, soul, indie, and jazz. The neck P90 provides warmth and definition for smooth rhythms or expressive choruses, while the bridge humbucker delivers the bite and density needed for more powerful tones.The Sound
The semi-hollow body combined with the center block offers lively projection with airy mids while maintaining impeccable feedback control. The Domino P90 delivers a vintage, dynamic, and articulate tone, perfect for punchy cleans or crunchy sounds. The GrandVintage Humbucker is punchy and precise, ideal for singing leads and tight rhythms. The 3-position selector, volume, and tone controls allow quick tone shaping. The 25.5" / 648 mm scale length adds brightness and note sustain, while the Diamond Deluxe Tremola ensures smooth and stable pitch variations. The PLEK treatment guarantees flawless playability.Recommended Compatible Accessories
Delivered in a Custom Line case (included), the Starplayer TV accepts Strap Locks type strap buttons (compatible with its Duesenberg Standard pins). To preserve its response and tension balance, replace strings identically with Duesenberg Custom 10/50 strings (010-013-017-028-042-050).Technical specifications
