Duesenberg Starplayer TV Phonic Black

A Starplayer Designed to Stand Out in the Duesenberg Range

The Starplayer TV Phonic embodies the Duesenberg spirit: a strong aesthetic, demanding finish quality, and a very "musician-focused" feel. With its semi-hollow construction (arched top, flat back, one f-hole) and gold hardware, it targets guitarists who want an immediately recognizable sonic personality without sacrificing the versatility of a stage guitar.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Thanks to its refined playability and creative electronics, this guitar is aimed at both intermediate and advanced players seeking an inspiring instrument for daily use and concerts. Its natural playground covers rock, blues, indie, pop, and any genre where you want to switch from a thick tone to a more biting attack, with very expressive pick dynamics.

The Sound

The semi-hollow construction provides a more "airy" attack and a sense of acoustic resonance, while the sustain block recenters the low end and limits feedback excess, useful for amplified playing. The pickup duo is particularly musical: the GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge delivers a dense, rich, and powerful range for riffs and leads, while the P90 Domino at the neck offers a more open tone, with character and great definition. The 4-way rotary switch expands the palette by combining pickups in "full" mode or through frequency filtering, ideal for bringing out a sharper and more articulated sound in a mix.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes with a Duesenberg Custom Line case and the necessary allen keys. The strap buttons are indicated as Straplock compatible, so you can consider adding a suitable strap lock system to secure the instrument on stage.
