Starplayer TV: The Duesenberg DNA in a Modern Semi-Hollow

The Starplayer TV fits within the tradition of versatile semi-hollow guitars, featuring a true aesthetic and sonic signature. This Tobacco Burst version highlights a striking "burst" look top, while the series offers a wide range of finishes, from classic to more stage-oriented. Within the Duesenberg lineup, it is a flagship model: a premium guitar designed to inspire daily, as enjoyable to play as to admire.

A Premium Guitar for Demanding Guitarists (Stage, Studio, Home Studio)

This Duesenberg is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking an expressive, reliable guitar capable of switching between styles without losing its identity. Its semi-hollow format and electronics make it very comfortable in rock, blues, jazz, pop, indie, and americana, with a dynamic response that highlights touch and playing nuances.

The Sound

The semi-hollow construction with sustain block offers a particularly effective balance: more air and resonance than a solid body, while maintaining precise attack and excellent stability when increasing gain. The laminated spruce top promotes a clear and articulate response, while the laminated flamed maple back and sides provide definition, controlled brightness, and projection. The f-hole enhances the organic character of clean tones without excessive feedback thanks to the central block.

Regarding pickups, the Domino P90 in the neck delivers a rich, full, and expressive tone, ideal for round chords, jazz lines, and punchy crunches. At the bridge, the GrandVintage Humbucker adds density, punch, and great clarity for riffs and solos. The combination in the middle position benefits from a specific wiring that opens the spectrum and refines the low end of the humbucker, producing a snappier sound very usable for rhythm playing. With 1 volume, 1 tone, and a 3-position selector switch, you can quickly switch between tones without detours.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To maintain the original feel, favor a string set with gauges 010-050 (equivalent to 0.010" to 0.050" / 0.25 mm to 1.27 mm). The strap buttons are Straplock compatible, so standard format strap locks can secure the instrument on stage. For maintenance, a microfiber cloth and a stable guitar stand are perfectly suited for daily use.
