Velvet Series: a modern interpretation of the Starplayer DNA
The Starplayer TV is an iconic model at Duesenberg, appreciated for its balance between "vintage" character and modern manufacturing precision. In this Velvet Series edition, the custom matte finishes enhance the instrument's personality, while the gold hardware adds a premium touch. The whole retains what makes the Starplayer concept strong: a responsive, comfortable semi-hollow, ready to cover many musical ranges.
For which guitarists and styles?
This Duesenberg is primarily aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive and versatile electric guitar, without compromise on playability. Its semi-hollow construction and proprietary vibrato make it particularly inspiring for rock, blues, pop, indie, country, and rhythm'n'blues. It is also very suitable for stage and studio musicians looking for an instrument capable of switching between textures, from crisp clean tones to thicker saturations.
Sound
The semi-hollow body with sustain block offers an excellent compromise: more resonance and depth than a solid body, while maintaining stability when pushing the amp. The laminated spruce top provides precise attack and beautiful definition, while the laminated flamed maple back and sides add brightness and projection. The SplitKing pickups greatly expand the palette: in "humbucker" mode, you get a dense and powerful foundation, ideal for chunky riffs and leads; in "single coil" mode, you find more clarity, twang, and dynamics for arpeggios, rhythms, and airier sounds. The simple wiring (volume, tone, 3-position selector) remains intuitive, and the two mode switches encourage instant character changes.
