Sound Pure's Take
Weight: 7.85 lbs.
Here's a guitar that looks clean and elegant, it's black finish and stylish appointments bringing to mind a tuxedo-clad James Bond crashing the evil villains dinner party. And that's also part of its appeal, this baby looks like a million bucks, but it is certainly not afraid to get its hands dirty. I loved playing big, ringing arpeggios and clean, jangly chords, then cranking it up and chunking out dirty licks and searing leads, the Starplayer can handle them all without breaking a sweat. The Deluxe Tremola responds perfectly to the amount of pressure you apply, providing a remarkable amount of sensitivity without needing to be handled gingerly. It's no secret that Duesenberg makes some mighty fine guitars and the Starplayer TV is no exception!
From Duesenberg Guitars
Our semi-hollow deluxe guitar is played by many of the top players in the world. The Starplayer-TV features a greatly improved 60s style tremolo and a floating bridge with steel saddles.
Our custom-wound DP90 in the neck position gives an authentic blues tone making a versatile combination with the vintage Humbucker in the bridge position.
