Duesenberg (http://www.duesenberg.de) ... if you have the disease of the guitar and you spend time rummaging in shops or on the forums, you've heard somewhere forcment dj the name of the German brand fairly recent (1992).
Here are the Starplayer special CHARACTERISTICS:

- Guitar German irrprochable finish quality (you can just miss the assembly of the handle a bit unusual, but frankly, a gene does not play, it's really got a question)
- Handle al / viss (recessed in the body and held by two large screws to gain tudies sustain and maintain a good offense) Alder (prciser, I'm not sure, but it looks like), rosewood fingerboard 22 frets, U type profile near the fender from home, but finer pitch 24''(like Les Paul)
- Alder body with table bomb Rabl. It's a pretty heavy guitar, but when it breaks even less than shoulders LP!
- Neck pickup: Grand Vintage 59 'HB (type 495T Gibson / Seymour Duncan SH-4) rich in harmonic prcis and sustain a decent gibson pickups. frankly, I t bluff!
- Bridge pickup: CrunchBucker Version of Duesenberg Burstbucker gibson. Microphones of good quality and full of characters.
- 3 position selector, one volume a tonality that doubles as a push - pull splitter to the microphones. It has six positions that offer a range of sounds typical ranges of quality and really thunder. The sound is fairly round, even split, the microphones will not be slamming a fender.
- Bridge type tune-O-Matic

UTILIZATION

Very comfortable handle. The grip is excellent, and that the attachment of manchepeut perplexing at first, the treble are easily accessible. s still a great job.
The guitar is a bit heavy, but it does not fall into the excs the Les Paul.

When the quality of sound ... if you spend time tampering with the selector and the knobs, it is because we happen to know what position is the best! Duesenberg is truly plug 'n' play! We are immediately have an excellent sound. and for anyone who ventures into the rglages, surprise, what a wonder!

I put this section 8 for access to the treble that will never be as good as a SG or a guitar shredder. If you are not of those who play the second 47 ratings sweepent and constantly, the comfort will be perfect. I recall also that access to an acute LP is far from ais ...

SOUNDS

I have a Start that I use for clean sounds or sounds to work. I was looking for a guitar for the big 70's the type of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. I tried a Duesenberg for curiosities, and I found exactly what I was looking for! LP-type guitar but retains its character. A lot of sustain and harmonics, a beautiful grain ... I fell in love and I bought it right away.

I play on a classic 30 and nothing but the overdrive of the amp is amazing. It very well Ragit a 9 or a TS Guv'nor. Not tested with a DS-1, but it must be pretty interesting ...

I really like the microphone is very serious and deep, very round. positions in intermdiaires splitter or not are also very good. Position that satisfies the least, that bridge pickup Splitt but it took me months before apprcier bridge pickup of my Start, so I might find my account later.

The sound was really bluff ... I even contemplated stealing over the lespaul My Best Friend:-p

OVERALL OPINION

I bought it last Thursday, and it is extraordinary. is the ultimate weapon. Sound, design, playability, solid reliability and so the ... all for 650 used! At this price the do not really hsiter!

What I like most is that this guitar is a type lp happens keep his own characters, and playing in the courtyard of the largest for a price much lower. I test normment guitar before finding my strat complment IDAL. I no longer!

As for the quality price ratio, it is frankly unbeatable.

I probably referrer that choice since I have not test the other models Duesenberg (V-cast with three microphones and a simple vibrato and Starplayer TV, hollow body with Bigsby and P 94 in sleeve)

To all those considering buying a Les Paul, a PRS, etc ... Try one before you DCID Duesenberg ... it could be seen as a big economy to do (enjoy the diffrence to buy a classic 30 ;-))

For those seeking a mid-range guitar style piphone lp standard, forget it and look instead of Duesenberg opportunities. ca is about 650 for a model in good condition. And hurry up because the price of the occasion will surely skyrocket. Without prciser that many of those who bought the guitar do not think the sell ... Then you throw it!
