Best value: Poor
See previous opinion in which everything has been said .... The table is curved (solid spruce) as the back of the body, which must clearly contribute to its sound identity distinct from other Starplayer (table and back plates), plus I love her look!
The knobs are effective and sensitive: it is not on modes "on / off" found too often on the current guitars ... They are progressive and allow settings to find the REAL sound we hope! Lutherie high bill.
The pickups are of such quality that it is not necessary to tap into effects pedals: a good amp, direct, and it is happiness guaranteed!
The Bigsby works great and does not tune the guitar. Mechanical quick release, perfect frets. Manufacturing US / Germany.

UTILIZATION

The neck is fantastic, the balance is perfect, excellent playability. Access to acute is better than the Gibson LP: besides, I was definitely convinced that it is time to stop fantasizing about the Gibson expensive ... With the "Dues" is a lot more to (slightly) cheaper (even when it starts to make a sum). The rosewood fingerboard is ebony, not as I have read elsewhere.

SOUNDS

While there is value for money: the P90 and humbucker are fabulous, independently or coupled. Anything goes and everything is possible except metal. I think any quality amp will do the job properly. Personally, I play a Fender Power Chorus transistor United States and a Fender Blues Junior, I really enjoy! Yet I am far from being a brilliant guitarist, but I finally found the guitar for me in terms of sound, comfort and aesthetics! I feel that everything is going with its own character anyway: every note is well defined even in overdrive or distortion.
In his clear, the palette will not force rockabilly sound through the right and go to warm blues rock sound more modern. The practice of jazz is perfectly possible so the P90 alone or coupled with the humbucker offers versatility.
When changing positions microphones there is no change in output level. it sounds hard!
Each position has its own recognizable.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had eight days and I do not poses more ... I first cracked on the aesthetics and features the beautiful violin: the finish is on top of what you can find on the market (it is no coincidence that more and more world-renowned guitarists offered a Duesenberg!). In addition it sounds serious!
I love everything about this guitar.
The value for money at the sight of the instrument is very very good (much higher than other brands so-called prestigious ...). The case Duesenberg (included on this model) is of excellent workmanship and well adjusted to the guitar.
I highly recommend this guitar or one of his cousins ​​for those who would not like the decoration style "Shelby" Campbell model. on the other hand, good luck to those who want because it is an almost impossible to find, especially since it is a limited edition with certificate of authenticity ...
