Duesenberg 49er

Guitar designed in Germany, assembled in Japan, with machined parts in the U.S. and Germany, finishing in Germany ... the fruits of three continents are all a more than satisfactory result.

The bridge is a dual action the strings pass through the body of the guitar.
The handle is made of ebony, D-shape, 22 jumbo Frêtes
Micro level there is also spoiled, vintage domino p90 in Duesenberg, a delight for the ears and a great vintage Duesenberg humbucker for the bridge.
A 3-position selector, volume tone, very accurate.

And voila

I regret that the humbucker is not splitable sniff ......

UTILIZATION

It feels like a LP, matter of taste better .... you tell me. For my part long ago that I do not judge a guitar based on what written on the handle. This Duesenberg is really a serious rival to the Gibson LP.
Question ergonomics, still inaccessible in acute-ah-LP otherwise handle request to leave notes to your inspiration, it is pure pleasure. Sustain well to it. Nothing without amp you feel full potential.

SOUNDS

The only area where this guitar shines is not in the funk, but by sticking her ass a good compressor you come out something. It is undoubtedly rock oriented blues, but does wonders still in many genres.
The pickups are relatively strong and careful, the pickup and more powerful than the p90 handle hair, which may confuse some at first. Playing knobs volume / tone we get a really interesting sound palette, and versatile.
I play on a Black Star HT5, Fender Junior, the sound is just great, a vintage TS9 82, it hurts .... and PT999 phaser ibanez / maxon 70 ', then a simple compressor Sonic Retro . Ah yes, a Fuzz a shop. with all that there is plenty to do .... I am very happy with my guitar with this config.

OVERALL OPINION

I gained there 6 months time if I can say it has remained locked in her box by the previous owner since 2005, a collector. Not a scratch.

Pros: finish, manufacturing quality FLAWLESS-ahhh rigor Germany-action game really low, constant urge to play with, and finally, this honey juice you finish is beautiful.

Least - I'll really liked humbucker splitables to open more sound palette, and shame for what it really is in. funk sound field ... beautiful chrome around but beware of rust for those who tend to sweat. Microwave power can sometimes be annoying, in moderation ^ ^


The value for money is just a joke, in view of the quality of workmanship, materials and finish, you have a guitar in hands worth 3 times the price in the most famous brands. See for yourself ......

I remake this choice with his eyes closed, but it is not expected that I separated, it is one of the first outputs

The 49ers are not that basketball players in California, it is those who in 1849 crossed America to rush to the gold of the West.

Manufacturing rigorous, it smells strong. Unnecessary rules, out of the box is given to the hair and ready to play. Nothing frieze is stable.

Appearance and concept LP, but this is not the "Canada Dry".
Mahogany, Maple, Rosewood, just as it should.
22 frets, P90 to the handle, the double bridge. Cordier crossing.
Two selectors use nice and progressive.
In short, manufacturing Teutons. Now we know why we were stuck in a frigged 40 ...

UTILIZATION

Handle flat and well rounded, with a nice polish to the touch, not sticky like some early LP.
Nice weight, but it is rock, right?
Access to high-pitched way. We just quickly banging the heel of the neck when trying the 22nd fret.

The sound is consistent with what we should expect from a "LesPauloïde". P90 The handle is superb! The double bridge sends to the wood.
Above all, its clear notes are very distinct, as if there was a micro per cord. Amazing.
Escalation pots provides access to more varied sounds.

SOUNDS

The sounds suit me perfectly. It's hot, it's fat. The P90 is stunning!
One can take pleasure in her clear, but its registry of course elsewhere.
I play either on an AC30 and it's hard or on a Mesa Express 5-50. No bad taste (well, in my opinion)

OVERALL OPINION

3 months that all day.
I prefer now to my LP standard, which is beginning to dust. More versatile in styles, more stable and sturdy in manufacturing.
Value for money: Forget the Gibson unless you think their logo is enough to make you a man.
Triple A well deserved.
Good choice.
It's good as gold, you have to rush it, as its name indicates

Easy guitar playing and just rev. Comfortable handle.

The configuration of the microphones and the design of the guitar (body and mahogany table, stocky, round al directs it towards the rock, HR, blues but can also type P90 on the microphone to sounds very s jazz.

Perfect finish.

UTILIZATION

Just plug it to understand that a jewel case!

SOUNDS

See above.

Branch live in an amp with a tube screamer as needed and the mass is said.

OVERALL OPINION

Best quality prices for this type of scratching. J'au had a LP Custom, and I do not miss ...
