All user reviews for the 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 ...

Made in Germany
Micros Duesenberg Domino P-90 and Duesenberg Grand Vintage Humbucker with slecteur 3 positions. 1 tone and 1 volume. Well the LP sleeve. Trs heavy! arf my back ...
Through-string.

UTILIZATION

I find it enjoyable to play trs. Balance and happily saw his weight. Do you get a good sound easy? Just plug ...

Small problem noted. I have some problem strings that border. It's not super serious but when I prcise same.

SOUNDS

I was often asked to compare my TV Starplayer this one ... Since they both have the same microphones. Here's what I saw. The 49er is sche prcise and more. I would say even a little "cold".

With this combination of pickups you can play with all the scratches. The humbucker is not a dj send EMG81 but pretty much everything as too aggressive and a little "vintage". I use RPET plutt live in because of his weight (again) and its hand diffrence with the TV. I prcise I'm good with heavy-metal rock. The P90 is really beautiful. I've never tried a real gibson P90 so I can not compare.
I play with orange amps and I could not find his dplaise me with this guitar.

small addition: the positions of the microphones is really intermdiaire INTERESTED trs. A good compromise that I use often trs.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had about 2 years now and this is one of Premire guitar that I do not resell. Trs versatile and beautiful (I limitezbre version). The finish is good trs. I had a lot of other guitars before gibson with LP. It is neither better nor worse but it has its own personal.

I find the report trs good quality price and yes I would do without this choice hsiter. The Duesenberg guitars are really great.

Just to add that I read somewhere that sagissait a guitar "of German design, with lments amricains and assembled in Japan."

In terms of finishes, there is not much blame (just a small testicle on the light wood edging on the head). I feel that the varnish is a bit fragile: there is a scratch that is made at the hook because of my belt, and that APRS hour. I was told that black finishes c'tait gnrale who streaked very easy.

I put 8 m'inquite as the paint a little.

UTILIZATION

APRS try to have a Gibson, I find the handle plutt enjoyable, with a super flat radius (12 ", a little flatter than a Gibson Les Paul). But it's more a matter of taste I think.

Otherwise, it's a bit like a Gibson is heavy in the CSBA acute plutt is good (in my cot and strat big "capacity" to fix the handle). The guitar is equilibrated.

I put a 9 because it is almost without fail for this type of guitar.

SOUNDS

So it's the flawless for me. Look at the other opinion, j'crirais the same thing as them. I prfr to Gibson that I tried (but it's still the matter of taste).

OVERALL OPINION

I just bring it back home. His was one week that I had noticed (there's no need to try for months to give an opinion on a skyscraper in my opinion).

I go around all the stores in my town (Caen) before buying it, and I try many before Gibson.

What I love: the sound, the quality-price ratio that I think is good trs. And changes from Gibson.

What I dislike: Not much (I'm falling in love I think). I mfierai varnish (but it may be not justified ...).

I therefore put a 9.

Made in Germany.
Channel and mahogany body. Body table with carved saddle and rosewood fingerboard.
Through-string.
Neck pickup type Duesenberg P90 + ct Vintage bridge humbucker great.
1 volume + 1 + slecteur tona.
22 frets.
Mine is black. she is beautiful.

UTILIZATION

Channel near Les paul.
Access in acute is a bit easier than on a Les Paul and is also heavy, fragile back refrain.
Sound: a nice clear sound gently, turn the knob or direct crunch.

SOUNDS

I play rock type Deep Purple, Bon Jovi with orange head and cabinet and it's really a hell.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since the end of September 2011 (May 2011 order, we must be patient they are made to the account drop) and I do not regret having waited. The guitar has a beautiful violin, finishes are superb. You receive it you need not play rglage. I had a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe and ben at the finish and I assure you report qualitprix Do not hesitate. This is a guitar and a brand that goes up, take the opportunity to buy one now.
It's only 1 sr is legendary Les Paul, but by opening the bote of the guitar I prfr the Ralite especially the myth that unless you buy a Old Gibson's quality is much less in the appointment Gibson for prices relatively levs.

One word: go for it!

It is a German guitar, say Fortyniner, a guitar designed according to the quality standards Duesenberg with a body and a mahogany neck cords through-height adjustable sustain is remarkable

The pickups, Custom Duesenberg - DP90 and Grand Vintage Humbucker. It's really the foot. A mixture of Gibson and Gretch. Hell with the Great Vintage Blues and can be expressive with the DP90.

Controls. Master volume, one tone and one 3-position selector. Very effective, very efficient sound different tones throughout the run of knobs.

A perfect body. Archtop maple 20mm on a mahogany body 58 mm. Through-string. 44 x 32.5 x 5.8

We find the weight of the Les Paul

UTILIZATION

Gibson handle very well rounded, a little time to s'abituer. (This is the reason for my 8 and not 10, but be careful it's top). Mahogany with rosewood fingerboard, jumbo frets and tuning 64.7 cm / 25 "5

SOUNDS

For Blues and Rock punchy well, no worries it will work. And then a little tweaking the tone you venture into the Jazz and Fusion.

OVERALL OPINION

For a week I would have asked my wife a Threesome ... but there is a guitar risuqe it passes through the window. It's not fair she could not defend themselves.

Value, to be better. I hesitated between a Gretch Black Piguin and a Les Paul and many veiled third of the price and I have a guitar equivalent.

UTILIZATION

The handle is highly enjoyable!
Profile type gibson but the quality of wood varnishes being exceptional, it seems to play a guitar by four times the price (I lol at anyone ...)

To Access in acute ... ben seen form the paul is correct.

To get a bad sound with this guitar I only see two solutions: use an amp or deffectueux not be a bat.

The choice of DP 90 neck pickup in this guitar go trs interresting in clean ... Personally at the design I saw a double plutt splitable ... but hey it's personal.

The bridge pickup is exceptional ... In the saturated felt good the big rock pchu much more precision and the microphone is enjoyable!

SOUNDS

It should easily many style of music ... For funk, well it will limit over a fender but I think that asking a luthier to install a split on the bridge pickup this guitar has what suprendre!

I test on a head lamp Marchall (dsl 100 not crash if I sounded a hell ...), ... I imagine that if I t would have had the opportunity to test it on a head srieuse more ...

OVERALL OPINION

The only comment on this point: Report qalit price!! A guitar of this quality minimum cost three times as much in gibson and prs. So take your pick ...

License Duesenberg, made in Germany
Channel type Lespaul.Touche Rosewood
Type a neck pickup Duesenberg P90
A Duesenberg Humbucker bridge pickup
A three-position selector
Setting volume
Tone setting.
Mahogany body, carved maple table
Through-string for more sustain.

A flawless finish.

UTILIZATION

Handle very nice jumbo frets. A while to adapt if you have just one oar Start example. Then it runs itself.
A flat for access to the latest on such freight as solidbody guitar Singlecut.
The guitar is heavy (it's good for sustain), but without excess. Good balance in hand.
Ergonomics simple but at the same time a lot of versatility with very sensitive knobs.
As for sound, it's plug and play

SOUNDS

A beautiful guitar for Blues, Rock, Jazz and even with the micro manche.Un neck pickup very warm, blues, but clear, not runny, powerful
We can play anything really.
But what works best in my opinion, is the blues with the P90, with clear sound and light distortion.
With the bridge pickup only, or both, we go in or the crunch and distortion will make it a beast that roars.
With overdrive, boost or more, it gets downright hot.
If you want to play "Since I've Been Loving You" (intro) in middle position and easel, with overdrive and distortion of what is needed is already very well, and for the riff Jimmy Page, no problem either.
A pickup that "twangue" in clear, distortion in tears.
Very nice balance in rhythm on all config.
This on a tube amp (Peavey Delta Blues) or a transistor (DT30 Vox, with its beautiful simulation of Vox and Marshall)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it less than a year.
I was looking at starting a Lespaul, now that it's not easy, left-handed to boot. This leaves the U.S. if we want to try enough to find the right one. A 1500 Euros, it's a great alternative to a Lespaul unstoppable, even if you can not say it's a copy of either side making or his side.
I like the looks incredible versatility in terms of sound.
It is a fine addition to my Start and my body half.

For the characteristics of the guitar, see above.

UTILIZATION

The handle is very good but in my opinion, it lacks a little depth and roundness. The access to the acute is rather good for a les paul shape. C a guitar that impresses by its weight and balance very good, it is heavy but it is very well remember when you play standing up. I took it in translucent orange, it is beautiful!

SOUNDS

For sound ...... it rocks. I would say that for the funk c not really ideal but then the guitar for the rest, it is truly amazing. Sounds clear its HOT! And very précis.On has to do here its a real pro. The sound palette is bluffing eg bridge pickup, volume for moitiée, the moitiée tone, crunch amp is you have a smooth, warm sound ideal for the ledzepplin,, volume and tone three-quarter way into the serious and you have the money for nothing,, volume and tone thoroughly acute in the solo and attention! and all without touching the amp. The three positions of the micro really discover, a tip: try this guitar a vox pathfinder 15! C incredible .... a guitar with which to not necessarily need an armada of pedal to exist, its nationals and to the character very well compared to other instrumentals.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months and frankly I always find. This guitar delivers pure vintage sound while also allowing an attack on distos importantes.De addition, it makes very good modulation of jeu.Le stick makes you want to express themselves and it does not cost really is not whether Cher. She held the years .. g otherwise long hesitated with a telecaster but now I do it again the same choice again!
