Duesenberg Starplayer Special

Duesenberg Starplayer Special in Catalina Green
This lovely guitar is brand new with a Duesenberg hardcase and comes in a stunning Catalina Green finish. This model is not currently being manufactuered by Duesenberg, so you'll be hard pushed to find one anywhere else!

The Starplayer Special is a solidbody, dual pickup, 22 fret electric guitar, featuring a contoured alder body, bolt-on neck and a 647mm scale length.

Alder Body

The Starplayer Special combines a variety of different approaches to form an instrument which is incredibly high quality. Its Alder body is contoured for premium looks and playability and then fitted with a bolt-on maple neck. This combination presents exceptional sound and clarity which brings sweet thick tones and long sustain. A bolt on maple neck and rosewood fingerboard deliver a distinctive attack and clarity not usually associated with this body type.

Custom Pickups

The mounted GrandVintage pickup - in combination with the slightly higher output CrunchBucker - delivers a penetrating and powerful rock sound. The Multi-Tone control extends the possibilities beyond that with several additional singlecoil-like sound options.

Duesenberg Hardware

All Duesenberg instruments are fitted with Duesenberg's own hardware, which you will only find on a Duesenberg. They design it with attention to even the smallest details to create truly unique instruments from tuner buttons to jack plates. And with the Starplayer Special, you get the same high quality hardware as on all other Duesenberg instruments.

Fretboard

All Duesenberg fretboards are carefully pleked and finished by hand for optimum playability and the smooth feel they are famous for.

The Starplayer Special was first prototyped in 1992 and voted “Guitar of the Year” in UK in 2003. It is a long term classic in the Duesenberg lineup and has been the entry into the Duesenberg world for many users around the world.
