Duesenberg Fantom S Electric Guitar - Light Antique Burst | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Duesenberg Fantom S electric guitar combines vintage-inspired tone with exceptional playability in a beautifully crafted solidbody design. This striking instrument features hand-selected AAA flamed maple over solid mahogany construction, delivering warm, rich tones perfect for players who demand both visual appeal and professional-grade performance. Ideal for intermediate to professional guitarists, the Fantom S offers short-scale comfort without compromising sonic depth.
Product Overview
The Fantom S's body showcases premium craftsmanship with solid mahogany construction topped by carved AAA flamed maple, finished in an elegant Light Antique Burst with durable PUR lacquer. The single-cutaway body features deluxe 5-ply binding and sophisticated inlays that complement the instrument's striking angles and curves. This thoughtful construction delivers excellent resonance and sustain while maintaining comfortable playing weight at just 9.63 lbs.
The set-neck maple construction features a classic D profile that feels familiar and comfortable in the hand. The 12" radius Indian rosewood fingerboard hosts 22 jumbo frets across a 24.6" scale length, providing smooth playability from the first fret to the last. The shorter scale length reduces string tension for effortless bending and rapid-fire runs, making this guitar particularly responsive for players transitioning from standard-scale instruments.
Duesenberg's Grand Vintage humbucker pickups deliver authentic 1960s-era tones with carefully selected Alnico II magnets. The innovative control layout includes master volume, dedicated neck volume, and tone controls, plus a unique preset volume knob positioned on the cutaway horn for instant tonal changes. Duesenberg's proprietary Steel Saddle Bridge and Wrapper Tailpiece, combined with precision Z-Tuners, ensure rock-solid tuning stability and optimal string energy transfer.
Ideal For
- Blues and rock players seeking warm vintage humbucker tones with modern playability
- Studio musicians requiring versatile tonal options and quick volume adjustments during recording sessions
- Guitarists with smaller hands who prefer short-scale comfort without sacrificing professional tone quality
- Performing artists who value distinctive aesthetics paired with reliable, road-worthy construction
- Players upgrading to premium European craftsmanship and boutique-level specifications
Key Features
Hand-Selected Flame Maple Top
The carved AAA flamed maple top over solid mahogany body creates stunning visual appeal while contributing to the guitar's tonal complexity. The flame maple adds brightness and articulation to complement the mahogany's natural warmth, resulting in balanced frequency response across all playing styles.
Grand Vintage Humbucker Pickups
Duesenberg's proprietary Grand Vintage humbuckers feature Alnico II magnets wound to recreate classic 1960s PAF-style tones. These pickups deliver smooth, warm output with excellent clarity and touch sensitivity, responding beautifully to both clean and overdriven amplifier settings.
Innovative Control System
Beyond standard master volume and tone controls, the Fantom S includes a dedicated neck pickup volume and a unique preset volume knob on the cutaway horn. This configuration allows instant switching between rhythm and lead volumes without touching your guitar controls, perfect for dynamic live performances.
Short-Scale Playability
The 24.6" scale length reduces string tension for easier bending and fretting while maintaining full, rich tone. Combined with the comfortable classic D neck profile and 12" radius fingerboard, this guitar feels incredibly fast and responsive under the fingers.
Premium Hardware Appointments
Duesenberg's Steel Saddle Bridge and Wrapper Tailpiece system provides excellent sustain and intonation stability. The proprietary Z-Tuners offer smooth, precise tuning with vintage aesthetics, while the set-neck construction ensures optimal resonance transfer from strings to body.
