Arguably Duesenberg's most iconic model, the Starplayer TV is the embodiment of everything that sets the company apart from the pack. From its slim arched spruce-topped maple semi-hollowbody construction to the proprietary Diamond Deluxe tremolo and Z-Tuners, the Starplayer TV reimagines the golden age of electric guitar building through the lens of the modern performing musician. This particular example, finished in a stunning Galaxy Purple Burst, is serial number 251851, Plek number DUW01601, built in 2025. Plug into the Domino P-90 neck pickup and bridge-position Grand Vintage humbucker to traverse the entire tonal spectrum of semi-hollowbody tones, from creamy single-coil cleans to biting overdrive bark.
Product Overview
The Starplayer TV's body construction combines an arched spruce top with a maple back, bent sides, and a sustain center block — a semi-hollowbody architecture that delivers genuine acoustic resonance and chambered tonal warmth while the center block maintains the sustain, feedback resistance, and structural stability that solid-body players expect. This is the construction approach that gives semi-hollow guitars their distinctive character: more air and openness in the tone than a solid body, more control and sustain than a fully hollow archtop.
The American hardrock maple neck with a 25.5" scale length and 12" fingerboard radius Indian rosewood fingerboard is built for genuine playing comfort and speed, with 22 jumbo frets (2.8mm × 1mm) and a dual-action truss rod for reliable long-term adjustability. The 42mm (1.654") nut width provides comfortable string spacing for a wide range of playing styles, from chord-heavy rhythm work to fast single-note lead lines.
The pickup pairing is where the Starplayer TV's tonal versatility truly shines. The Duesenberg Domino single-coil pickup at the neck position delivers a supremely clear, warm, and creamy tonality that handles everything from raspy blues to ultra-clean jazz without breaking a sweat — a modern take on a classic single-coil voice. The bridge-position Duesenberg Grand Vintage humbucker is voiced to capture the dynamic, responsive character of an old-school humbucker, oscillating between aggressive humbucking fury and smooth, clear, snappy clean tones depending on playing dynamics. German silver open pickup covers complete the vintage-correct aesthetic. A particularly distinctive touch is the special wiring in the middle pickup position — rather than a standard parallel blend, the middle position filters out lower frequencies for a brighter, funkier, more articulate tone with extra "twang," a wiring approach that gives the 3-way switch genuinely three distinct tonal characters rather than the more predictable neck/both/bridge progression found on most guitars.
Duesenberg's proprietary hardware throughout reflects the company's commitment to building every component in-house rather than relying on third-party parts. The Duesenberg bridge with steel saddles pairs with the Diamond Deluxe tremolo for expressive pitch modulation with reliable tuning return, and Duesenberg Deluxe tuning machines provide smooth, dependable tuning stability. Heavy-duty pots made in Japan, a heavy-duty 3-way switch made in USA, and heavy-duty platinum output jacks made in Italy reflect a level of component sourcing attention rarely seen even among premium guitar manufacturers — each critical electronic component sourced from the region best known for producing it. Nickel-plated hardware throughout ties the whole package together with a cohesive, vintage-correct finish.
