With its fantastic art-deco looks, state-of-the-art design and specifications, it is the Starplayer TV that is the unmistakable centre-piece of the entire Duesenberg collection. Most of the other models seem to be derivatives of the Starplayer TV, but perhaps none of them are as versatile and typical for the German guitar company. In fact, the Starplayer TV covers much of the iconic sounds of an LP, Tele and Strat awfully well. With the distinctive recipe of a center-block flame maple hollowbody with arched spruce top, 1-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, 25.5" scale and 12" radius and the Duesenberg designed Grand Vintage humbucker / P90 Domino combination, Duesenberg seems to have found a brilliant mix where versatility doesn't result in something "safe". The Starplayer TV is in no means boring or in lack of character. On the contrary; these Duesenbergs are always rich in sound and tone.
In addition, the Starplayer TV -Tremolo Version- features Duesenberg's Deluxe Tremola; looks like a Bigsby, but actually offers more comfort, stability, adjustment capabilities and ease of use. The Starplayer TV family knows many variations which are often subtle on paper, yet each Starplayer has its own character and purpose.
The Phonic is perhaps the unwritten tribute to Gretsch's iconic Falcon models although there are few sound similarities. But as with the Falcon's, Duesenberg did go all-out with the gorgeous, glamorous look.
Sound and feature-wise, the Phonic differs from the regular Starplayer TV with its Phonico pickups. These actually are the regular Grandvintage Humbucker and P90 Domino pickups with different pickup caps but the Starplayer Phonic features a different wiring (4-way instead of 3-way) where an additional combination of both pickups with a filtering is enabled. The sonic range of the Phonic is simply slightly larger.
The original hardcase is included.
