Since its beginnings in the mid 80s, Duesenberg has become a brand synonymous with quality. They build fabulous looking retro style guitars that you can actually play. And this one plays really well, with a comfortable neck and it feels strong & balanced. There’s tons of tone and the pickups are perfectly suited to the semi hollow body construction. And they are LOUD if you want them to be. But if you dial down a little all the sweet tone is retained with no tonal drop-ff. The proprietary Diamond Deluxe trem stays in tune, and offers other tonal options. There is some light scratching & minor player wear on the back that can only be seen in a certain angle of light. There are a couple of tiny marks on the lovely sunburst top. The metalwork is all clean and untarnished. This guitar has been well looked after and presents in excellent condition. And the lovely bright 3 colour sunburst finish present on this one was discontinued some time ago. Standard colour is now blue, and black for the 12 string. Unfortunately the tremolo arm is missing, but can be easily procurred. Weight is 7.8 lbs Comes in its Duesenberg hardshell case in good condition.
