Watch
Why it matters
The Starplayer TV is the model the Duesenberg range is built around, and the shape most players picture when the name comes up. A laminated arched top and back keep the body light and controlled, while the D-Tron pickups sit between a filtertron and a humbucker in character. It has stayed in production for a long time, which says something about how many players find it useful across styles.
Note
The flagship semi-hollow with laminated spruce top and D-Tron pickups.
