Duesenberg Starplayer Bass Deep Black
Product information "Duesenberg Starplayer Bass Deep Black"
Duesenberg guitars and basses are simply cool — the Starplayer Bass Deep Black combines cool vintage looks with clever specification. The semi-hollow body with sustain block is made from maple (back and sides) with a laminated spruce top. The easy-playing short-scale neck is made of maple with a rosewood fretboard. For a snarling vintage tone, a set of Duesenberg Bassbucker pickups delivers the sound.

Duesenberg Guitars was founded in 1995 by Dieter Gölsdorf in Hanover. The manufacturer's beautiful guitars draw on the 1940s and 1950s and the Art Deco era. The electric guitar model Starplayer was the first offering and still ranks among the company's bestsellers today. But the instruments are not based on nostalgia alone: innovative parts such as the comfortable Z-Tuners, the third pickup mounting screw on the pickup frame to allow the pickup to be precisely aligned with the strings, or the Duesenberg Deluxe Tremola set them apart.
