SOLD : Duesenberg 52 Senior

prudd

Hi all, posting these 2 beauties on behalf of my brother, though I did own them myself in the first place.


Sorry Tokai is withdrawn from sale, he really is having trouble letting it go....

first up a Made in Japan ES130 from 2008, i originally bought this new after a long hunt for a decent (affordable) ES335, this was head and shoulders above anything I tried. I only sold it to my brother because I subsequently found a 1981 ES100 I fell in love with.
its in great condition, ungigged and always looked after properly. Nice beefy neck and plays faultlessly. Quality hard case included.

withdrawn £899 collection from Hemel Hempstead or Chesham in work hours

SOLD Next up, a stunning Duesenberg 52 Senior with P90 pickup including original Duesenberg case and all candy.
some blurb:
Thanks to an ingenious wiring setup that pulls three different high-quality sounds out of one pickup you have a guitar that can handle any situation with ease and style.

1: Fat and present, a typical P90 sound
2: Glassy, pearl-like, full-bodied (rhythm) sound
3: Bell-like and volumetric, the characteristic sound of a P90 neck pickup

The instrument’s mahogany body gives you a great, warm tone and with resonance chambers designed not only to make the weight of the 52 Senior easy to manage but provide it with a great resonance and balance this sounds amazing. The mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard provide an earthy tone and feel, while the brass wrap-around bridge with its steel saddles enables immediate and precise transfer of vibration from strings to body so you get great sustain and the action is just stunning

Tokai is 3.3kg which is 7.27 lbs and Doozy is 3.6kg which is 7.93 lbs. So the Tokai is £123 per lb and the Doozy is £138 per lb

No, that was a Duesenberg I had with the Toaster Humbucker on it, I sold that one to a mate, so still get to use it if need be

If your brother just happens to fancy a Les Paul special point him in my direction so we can have a chat about that Tokai.

Disagree. IMO it looks a proper down and dirty slut. And it's eyeing me up seductively...

The Tokai also looks a belter. Alas, I have no money...

Gorgeous 335!

thanks for the offer @teyeplayer, he really is only looking for a cash sale, trying to recoup some cash after a gas attack last weekend.

What’s the neck like on the Tokai? 

prudd

fairly beefy, a nice rounded comfy handful, definitely more 59 than 60.

bump, open to offers

I can see I’m going to have to pop a few more bits up for sale, that Tokai is calling to me.
