FT/FS - Duesenburg Caribou cheaper price & free pedal! OFFERS ACCEPTED
What's Hot
Right first off this is an amazing guitar that covers just about everything and if my dinky little hands could get used to the neck I'd be keeping it, however....I do have dinky hands so....
It's the twin pickup that has humbucker at bridge & P90 at neck, it sounds huge, every single tone is usable. The guitar itself is in as new status. The guitar has only once been to a practice and has never been gigged. It comes with all the case candy and the most amazing case I've ever seen!
I'd be looking to change to something with P90's and with these going for £1690 as being as new I think the price at £1400 is fair.
This was my wedding present from my wife and I thought I would get used to the neck, but alas, no! Need to get something that suits me a bit more and I'm looking for a P90 Les Paul'y style or PRS Mcathy P90 or something 335ish, Low wattage amps considered in p/x
REDUCED PRICE1250!!! Or trades as above

Sorry, that's just not my thing. Thanks for th offer though
I'm not sure that I need the Duesenburg though. Sonically seems very familiar to my Power Jet.
but in gold....but it is lovely!
Quite different sounding guitars. Sorry
I found the Powerjet to be quite a one trick pony. The Powertrons seemed very mid stacked to me. Often sounding quite muddy in a Jet until
they get let loose through a hot amp in band setting. Then what cuts through is pure Gretsch goodness and it absolutely rocks. Doing anything else always felt like swimming against the tide.
The Caribou offers two very different pickups. The bridge is quite a brittle and toppy sounding thing. I have mine right up to the strings and it’s just rude frankly. It’s bitey and aggressive but easily kept away from getting to ice pick territory with a little tone rolled off at the amp. Will take you from power chords and riffs to punk
The P90 is super smooth and warm. Mellow yet somehow balances perfectly volume wise with the snarly and gritty bridge. The downside of this broad stretch is I don’t think the middle position works well.
It’s also far better built than the Jet. The hardware is a definite step up, the controls are usable and do just what they’re supposed to. It will always stay in tune when you use the trem and mine will allow an action much lower than I actually like to play.
All that said, it’s probably harder to love a guitar that perfect than it is the Jet, with all it’s quirks and idiosyncrasies. Mine has got totally under my skin though and I do love it.
