New ? - Goldo/Duesenberg Jazzmaster/Jaguar Off Set Trem

guitars4you

The Duesenberg Tremelos have been getting a well deserved reputation for a while now - Just noticed a 'new' Off Set trem for Jaguar + Jazzmaster models - Believe Goldo is effectively a new 'parts/hardware' division within Duesenberg

This new trem, is a total retro fit - no new holes etc etc - But a new format - vintage styling but as they say say smooth and responsive with up/down pitch - Not sure if anyone has tried one yet

I was looking at those earlier, and there's an trapeze version too



interesting but looks like you'd need to remove material underneath it though



I'd like one of these for the bigsby on my LP but can't see anyone stocking them

the arm is nowhere near long enough by the looks of it

I saw those in an email from Rockinger. They do look interesting.

It looks like it's based on the old Hagström tremolo which was also fitted to some Guild solid bodies?

It's hideous.

I ordered some parts direct from duesenberg recently, parts and service were both excellent

Am I in a minority of people who think the basic design of the offset vibrato is quite good, and it's the bridge that's usually a hassle? That's been my experience anyway.  

If that's the case then this is both over engineered and ugly. Unless you were going for a very specific look you'd just put a StayTrem arm in your current trem.

Got to admit, other than the price of their stuff, there is very little about the Duesenberg aesthetic that I don't like.

I’ve always thought that once you get into four figure guitars, Dooozy represent the best value there is. They offer a PRS quality build but retain a unique playing character and tone. 

Would quite like to check one of these out but I don’t have a problem with either of my Jag trems. And one of those is just stock Squier.

It’s essentially the Duesenberg Tremola mounted to an offset vibrato plate. Should work well, but will feel quite different to a more traditional offset vibrato

Looks like there’s almost zero break angle, strings would be popping out of saddles with that set up.

Yep, the only reason I don't like the price is because I can't afford it! They are worth it in my humble opinion.

I’m sure I remember coming across the Goldo brand when I was looking for some pots on Thomann a few years back, and they seemed to be on the cheaper side. So I’m surprised to hear they’re related to Duesenberg.

Yes run by the Doozie guys - But apparently Thomann take  a large part of their production run
