New Duesenberg

Kent747

Not sure if everyone saw this - new Duesenberg model for this year. Not sure what I think yet - but can assume it’ll be pricey.

If Gretsch made explorers.   

Kinda interesting though

I see "backwards Jazzmaster". Not a bad attempt

Is it my eyes, or does the hard tail one have a shorter scale?

I don't love it but I also don't hate it. Odd one!

Wow. Love it!

A Newsenberg!

At first glance I thought it was a twin-necked guitar - now that would have been a bit different!

As it is, I like it anyway. I generally love most of what Duesenberg do though, so not surprising.

Is it new, or just reissued? Feels like I’ve seen this before from them, no?

*edit* Nope, I'm thinking of this Schecter:

I really like that, very cool looking

I’m really looking forward to trying out the split king pickups. It will be good so see how authentic they sound. 

The vibrato system on that will be wonderful but I think I oddly prefer the stop tail. A first for me because I always grab the non hard tail versions. 

I think it’s a great design, they have nailed that in a way that it’s not classic yet it’s not out there.

That was my first thought too and what is a bit of a gawky plank in a Fender style becomes a deco work of art as a Duesey. 

New pickups from Duesey is probably the most exciting part here, they make some great sounding stuff.

It's my eyes too !

Both 25.5" according to the spec.  Maybe the publicity pic is a composite of two seperate photos?

That’s a cost savings technique.

Do not like the weird fat rear end. Looks deliberately designed to be uncomfortable to play!

Not keen on the trem having a tension bar either - but that's me wanting it to be a jazzmaster... 

Otherwise, quite smart! Like the inlays.

Believe the pickups are available on the 25th anniversary starplayer too, but don’t quote me.

3 a side headstock, to make it harder to use the trem and stay in tune. Very Gibson of them.

(I know the nut can be cut well to accommodate this, but I bet none of them leave the factory like that!).

I’m in love.

Side note - you can have any colour you want as long as it's black.
