Made in the same factory too, by all accounts. And the Rev has the bass contour control, which on its own is a reason to buy one.

Only downsides for me were personal preferences: I like big frets and although the frets are described as jumbo I'd say they're more accurately medium jumbo and I would probably have ended up having it refretted if I'd bought it; and I prefer Gibson scale to Fender and I thought the 25.6" scale length would eventually start to bug me. If not for those issues I'm sure I'd have snapped it up.
None of which I have a problem with - except that they are not up front about it.
Great trem, like having a Bigsby that works. I thought it sounded amazing, great pickups.
But it was very stiff to play, didn't like the neck, thick finish and I have no doubt the wood work was done in Korea. My guitar tech said the truss rod opening was a tell tale sign of Korean manufacturing with the square opening, not sure how true that is.
I didn't know muich about them and got this as a bit of a 'for services rendered' sort of thing (no, not those sorts of services before you ask). Colour-wise it looked a bit like my old far-eastern Hofner Macca knock-off so I was stunned when I discovered how much they actually cost.
i once saw a mod/psych band playing in France and the guitarist had one of those Rickenbacker-inspired ones - The Double Cat? or was that a 12-string? Anyway it looked pretty good and sounded great.
But I don't think, based on price alone, that Duesenberg would be my first choice for a new guitar, sadly.

Bit of an expensive wang-bar though.
