Description

The Duesenberg Starplayer TV Phonic – Black is an instrument that doesn’t just sit in your collection—it commands the stage, oozing pure class and rock ‘n’ roll defiance. With a semi-hollow body, sustain block, and double f-holes, this guitar delivers a tonal blend of airiness and punch, making it as versatile as it is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The laminated spruce top paired with a flamed maple back and sides gives it a crisp attack with a warm, singing sustain, all wrapped in a luxurious PUR lacquer that screams high-end craftsmanship.

At the heart of the Phonic’s sonic arsenal is a D-Tron humbucker in the neck and a GrandVintage humbucker in the bridge, giving you a broad spectrum of tones—from crystal-clear cleans dripping in chime to snarling overdriven growls that cut through any mix. And with Duesenberg’s Vario-Tone controls, you can sculpt your sound with precision, dialing in everything from vintage warmth to modern bite. The Duesenberg Radiator Tremola ensures silky smooth vibrato with rock-solid tuning stability, while the Steel Saddle Bridge enhances sustain and clarity.

The maple neck is shaped into a comfortable Medium D profile, designed for effortless playability whether you're riffing, bending, or gliding through lead lines. The Indian Rosewood fingerboard, adorned with diamond inlays, feels luxurious under the fingers, and the jumbo frets ensure a smooth, expressive playing experience. With a 25.5" scale length, this guitar delivers clarity and snap, perfect for dynamic players who demand responsiveness.

Every detail is meticulously crafted, from the deluxe 5-ply binding to the transparent floating pickguard, exuding an understated elegance that sets this guitar apart. The Duesenberg Z-Tuners and straplock-compatible pins add reliability, while the included Custom Line Case keeps your instrument protected in style. Weighing in at a perfectly balanced 7 lbs 8 oz, the Starplayer TV Phonic is built for long gigs, studio sessions, and everything in between. Whether you’re chasing vintage warmth or modern precision, this guitar is ready to make a statement—bold, brilliant, and unmistakably Duesenberg.
