About this listing
The Starplayer Special is a solidbody, dual pickup, 22 fret electric guitar, featuring a contoured alder body, bolt-on neck and a 647mm scale. Prototyped in 1992, the Starplayer Special is where it all started! The Starplayer Special combines a variety of different approaches to form an instrument which is both high quality but also affordable. Its Alder body is contoured for premium looks and playability and then fitted with a bolt-on maple neck. This combination presents exceptional sound and clarity which brings sweet thick tones and long sustain. Our maple neck and rosewood fingerboard deliver a distinctive attack and clarity not usually associated with single cutaway guitars. The neck heel is set in traditionally, but bolt-on with two strong power proof threaded machine screws. This junction combines "both worlds" of guitar construction while keeping the end of the neck covered by the body side as it ought to be realized in proper guitar building and design. Moreover that this new design creates a combination of overtones, sustain and attack not achieved by guitars of the past.The mounted Grand Vintage pickup – in combination with the slightly higher output Crunchbucker – delivers penetrating and powerful rock sound. The Multi-Tone control extends the possibilities beyond that with several additional singlecoil-like sound options.All our instruments are fitted with our own hardware, which you will only find on a Duesenberg. We design it with attention to even the smallest details to create truly unique instruments from tuner buttons to jack plates. And with the Starplayer Special, you get the same high quality hardware as on all our other instruments.The instrument is in excellent condition. There is a small "bubble" in the D-logo on the head of the neck (see pictures).
