From the manufacturer's website:

Duesenberg presents the ultra-premium, limited-edition “ALLIANCE SERIES JAMES BOND 007” model, available in only 75 pieces worldwide!

This model was realized with the collaboration of David Arnold, who composed the music for five 007 series films, including “Tomorrow Never Dies” and “Casino Royale.”

Based on the popular solid-body model Paloma,

the body top features an iconic gun barrel design,

while the back showcases a graphic layout of the titles from the 25 007 series films.

Additionally, the headstock is engraved with the original 007 gun logo.

This guitar also comes with special accessories.

Excerpt from the original release article

This David Arnold Edition was inspired by the custom-made Duesenberg guitar used by David Arnold and Hans Zimmer at the ‘Sound of 007 in Concert’ event held in London in October 2022.

The base model is Duesenberg's Paloma. The top design features a gun barrel sequence, while the back features title graphics from all 25 007 series films. The headstock and knobs feature the 007 logo. It comes with a 007 hard case and art print. Duesenberg guitars were recommended to David Arnold by Chris Cornell when he was working on ‘007/Casino Royale,’ and he has been using them ever since.

About the base model, the Duesenberg Paloma

The Paloma is a rare model within the Duesenberg lineup, featuring a fully solid alder body with an elbow cut and waist contour. It is characterized by diamond inlays and a unique offset body shape.

The SSH pickup configuration is connected to a 4-way rotary switch, offering four positions: front, front + rear (tapped), center + rear (tapped), and rear. It flexibly accommodates a wide range of musical genres, from bright and warm sounds to rugged rock sounds. The Bigsby-style tremolo unit is also highly refined, providing smooth vibrato.

All Duesenberg guitars undergo processing by Plek (guitar scanning) in Germany, with each neck adjusted to within one-hundredth of a millimeter using computerized processing.
