2011 Duesenberg Senior 52 Goldtop with Factory Little Toaster Pickup
Here is a 2011 Duesenberg Senior 52 Goldtop with the factory Duesenberg Little Toaster pickup, the less commonly seen configuration compared with the standard Domino-only setup. It is a stripped-down, chambered single-cut with more tonal range than the simple one-pickup layout suggests, pairing Duesenberg’s elegant build quality with a lively, resonant feel and a clear, open voice. Also included are an additional Duesenberg Domino P-90 pickup and the original hardshell case.
Full DescriptionThe Duesenberg Senior 52 is a beautifully simple guitar, and this example adds a less common factory pickup configuration to that stripped-down design. The chambered mahogany body, arched maple top, set mahogany neck, and rosewood fingerboard give it a solid, responsive feel with a nice balance of warmth, snap, and sustain. It has the look of a stripped-down goldtop, but the construction and hardware are pure Duesenberg: clean, thoughtful, and very well executed.
This particular guitar features the factory Duesenberg Little Toaster pickup, rather than the more common Domino-only setup. The Little Toaster gives the guitar a clear, open, vintage-inspired voice with plenty of chime, bite, and note definition. It keeps the guitar direct and simple, but not limited. The 3-way sound selector, volume, and tone controls give it more usable range than the single-pickup layout might suggest.
The hardware is also part of the appeal. The guitar features nickel Duesenberg Z-Tuners, nickel control knobs, a nickel Duesenberg wraparound bridge, and Duesenberg’s distinctive banjo-style nickel armrest, which adds both visual character and real playing comfort. The result is a guitar that feels refined without feeling delicate, distinctive without feeling overdesigned, and very usable as a player’s instrument.
Also included is an additional Duesenberg Domino P-90 pickup, giving the next owner another factory-correct tonal option if desired. The original hardshell case is included as well.
