Members bjcarl Posted February 3, 2013 Members Share Posted February 3, 2013 Anything and everything Duesenberg makes is hot. The price is a major ass-raping, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BydoEmpire Posted February 3, 2013 Members Share Posted February 3, 2013 Not something I'd buy, but still pretty hot. Neck pickup would be even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleTrails Posted February 3, 2013 Members Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hot, but I can't figure out why a guitar with one pickup needs a pickup selector switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the ability to be multi-tapped, this single pickup in conjunction with a 3 way switch can give you everything from jangley, single coil tones to super beefy tones Les Paul Jr oomph that you'll swear might pass for a humbucker."

Members Flatspotter Posted February 3, 2013 Members Share Posted February 3, 2013 Needs another pickup. And why put a rosewood veneer on the headstock and then paint it black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GreatDane Posted February 4, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 Don't let price cloud your decision. If you think it's hot (or not), then that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Flintc Posted February 4, 2013 Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 I recently got the chance to noodle on a Duesenberg Fullerton Hollow, which is kind of like the ES-330 -- slim fully hollow, P90 pickups. The sound was very nice, kind of chimey and the tone control gave a really nice range of sounds, between the two pickups.The price, though, was absurd. Aren't these made in Korea? This one had an asking price of nearly $3300, and really, what are you getting for all that money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BeanoBoy Posted February 4, 2013 Members Share Posted February 4, 2013 Hot, but my favorite Duesenberg is the Double Cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a p-90 at that. EDIT: I just saw GreatDane answered that question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
