Members JRicoC Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I don't care about the pricing or anything, but I rarely find Duesenbergs to be visually appealing. They are just too gaudy for me; trying too hard ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members foppy Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I dunno. Looks good, but $2000 for a Korean guitar? Not that Korean guitars aren't good. But you'd better like it because the resale would be a catastrophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were made in Germany?In fact, everything I can find indicated they are built in Hannover, Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foppy Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 I thought they were made in Germany?In fact, everything I can find indicated they are built in Hannover, Germany Well, that's not what internet people say these days. Who knows? Not me, I haven't witnessed their production. All I know is that the wise men on the internet now say that Duesenbergs are made in Korea and assembled and set up in Germany. Like they say Edwards guitars are made in China and assembled in Japan.This has caused Duesenbergs' popularity to plummet. I have an Edwards and like it; maybe it's worth more than I paid (around $700 shipped). I don't care if it's mostly made in China. But then I didn't pay $2000 for it thinking it was all MIJ.

While I don't generally care about country of origin I also don't like being deceived. A Duesenberg was really high on my short list of potential rewards should I meet my investment goals this year but I'm not really sure I want to pay that much when they aren't even made where they claim. Maybe I'll save $1000+ and get a Reverend Rick Vito signature instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members foppy Posted January 10, 2011 Members Share Posted January 10, 2011 kit, if you want to hear people hold forth on this issue, check out the fairly recent thread on the Gear Page: http://www.thegearpage.net/board/showthread.php?t=822502&highlight=duesenberg Again, I have no first-hand knowledge of this, and I suppose none of the experts on that thread do either. But it's what people are saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
