Members Tweedledee Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Beautiful! I have yet to see a Duesenberg that I don't like. I love the finish on the body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArKay Posted May 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Thanks! That's the one I liked the most even though the D-Caster is also pretty tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Elias Graves Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 That's beautiful. I have never seen one before. thanks for all the pics. hell, even the jackplate is cool. Nice score. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArKay Posted May 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Thanks! The only complaint I have so far is that the 3-way switch is pretty clanky. It's a quality switch, but mounting it on a fat plastic pickguard probably wasn't a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members itieu Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Excellent, I really like them. Last year at NAMM they sponsored a party and all the players used them including Brent Mason. Excellent sounding guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArKay Posted May 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, there are many famous closet Duesenberg players out there. http://www.duesenberg.de/duesenberg/en_arti.php Even James Hetfield has one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MickSlick Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 Arkay, great looking guitar, I'm going to be banging around Germany for a couple weeks, is it even worthwhile checking out guitar stuff during the trip? I will be in Munich, Frankfurt (just a little) then off to Vienna (these are the bigger cities). Any "friendly" guitar stores that wouldn't mind a yank trying out some local production. I would even consider picking one up, and having them ship it to me, but the USD to Euro exchange rate keeps sucking the Gibson tainted pond water. The Dusenberg's look great and have tweaked my interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ArKay Posted May 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 I know Musik Schmidt in Frankfurt, they have a huge (probably modest compared to Guitar Center) selection of guitars. They have a couple of Duesenbergs and a few Framus models. We don't have many local brands. You can try out stuff there, but you have to ask (plenty of Don't Touch signs).

Members Ancient Mariner Posted May 30, 2009 Members Share Posted May 30, 2009 I'd say they have a better selection than either of the GCs in Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been to a GC, but I'm always impressed by Musik Schmidt. That's the only shop here which takes a couple of nice pics for their online shop. http://www.musik-schmidt.de/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tweedledee Posted May 31, 2009 Members Share Posted May 31, 2009 This is the third time I've wandered into this thread to look at those photos. That guitar is just so damn classy with all the art deco details and the plain top. I think a quilted or flamed top would have killed the beauty of the guitar. You're definitely fueling some GAS in me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stanfield Posted May 31, 2009 Members Share Posted May 31, 2009 hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks, 'cause it looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArKay Posted May 31, 2009 Author Members Share Posted May 31, 2009 hope it plays and sounds as good as it looks, 'cause it looks fantastic. It does. Even though it's a pre-Plek model (they have just started Pleking them a few months ago) I can set the action very low. The neck feels very comfortable in my hands as well since it's neither too thin, nor a baseball bat and the pickups sound great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
