The Duesenberg Starplayer TV in Trans Orange is a premium semi-hollow electric guitar that blends classic styling, refined modern engineering and a highly versatile P90 / humbucker pickup combination.

Built around a semi-hollow body with a solid centre block, the Starplayer TV combines the resonance and openness of a hollow-style guitar with improved feedback resistance and sustain for louder stage use.

Its laminated spruce top and laminated flamed maple back and sides are paired with a set one-piece maple neck and Indian rosewood fingerboard, while the distinctive Duesenberg Domino P90 neck pickup and GrandVintage humbucker bridge pickup provide a broad palette ranging from warm, articulate cleans to punchy rock tones.

This Pre-Owned example is finished in striking Trans Orange, is in Very Good condition, weighs an actual 8.14 lbs, and includes a hardcase.

WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT

The Starplayer TV sits in a particularly useful space between traditional semi-hollow guitars and solid-body instruments.

Its centre-block construction keeps the guitar controlled at higher volume levels, while the semi-hollow body still provides an open and lively response.

The pickup pairing is also unusually flexible. The Domino P90 in the neck gives a broad, articulate single-coil sound with more body than a conventional Strat-style pickup, while the GrandVintage humbucker at the bridge adds additional output and thickness for driven rhythm and lead work.

DETAILED FEATURES & BENEFITS

Semi-Hollow Construction

The Starplayer TV uses a semi-hollow body with a central sustain block.

This gives the guitar more acoustic resonance than a conventional solid body while helping reduce the feedback issues often associated with fully hollow electrics.

Laminated Spruce Top

The laminated spruce top contributes to the guitar's lively attack and responsive feel.

It also helps give the Starplayer TV its distinctly vintage-inspired semi-hollow character.

Flamed Maple Back & Sides

Laminated flamed maple is used for the back and sides, giving the guitar additional visual interest and structural stability.

Trans Orange Finish

The Trans Orange finish is one of the most distinctive Starplayer TV looks, allowing the underlying wood character to remain visible while giving the guitar a bold stage presence.

Set Maple Neck

The one-piece maple neck is glued into the body, providing a solid connection and strong sustain.

Medium D Profile

The neck uses Duesenberg’s Medium D profile, providing enough substance to feel supportive without becoming excessively large.

Indian Rosewood Fingerboard

The Indian rosewood fingerboard provides a smooth playing surface and a classic visual contrast against the maple neck.

12" Radius

The 12" fingerboard radius offers a comfortable balance between chord work and lead playing.

It also makes string bending more forgiving than on strongly curved vintage-style fingerboards.

25.5" Scale Length

The 25.5" scale length provides a slightly tighter and more articulate feel than shorter-scale semi-hollow guitars.

This helps keep the low end defined and gives the guitar a crisp response.

Domino P90 Neck Pickup

The Duesenberg Domino P90 delivers a broad, open neck sound with strong midrange character.

It works particularly well for blues, clean rhythm, jazzier textures and expressive lead playing.

GrandVintage Humbucker

The bridge-position GrandVintage humbucker provides a fuller and more powerful response.

It is particularly effective for classic rock, crunch and lead tones.

Three-Way Pickup Switching

A simple 3-way selector provides neck, combined and bridge pickup options.

The middle position gives a particularly useful blend of the P90 and humbucker voices.

Diamond Deluxe Tremola

The Duesenberg Diamond Deluxe Tremola provides smooth vibrato operation with a refined feel.

It is designed for expressive pitch movement while retaining good tuning stability when correctly set up.

Steel-Saddle Bridge

The Duesenberg steel-saddle bridge contributes to the guitar’s clear attack and precise intonation.

Z-Tuners

Duesenberg Z-Tuners provide smooth tuning adjustment and neatly capture the string end inside the post.

8.14 lbs Actual Weight

This individual guitar weighs 8.14 lbs, giving buyers an accurate indication of how this specific example will feel.

WHO IS IT FOR?

The Duesenberg Starplayer TV is particularly well suited to rock, blues, indie, alternative, pop, roots and session players who want a semi-hollow guitar with more versatility than a traditional vintage-style design.

It is also a strong option for players who want something visually distinctive without sacrificing practicality on stage.

PLAYING STYLES & APPLICATIONS

The Starplayer TV works especially well for:

• Blues

• Classic rock

• Indie

• Alternative

• Pop

• Roots

• Americana

• Clean rhythm

• Overdriven lead work

• Studio sessions

The combination of P90 and humbucker voices makes it unusually flexible across clean and driven sounds.

HOW IT COMPARES

Starplayer TV vs Fully Hollow Guitar

A fully hollow guitar generally provides more acoustic resonance but can be more prone to feedback at higher volume levels.

The Starplayer TV’s centre block gives it greater control with overdrive and stage volume.

Starplayer TV vs Solid Body

A solid-body guitar generally sounds tighter and more focused.

The Starplayer TV adds a more open and resonant character without becoming as unruly as a fully hollow instrument.

P90 / Humbucker vs Dual Humbuckers

A dual-humbucker guitar tends to provide two thicker, more powerful tones.

The Domino P90 neck pickup adds a more open and articulate single-coil voice, increasing the overall tonal range.

FAIR DEAL MUSIC EXPERT VERDICT ★★★★★

Best suited for: Players wanting a premium semi-hollow electric with excellent clean tones, strong overdriven performance and distinctive styling.

Customers usually upgrade from: Mid-priced semi-hollow guitars, Gretsch Electromatic models, Epiphone semi-hollows and conventional dual-humbucker instruments.

Most commonly paired with: Valve amplifiers, overdrive, tremolo, delay, reverb and modulation effects.

Our tip: The middle pickup position is especially useful on the Starplayer TV. Blending the Domino P90 with the GrandVintage humbucker gives a complex, articulate sound that sits very well in a full band mix.

Showroom feedback: The Starplayer TV feels exceptionally refined. The Trans Orange finish gives this example huge visual presence, while the P90/humbucker combination makes it much more versatile than its vintage styling might suggest.
