Semi-Hollow Versatility for Studio and Stage

The Duesenberg Starplayer TV Midnight Flake is engineered for musicians who refuse to be limited by their instrument. Semi-hollow construction with a solid center block delivers the distinct warmth of a hollow body while maintaining the feedback resistance needed for high-volume performance. The laminated spruce top and flamed maple back and sides create a lightweight yet stable platform for both recording and touring. This semi-hollow design has made the Starplayer TV the choice of professional touring musicians worldwide.

Pickup Configuration That Cuts Through Any Mix

The pairing of a Duesenberg Domino P90 at the neck position with a GrandVintage Humbucker at the bridge creates one of the most flexible pickup combinations in its category. The P90 delivers creamy, dynamic midrange tones perfect for clean passages, rhythm work, and vintage voicings. The GrandVintage Humbucker offers classical balance and clarity, cutting through dense mixes without harshness. A custom three-way wiring trims low-end in the middle position, opening up the tone for more definition and air. The Duesenberg Starplayer TV Midnight Flake excels whether you're tracking jazz standards, blues grooves, or modern rock riffs.

Precision Hardware and Vibrato Stability

Professional-grade hardware defines the Duesenberg Starplayer TV Midnight Flake as an instrument built to last. The Duesenberg Z-Tuners feature precision gearing and service-free operation, with string ends that tuck neatly inside the tuner shaft to prevent snagging. The Steel Saddle Bridge ensures solid intonation and reliable string seating. The Duesenberg Diamond Deluxe Tremola vibrato system represents the pinnacle of modern classic vibrato design, offering smooth pitch modulation without tuning drift. Needle and nylon bearings provide fluid, responsive movement, while the lightweight construction keeps the guitar balanced and comfortable during extended play sessions.

Fretwork and Playability

The 305 mm (12-inch) radius fingerboard balances comfortable chord playing with smooth single-note lead work.
