Beauty, clarity, reliability.

The Starplayer TV is known for its clear, flexible tone that feels at home in just about any genre.

It wasn’t built to do one thing well. It was built to bring something new wherever it goes. For players who don’t want to be boxed in, and for those shaping a sound that’s entirely their own.
And along the way, it gives you plenty to work with.

Details

Duesenberg Starplayer TV Headstock

Headstock & Tuners

A high-gloss headstock, clean and understated, fitted with our ultra-smooth Z-Tuners and Metal Ornament D-Logo.

The Z-Tuners are precise, easy to dial in, and thoughtfully designed. String ends tuck neatly inside the tuner shaft, so nothing’s left to snag your case, your gig bag, or your fingers.

Service-free life guaranteed.

Duesenberg Starplayer TV Neck

Neck & Fretboard

Our Plek process lets us set the action low while keeping every note clean and buzz-free.

Each fret is measured and leveled with microscopic precision, then finished by hand. Polished frets and softly rounded edges give the neck a smooth, natural and broken-in feel.

It’s all part of making sure every Duesenberg feels right the moment you pick it up.

Duesenberg Starplayer TV Body

Pickups

A signal chain that makes FOH go wow.

Duesenberg pickups are known for their clear, versatile voice that cuts through, from mellow jazz to full-on rock without the need for high volumes.

A creamy and dynamic Domino P90 at the neck pairs with a classicly voiced and balanced GrandVintage humbucker at the bridge. In the middle position, a custom wiring trims the low end of the humbucker, opening things up for a more airy and responsive tone.

Duesenberg Starplayer TV Tremolo

Sapphire Deluxe Vibrato

A serious take on a classic idea.

Smooth to the touch, absolutely stable in tuning, and easy to restring, our Sapphire Deluxe Tremola keeps things simple where it matters. It’s lightweight, responsive, and built to stay out of your way while you play.

Needle and nylon bearings give it that precise, fluid feel. The arm rotates freely, adjusts to your preference, and the strings thread through cleanly for quick changes.

Made to be used, night after night.

Hardware

Nickel Hardware

Most of our hardware is nickel finished.

You will find the geometrical three steps in almost every part on our instruments, from the curves on the headstock to the shape of the output jack.

When compared to regular chrome finishes, nickel has a beautiful warm and elegant sheen and ages naturally over time. It's the way things were done before chrome became the standard. If you don't want the hardware on your instrument to age, we recommend regular cleaning.

Case (included)

It's a case you can just throw in the back of a car, train or airplane and won't have to worry about.
